I was think of going and getting my bachelors degree to teach early childhood education or elementary education along with special education. Then getting a certification in autism or applied behavior analysis. Then working for a while. If I decide it’s not for me going back to school(maybe work will pay for it) to get my masters in occupational therapy to work with children with disabilites.
OR
Go to this good private community college down the street for my associates degree in nursing sit for my exams and become certified. Then find a job(hopefully working somewhere in pediatrics). And on weekends/evenings(when I don’t work) taking a bridge program RN to BSN once a week to get my bachelors. Work for a year maybe more, find my niche. Then go back to school to be a nurse practitioner specializing in pediatrics or neonatal.
Opinions??

So far I have gotten into;
Umass Amherst-undeclared- I am a resident so it will be 9,500 for tuition before room and board and other cost’s but I did not get into the nursing program which I had applied for and I guess it is near impossible to switch into during your attendance.
University of New Hampshire-going to be about 21,000 tuition before other cost’s. Did not get into the occupational therapy program/nursing but is easier to switch into than umass
West Virginia University-going to be about 17,000 before other cost’s but I received 13,000 for the four years to go there (about 3,250 per year off)- Accepted into a Pre-Occupational Therapy Program that prepares you to enter Occupational Therapy major your sophomore year.
University of Rhode Island- 27,000 a year before costs- Did not get accepted into a program.
Endicott College- 26,000 before costs- all students apply to programs like nursing sophomore year so there is still a chance I get in.
I believe most of my Financial aid is about a little more or less 6,000$ in fed loans and about 6,000 in fed grants.
Still waiting to hear from Ole Miss and University of Arizona. And doubtfully waiting to see if I get into UVM and UCONN off their wait-lists. (Pretty much positive I will not). Also still waiting to hear back from scholarships and local scholarships. I won’t get a ton but I may get a few local ones affiliated with my town and what not for various reasons.
So if you have a little time to read this information over I would be beyond appreciative for your in-put on which college I should choose mainly based on which one I could succeed from under the given cicumstances (programs/money/etc.) but also if you know anything about the actual college socially, academically, culturally etc. Thanks for taking the time to help and I will answer any of you guy’s questions if you’de like. Again thank you I only ask because my parents know nothing about colleges and I know absolutely nothing!
