talk to your college advisor about your choices.

Wow you are so lucky! I wish I could get a master's degree. Definitely nursing. There is always a job available. Also, social work you will definitely feel underpaid.

Follow your passion. You can always go to nursing in the future. If you have a Bachelors, a nursing degree only takes two years. If you want to be a social worker, then do that.

A MSW will open up far more professional (i.e. higer paying) options than the nursing degree, but the markets for the different fields will be smaller. With both you could go into work with the elderly, handicapped, or disadvantaged, albeit in different capacities. However, the MSW would allow you to look at counseling and therapy options as well, depending on your course of study and internships. Nursing can be rewarding, but is more limited in career growth, and there is definitely more of a trend to be overworked, underpaid, and under appreciated. IMHO in the long run, you might be better served by a MSW, but it really depends on what aspect you end up specializing in. (I'm in grad school myself for Higher Ed, so I guess I'm biased) Good luck!

What ever. Your choice You have a choice of two noble occupations . What ever you feel comfortable with and mainly enjoy and feel you can excel in . I use the word noble because in the field you are treading into is 1 Under paid 2 Under staffed 3 Under funded And most people in England have the same view . Maybe America? Either way tread your path and be the best at what you choose. Hey Maestro the crowd is chanting (EASY EASY EASY EASY Easy easy )

You should get your degree in social work instead of nursing. It will give you more options after you get your degree and there are a ton of different fields within that category. You will be better off with social work over nursing. Good Luck! http://www.adelphi.edu/hauppauge/
