I am confused between taking up Nursing or BS Psychology. Which one has better opportunities?

How about joining the Army Reserves to be a Nurse. They need them. Then your civilian job can be the Psychology thing.

Take nursing. They are in dire need of nurses around the country (and maybe you could help pay off you bills from school if you sign early with a hospital). The Federal government may also want to help you pay off some of your tuition. Remember: you can always minor in Psychology and try to get a job in a psych ward or something. Good luck.

Depends...how much do you want a job after college? Even if you enter the nursing school at your college, you can still study psychology. Plus, nursing school only takes a couple of years, and you can still go back to college and earn other degrees and certifications that can open up new and greater possibilities. Besides, Psych is such a dime a dozen degree.

Nursing. It will give you more "hands on" medical experience which can be directly applied to your dental career. And nurses can work "prn" meaning basically they can pick their own hours, which might be helpful to you during dental school.

if you are only getting an undergrad degree so that you can get a decent job while you go to dental school i say nursing. you will definitely be able to get a job and the hours would be flexible for dental school. you aren't going to be able to do anything with a BS in psych, i don't think you can even work for the county with out a masters. also the info you learn in nursing school would be much more helpful in dental school than the psych stuff. for your app just pick one, everyone changes their major in college anyway. just make sure the program you choose for your app is not impacted. if it is a hard program to get into that could screw up your acceptance to the college

follow your heart

RN'swith a bachelor's degree start out at about $40-$45 thousand dollars. People with only a bachelor's degree in psychology are a dime a dozen, looking for employment as research assistants, which if you are lucky will net you $25,000.You decide.

I am studying in social sciences right now, and they keep telling us its gonna be hard to get a decent job without a masters or PhD like you said. Nursing is a good choice because less and less people go into that field, so the need for nurses will grow bigger every year. But, don't take a job just for the money. Like the person before me said, follow your heart. If you prefer Psychology, take that. You won't regret it.

You need at least a bachelors in everything do to anything. To be a psychologist you need a PhD. Nursing is rewarding because you help people. The schooling is less tha Psychology too. Follow your heart regardless of money or time.
