is going back to school in the phil my best bet for getting on with my life?
ive been living and working here in the states since 1999 and lately ive been feeling that im not getting ahead and feel worried for my future. ive been thinking of going back to the phil to study and although nursing sounds to be the most promising, what set backs and or complications should i expect? im also thinking it might take me some years to finish this. are there any other courses that are in demand here in the states that i can study back in manila? any objective feedbacks are welcome. thanks!

Education has always been a good choice of investment, and learning should be a lifetime commitment. Getting a good education may be tricky though. If you are going to study in the Philippines, choose accredited/prestigious schools. For example: UP, Ateneo or UST. Also depends on the course/vocation you choose so do more research on this. The tuition may be higher but they are far cheaper than any schools in USA. And yes...going back to school also means investing time and can be daunting. You got to go back to having the discipline of studying, researching, taking notes, memorizing, preparing for examinations, etc. You may feel awkward at first with most of your classmates many years younger than you. But I dont think this will be problem at all, I have classmates in college that were older than our professors. Other courses in demand in the states I think are: physical therapists, occupational therapists, accountants, teachers, etc.

This is the first time I heard someone complaining that her or his life is getting no where in the States. Since you told us here your life is not getting ahead or feeling worried for the future. Everybody is feeling worried now a days because of the recession period we are experiencing at the moment globally speaking. You are contemplating on embarking in a study period in the Philippines. Why you didn't graduated yet you work & live in the States? Although nursing course is globally in demand esp. medical profession because I too believe every where in the world people are getting sick, living much longer than they should be and obviously required nursing care. That is were doctors and nurses are in demand world wide. It required most of your time, well if you have time and of course money to go with it then try nursing. It is not what you want or need it is what the world dictates that is why you are embarking to take up nursing. Well in the end I think you will not be happy. Most people I know of tried the profession they think they will be happy. Being paid for what they love to do and do it for the sake of doing it. If you love people then be a sales person or sales representative. If you love to write then be a journalist or something else. Why end up to be a nurse some day? There are other courses in demand. Culinary arts is one of them, end up to be a chef. Why not? Chef are obviously in demand anywhere. Because people eat all the time, and like to taste everything that is good and tasty. Well if I were you I rather end up to be a chef. But as I said I am not like you. We are all different from one another. Different stroke for different folks. It is all up to you whatever you want as long as you feel you will be happy being paid doing it.
