I have been searching for a course really since GCSE to do at university. I enjoy art so it went from art to design to animation...and now I've got my personal statement and ect ect and while I enjoy these things now I'm starting to doubt I'd be able to do them as a job - I'd begin to hate them properly because it's not something you can push yourself to do. I also don't like the idea of working freelance and struggling. I also think that this career has no impact on anyone else but myself and it's of no value to the world.
I am empathetic and in the back of my head I've always had this desire to help people. I've been denying it thinking I couldn't but now I'm thinking things are different. And now I'm seriously considering going into nursing. Possibly in mental health because I have found psychology so interesting in school. I want to make my mum proud of me too. I know she would be no matter what but I'd like to do something of value.
My friends and boyfriend don't think I could I think.
What's your opinion?
I'm thinking I apply for animation and see how I feel when school's finished because it's november now and if I take a year out I can get some money, do some volunteer work and see where I'm supposed to go.
What do you think of this? I know I wont get too harshly judged here I don't think.......
I'm applying to do nursing next year. I left college when I was 17 because i didn't get on with it. If you want to do it maybe get some volunteer work. Have you ever met anyone or had experience of mental health problems?
