I (22F) just recently transferred from a community college in my hometown to a large university. I received my A.A. In Health Sciences, and am currently working toward a Bachelor’s degree. Since moving cities, starting to pay rent/bills for the first time, and trying to balance work and school, I have constant doubts about my current plan.
Although I have an A.A., 36 of the credits I earned previously are not transferrable to the new college I'm attending. This makes me a sophomore and means I have more semesters than I anticipated before I graduate. My initial thought process was to load my class schedule; however, now I am realizing how difficult that may be while working full-time. I also did not receive any financial aid from this university and have to pay everything out of pocket.
My question is, would it be a more practical plan to apply for a program at a local community college such as Dental Hygiene or Radiology for example, so that I can have more security in the workforce sooner? I have been highly considering this option because I'm worried that without graduate school, my bachelor's will not necessarily open doors for immediate employment. It seems like I’ll have to enter a technical school/program after anyways. What concerns me about this is feeling like I failed and feeling embarrassed to disappoint my family by essentially “dropping out” of my current school to do something else.
Apologize for the somewhat long post, but these thoughts weigh on me all the time, and any input would be highly appreciated.
