Where to go and what to do??

What to do what to do??
Life is full of choices and I love that.
But sometimes there are too many choices thus making it too hard to pick the one that's right or all the choices seem too similar...
I am looking at majoring in nursing or dental hygiene.
Which to chose though?
Both work in healthcare and work closely with people. and both have an abundant of job opportunities.

In nursing you get to make a difference in peoples' lives and can save them. There is room for advancement and growth in this career as well. There are many different types of nursing one can go into whether it is psychiatric nursing or geriatric nursing.
In nursing, I can become a nurse anesthesiologist.  I don't know if that is the right career for me but I love the idea of moving up.
Plus I don't have to go to graduate school right away for it. I can go work for a couple years and find out if I want to do it.

In dental hygiene, it will just be a four year program and I am done. I can get a masters and teach but I don't think I want to teach. If I wanted to teach I would become an elementary school teacher which I would love but it does not have a very good job rate especially compared to nursing and dental hygiene.
Dental hyigene would be a good job for me but I am afraid I would get bored too easily. I would have to do the same thing every day over and over and I'm afraid I would get tired of the repetition.

I think I am going to try and get a bachelor's in nursing.
Then I can try and become a nurse administrator or become a CRNA.
I'm starting to get excited now.
I feel like I actually have a path I can follow now :)
Plus with nursing I can transfer easily to another college compared to dental hygiene where there are not very many programs.
