need help in chosing a career

hey guys, just thought i'd post this here and see if i can get any help. im currently going to be graduating college in december with a degree in physical education. i mean i like teaching and all that stuff but i am going to make NO money and its extremely hard to find a job as well. i was thinking about maybe going into an accelerated nursing program which can be completed in 12-18 months after having ANY bachelors degree which i will have.... i want to be happy with what i do but i want to make money too... i know i shouldnt have gone this far if i wasnt going to go through with it but im really having second thoughts right now.

is there anything that can be completed in 1-2 years that i can do that will get me some money?? i was even thinking of being a cop, lol as bad as that may sound. i am really open to all suggestions right now. i have to make up my mind on what it is i am going to do with my life. im not asking that you make that decision for me, just maybe give me some options that i might not be aware of. please help me out. thanks!

Nursing is a good choice, you can make mad money here in the US, you are helping people out and you'll have no trouble finding a job. Plus, think of all the hot single nurses out there. Then, think about the hot single cops out there. Can't do it, can you?

Hey, Ginko how's things?..

Sorry I can't advise on job oppertunities in the USA. But whats bad about being a cop, apart from the fact everyone here hates cops?.

Although some men frown on male nurses I think that is an excellent field for you. If you don't want to deal with the mess of general nursing go into a specialization such as Psychiatric nursing. Another perk is that 95% of your peers will be women. My line of work is very similar 9 women to every 1 man and I wouldn't have it any other way ;)

If your gonna get into the med field try becoming a paramedic that way you have options to become a firefighter...

Yes, the money is good at times, but you have weekends where it's really bad too. Some weekends I clear 2 g's in 2 nights of work, other weekends I'm lucky to bring home 7 or 800 bucks. Stay the **** out of it at all costs, money isnt everything, and there comes a point where respect means more.
