I'm debating whether or not to go into Nursing or Teaching in University. Nursing I know will pay well and I will have a job immediately. Teaching is something I know I'd be great at but I'm worried I may not get a good job. What do you think?

Do both. There is a severe shortage of nursing professors right now.

The old days are gone where neither paid well. Nursing pays big money. Teaching pays a lot more than it did. You won't have to worry about money, teaching pays less than nursing, but enough for a good middle class income. It is true that you may have to take a job in a rough part of town or a rural area, but after some experience you will have more options. Do whichever one you like best. Good luck!

can't believe nobody answered this. you are right. Nursing opens you to a field of anything in any area from children to OB to surgery. Teaching sort of limits you. Nursing will easily get you a job..education is tough today unless you are in an area like special education. you have to decide what interest you the most. Nursing is tough and the courses are very tough but it's very rewarding. with nursing, you can turn down a lower paying job for a higher one. with teaching you may have to accept the first opening. decide if you are more interested in studying the body, mind and healing or working full time with children. Nobody can really tell you what you would be better at..as far as job opportunities, nursing will be better but only you know you.
