what should i do with my public health degree

I will be graduating in 2012 and i do not know what to do with my public health degree(minor in mental health services). I use to be pre-nursing but due to low science grades i switched to public health my sophmore year in college. I dont if i should just graduate and go right back for my BSN or get a job and postpone the wait for 2 or 3 years. This economy is so up and down that I wonder if I wait, nursing jobs just might have a tremendous boom and by the time i graduate all the jobs will be gone or if I go ahead and go to right back to nursing school(and still being the age where i can receive free ride through financial aid and scholarships) when I graduate I might not be able to get a job. WHAT SHOULD I DO? :uhoh21:
Hmmm -<quote> "if I go ahead and go to right back to nursing school (and still being the age where i can receive free ride through financial aid and scholarships)" <unquote> I would advise you to carefully examine eligibility for that "free ride" financial aid. Most likely, it is only one degree per customer. If you already have a degree, these programs are drastically diminished. FYI - there is no age limit on scholarships or financial aid..... just saying.
When it comes to financial aid for school, I found that as age and life circumstances progressed, doors to "free rides" closed. If you are serious about obtaining a BSN, I would just bite the bullet and go for it now, before you have any additional responsibilities or other potential walls to get over.
I receive grants to pay for my education. that is what I meant by free ride because my mother doesnt make much money so my EFC is 0 and I dont pay anything to my school. I apologize.
The phrase "free ride" does not need to be assumed to be derogatory. I had a "free ride" scholarship the first time around that many of my friends envied and I dearly wished I could have completed. But there was a price for me to pay because I did not finish, and none of my friends wanted that part of the deal.
