Karen Said:

Which career path is better, Nursing or Social Services?

We Answered:

well, you will have job security in both, as there will always be a need for both

both are means /ways to help people

nursing pays more,,,,, the hours may be longer and weekends and nights

social services takes more education, a Masters, to really move up in salary, even then, its one of the lower paying jobs, the hours can often be your Monday-Friday days

for each one you need both the desire to help people, develop the ability to handle/deal with people during trying situations, and a understanding that you wont be able to help all, and a tolerance to deal with the situations you encounter day in and day out without burning out.

with all that said, while they have things in common, they are two totally different areas, you will need to find out, with help from your counseling center and also maybe some internships or volunteer work, which your best suited for

What is the best path to a career in the Foreign Services?

We Answered:

You might look into a major in International Relations. You might also look into working for the Peace Corps to get some international experience after college or search for an internship with a US based organization that can give you the international exposure you are looking for. Learning a foreign language can be of great benefit as well especially Arabic. Research colleges with Petersons and look for non-profit jobs at Idealist.
