There are courses available for all types of subjects. Only you can decide what is that you're interested in. Why not speak to a careers councellor?

How much does community college professors make and what are the benefits to this profession?

Sorry, but to say that you're not "passionate" about nursing tells me that you'd be less than "passionate" as a teacher as well. As a matter of fact, basing your choices on the dollar ... without a "passion" for the work ... really suggests to me, a former teacher, that you would be a very poor teacher at best (and I say this in the kindest manner I can think of).

Find something in the private sector, something that will not require you to work "with" the public. Mastering in biology could possibly lead to Lab work in a clinic or hospital and the pay should be at a level you might be satisfied with.

Good luck!
