I hate the idea of working in a hospital with sick people all day. Is it a mistake to pursue a bs in nursing?

Everyone is telling me to go into nursing because that is where the money is. I'm a sophomore in college and considering switching my major from math to nursing. I'm probably going to have to start over, but I'm willing to do that if it's worth it. I really don't know what the hell it is that I want to do as a career so I'm just looking right now to go into a career that will keep me financially stable, a job where that I will be relatively easy to find and I am almost guaranteed good money, without having to wait until I'm 35. Nursing seems like the best choice. But the idea of working with sick people and their families all day just irks the hell out of me. I hate hospitals with a passion. I've had people tell me that I should pursue it anyway because I'll grow to like it. Maybe they're right. I'd like to hear from some of you guys, especially those of you who are nurses. Also, if you would like to suggest a career to me that you think would be more suitable, definitely do.

Please don't listen to what others think your career should be. You need to listen to your heart. If you don't like sick people, than don't be a nurse. You aren't being a horrible person by choosing math, you just have your best interests at heart. You will likely make more money as a math major than a nurse, if that makes any difference. I have a friend who studied math, got a job as an actuary for an insurance company, and makes close to 70k right out of college.

There are tons of "good jobs" that have noting to do with medicine.

Lawyer comes to mind.

Don't like sick people? Hate hospitals? I don't think you should be a nurse. There aren't too many positions out there for nurses that don't involve sick people. Even school nurses deal with sick kids.

Maybe you should try something else? Go into Law, they make money too.

No, nursing is something you must have a passion for. While there are other career paths that you can choose with a nursing degree, the basics of nursing will be dealing with ill people. If you resent them, how will you be able to care for them?

Take a career aptitute test, find something that you truly enjoy, or enter college with an undeclared major and take a variety of classes until you find something that truly suits you, but please don't knowingly go into a field that you will not like. Especially nursing. Sick people and their families need compassionate care and help, not someone who is irked by them and only in it for the money.

Probably best that you do sick people a favor and stick with math.

Don't go into something you hate! If you don't want to do math and are still completely clueless, take a semester or two and just take basic classes in a variety of areas that interest you or sound interesting to get a feel for them. This may help you better decide what you're major really should be.

You may also want to take a career test that analyzes your strengths, weaknesses, and interests to determine what careers would be best for you - there are a lot listed and you can see which of the careers they say you'd be good at. You can then determine your major from there. Go to your college career center or look online for these tests (take a few to see if they all agree :P )

Obviously nursing is not the career choice for you.

If you like math, maybe something like a financial analyst or investment banker would draw the big bucks, if thats what you're after.
