Is school really worth the trouble or is it better for me to just stop now?

so heres some educational background about me. Im currently 23, after high school i went to college for 4 years and got a BS in Biology. Originaly plans were med school and all that but i decided i didn't want to pursue that because i didn't want to dedicate a decade to school, i wanted to have a life. However, when I realized I didn't want to do the whole medschool thing I was already in my last year of college so I decided to just finish my degree since i had come all this way already. After i graduated, I didn't want to go into research and It was hard to find any other job because every employer here wants you to either speak spanish or have years of experience... so even with a degree its bs because i don't have the experience because i was a full time student for the past 4 years and nobody wants to give beginners a chance. Anyway, so I decided I wanted to switch career paths and go into nursing. The shortest programs which i can apply to are 2 years long and I was would still need to take a couple prereq classes before i can apply... So my question is, do i even bother doing this and committing to another 2 years of school.... just to get another degree of the same or lesser level just to be stuck int he same position, unable to get a job due to no experience? I am honestly so over school , i don't like it, never have. Also I have a long distance boyfriend and would love to move to him but thats a whole other story, but i can't possibly ask him to wait 2 more yrs..help

    Another two years of school sounds horrendous. If it was me I would relocate to be with bf (if he's 'the one') and get a job in the nursing field to get some practical experience with the option of part time study.
