Relation between College and Career

I see a very strong correlation between my education at Stockton and my career path because my path thus far is chosen. The classes I am enrolled in are specific to my major, nursing, making my peers strictly others looking to become nurses. My career choice is nursing because I enjoy helping other and will also appreciate the flexible hours of a nurse. Also, nurses are paid very well, which will help off-set the cost of my horse and other activities I enjoy. I hope that by becoming a nurse I will be able to fully support myself on my own without needing to be dependent upon anyone else. I really would enjoy the independence associated with a career in nursing. Not only will I be financially independent, but the career itself requires a great amount of independence. Nurses must be quick-thinking and confident in their decisions. Many times a nurse will need to make medical decisions without the guidance of a doctor. While that will be an immense stress, I feel that I will be able to undertake the responsibility.
If I did not know my career choice, going to college would help to keep me motivated to decide upon a career. Being at school helps to expose students to various majors and career paths. This is something that is hard to find in any other environment.
