Nursing.
Teaching.
I feel I need to do pro-con lists for both of these, so I'm going to hash it out here.
Nursing.
Pros:
- Incorporates my previous medical science knowledge.
- Stable job prospects.
- Could work in any field that takes my fancy.
- Apparently relatively well paid.
- Active job.
- NHS will pay the tuition fees.
Cons:
- Another three years at university.
- Unsociable hours.
- According to my mum, working for the NHS is not a walk in the park.
Teaching.
Pros:
- Stable job prospects.
- Relatively well paid.
- Active job.
- Only one year more at university.
- Teaching primary, I would get to teach a bit of everything.
- I work well with children, and enjoy working with them.
- Could work in the private or state sector.
- Good holidays.
- Potential bursary.
Cons:
- Is it a cop-out? The old adage "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach." comes to mind.
- Could end up in a difficult school, with difficult kids.
I am probably leaning towards teaching... but I'd like to know your thoughts or even your experiences in either of these fields.
