24F nurse & I hate my life. I feel hopeless. What should I do?
Hey so I graduated in 2022 with a bio degree following a pre-med path. I worked as an emt from 2020-2022. I realized I had no money and only debt so I panicked and went to an accelerated nursing program so that I could make nursing money while figuring life out. Well now I have been working as a nurse for a year and I hate it. I hate being a nurse and I hate my life. I live in upstate New York and all my money goes into my mountain of debt. I thought maybe I could still go to medical school or maybe even vet school but I feel so behind. I have 200k in student loan debt and my nursing job eats away at my soul. I thought nursing would simply be a way to make money but it has taught me that money isn’t everything. I wanted to be a doctor but now I hate healthcare. Covid changed everything. I feel trapped as a nurse with such little experience. People say get a remote job, get a job away from bedside, but those jobs are not hiring new nurses. Tbh I actually would like to be a writer and pursue a career in film but I know that is not realistic and I wouldn’t even know where to begin. I have worked for years to get to this point and now I feel stuck and hopeless. All I know is healthcare & I am so unhappy. I want to be a writer or an actress but I’m not a nepo baby. My family is poor. I am poor because of all these bills. I also love nature and being out in the sun. The idea of being a park ranger is cool. I just am tired of the dead people and the sick people and the miserable coworkers in my field. I want to be free but I don’t know how or what to do. I want to leave New York and go somewhere else but in the back of my mind I imagine breaking out in the NYC film industry somehow? Idk. Any advice?
