Need help with my college major!!!?

So pretty much i have my mind set on nursing school and going there for 16 months and working in a hospital and that. But im not completely sold on it. I have other things in mind, like an xray tech, dietitian, criminal justice and a mortition. I was also thinking something like in the fashion world or photography world? I love to shop and love taking pictures. Also I am thinking long term also, i want to come home and have a life with my wife. I dont want to be in school til im 25 ya know? I want to work my shift then come home and be with my wife.

    During your time at nursing school, you may discover more about other fields of medical care, and you may transfer into them. Fashion and photography can be an avocation, as a job is much more difficult to obtain and sustain as things change. If you sincerely feel that you don't wish to study long term for a career, don't forget that nursing requires ongoing study for changes in the field, sometimes double shifts, if people don't show up or the hospital gets busy because of a tragedy. You may be better off getting a job in a factory where you won't have to worry about human lives and pain.

    Heping people and getting paid good $ makes nursing school a good investment. Really is 3-4 yrs too long to develop a career? All of your choices seem good. Btw, 140k is not unheard of for nurses in certain markets.
