To really get the most out of an accelerated nursing program, you must be sure that you have the time to dedicate to your training program. For example, if you work full time it is probably not even an option to consider. You simply will not have time for an accelerated nursing program and your job, and there are so few of us who can afford to actually take time off of working, with the current economy as it is. The good news is that, even if you cannot take an accelerated nursing program, you will probably be able to take classes at night to fit around your work schedule, and work towards your nursing degree at your own pace.

Many students entering their college years need to find gainful employment during their four-year educational stay. Jobs for students can also lead to future job opportunities after graduation, so think hard before jumping into work while attending school.
I used to work as a bartender during my entire college career. This is among the dream jobs for students who want to earn money while still keeping a finger on the pulse of the social life. I loved bartending and I liked the idea of making a decent amount of money in relatively little time. I also got to socialize while working.

Upper classmen recognized me from the bar and I became pretty popular on campus. Unfortunately, these kinds of jobs for students pose a great problem: many younger students flirted with the idea that I would serve them because I was only nineteen years old when I first started bartending.

Nevertheless, the decision to become a teacher should not be taken lightly. Think back to high school for a moment. Of course there were those teachers who inspired you and really whetted your appetite for learning, but there were also those other ones – the burnouts. The burnout rate in teaching is very high, because a lot of people choose to become a teacher for the wrong reasons. They want the short years, the summer breaks, and the benefits that come with working in the public schools. They don't realize that teaching is hard work!

It was not a move without controversy. My parents are pretty progressive people – far from Republicans – but even so they have some conventional ideas of what they want their kids to do. I could have been a doctor, a lawyer, a businessman, an accountant, or any other high-paying profession. Having an environmental science degree – at least in their opinion – was not a good use of my time in college. They figured that people with environmental science degrees spent their life broke, drifting from one low-paying job to the other.

Business people are pretty practical folks, and like all practical folks that can be a little thick from time to time. The traditional image of the office as a place where bosses give orders for underlings to obey is only just starting to dissolve in favor of an image that has more to do with cooperation and communication than a hierarchy. Getting everyone to work together in an atmosphere of teamwork is much harder than just having some people tell other people what to do. It requires good communication skills, sophisticated policies, and even interpersonal training. This is why there is such a big boom in careers in communications.
