Hi guys, I’m going to be a freshman in college this upcoming fall. I’m filipino and a girl.. I dunno if you guys know the stereotype of how filipina girls are nurses and such, it’s somewhat true, because ALL of my aunts are nurses, besides my mom. She wanted to wear a business suit and work in a cubicle. 😛 My mom has stressed all my life how I will be set with money + having a job when I get out of school. She has told me all these things about nursing that just made me feel so set.. So I grew up wanting to be a nurse. I took a health sciences course, and it was alright. It was nice to wear the lab coat and go see surgeries and shadow doctors and such, but…
lately I’ve been having some sort of doubt when I think of nursing. Although I would be making good money, have no trouble finding a job, I don’t know if this is really what I want to be. I’m just SUPER confused about what to do, because I don’t know if a job is really something you’re supposed to like, that’s what it seems. My mom says how ‘it’s just a dream job’, nursing is what will keep you living well.
Baking is a hobby of mine, and it relaxes me, and I feel so free when I bake. My niches are being creative, and drawing. I don’t like saying it, but I have always been the ‘good drawer’ in class, and I don’t know how to explain it, I know I have great potential to be a baker… This is what I made for a cake walk. I only used those $1 cake mixes, but I tried to make them pretty:

I made 10 cakes in 12 hours..

I’ve never had a baking class or even really an art class… Agh, this is sort of just a rant, but I honestly don’t know what to do…

Nursing.. But I Want To Own A Bakery =(?
Posted on August 29, 2010.
Well, I have to say that your cakes look scrumptious (even if they were made from a mix). The decoration is absolutely beautiful. But going into business as a baker probably isn’t going to bring in too much money. Perhaps go to work as a cake decorator at a supermarket. It’s hard to turn ‘hobbies’ into a career.
I personally play acoustic guitar rather well, and I’m not bragging about that either, same as you. But it’s a hobby. It relaxes me and I enjoy it and I feel free. But it will never pay the bills.
I went into the accounting field to earn money. Some find it to be a boring subject, but I and others don’t. I actually love it. Not only does it pay the bills, but there is extra money left over.

In the end, it really is YOUR decision. Just keep thinking about it for a while. I DO want you to choose your own path rather than take a path that someone else is nudging you towards.
Best wishes from Seattle 🙂
