After banning YouTube and other social Web sites on all overseas computers in May, citing bandwidth and security issues, the U.S. military on Tuesday launched TROOP TUBE, an alternative video-sharing Web site for troops, their families, and supporters. Have any of you tried it??? Let us know! We'd love to post your trooptube videos here on TMWC!
In honor of Veteran's Day - and the start of Veteran's Appreciation week - we'd like to take a moment to thank the men and women (and their families) who have served or continue to serve in the armed...
I am going to nursing school for the money I can make after I graduate but honestly it's not my passion. My passion is children and I'd love nothing more than to devote all my time to saving neglected and abused children. The job doesn't pay much...like $10/hour...I am thinking maybe to be a nurse and do social work on the side but I don't know. I want to devote ALL my time to saving children. What matters more: my career benefits and money or my true passion in life?

I'd say your passion! Yeah, it's nice to have lots and lots of money, but you will always be left wondering "what if?". You can always double major in nursing AND social work, so you can change your profession if you decide you want to do something else.
You should definitely do what you feel passionate about. At the end of the day, you will feel satisfied with yourself. I got a BA in Political Science/History but somehow ended up working with at risk kids and I loved it sooo much that I intend to stay in the non profit sector for good. I'd recommend it to anyone who has a passion for helping people. The only downside to it all is when you have to say goodbye to the kids. BTW, the pay wasn't so bad, it was more than $10 an hour. Anyhow, good luck!
Although the money is always nice, you have to work a job that you love. I say follow your passion.
THE PASSION duh! You only live once. You need to make it the life you want!
I don't see why you can't have both. Why don't you work at a children's hospital, or at least in the pediatric ward. That is still working with/saving children.
You need to work with children. If you go into a job just for the money, you're going to end up extremely unhappy.
The PP had a good idea, try to get into the pediatric ward or something like that.
I almost did the exact same thing you are doing. I decided to go with my passion and save children's lives. At the end of the day, even though it wouldn't be much money, I would be satisfied in my heart that I did the right thing. It isn't always about money.
