To obtain a Master's degree...I just don't know what

My Mom told me that lots of times God's will for your life is doing things that cause you to have joy. Isn't that amazing we have a God that wants us to be happy while we serve Him? The problem is, that I like almost everything I try. Sigh. I love serving others, playing with kids, listening to people. Reading about psychology or anatomy are also great. I love trying new things and new foods and exploring. Figuring things out on the computer or being mechanical are a few more as well as teaching and leading activities and performing. So where does God want me and how can I best serve Him? I don't know.

I am considering getting my Master's in health promotion, but I don't like research or statistics very much...well I don't think I do. I mean I know I will get into them, but I like psychology and nutrition better I believe. I want a productive Master's degree...but isn't that what my undergrad was? I am a nurse, but don't really want to be. I didn't like the nursing classes very much and do not associate myself as a nurse. It is not anything I ever wanted to be. In fact, I decided to NOT be a nurse while in high school as I worked as a CNA.

Do I like nursing now? Hmmm.... I like almost every job I do. They all have their positive points. I love being able to serve people and impact their lives and do all I can to make them feel a little bit better...especially emotionally. I love talking with families and reaching out to difficult people. My coworkers are wonderful and I love them. The pay is not bad and the hours are wonderful, but the actually nursing....no...I do not like routine and get nervous when things go wrong...I hate calling doctors and detest ADLS. Charting is not fun and neither is constantly having to turn patients. I don't like the responsibility. However, I like to be busy and I do like to learn, but rarely do I get the opportunity...I am always so busy just trying to keep up.

So now as I get ready for my Master's I think about what I should do and well...I am thinking that becoming a nurse practitioner would be a good move. It's the degree where I would probably learn the most new skills and be the most beneficial. BUT I am not a nurse...I mean...I don't even like nursing!!! And becoming a NP would be even MORE STRESS and responsibility for people’s lives which is the one thing I hate about nursing!!!! I want to do health education. I would love to travel around speaking to people about their health, run seminars and initiate programs for both children and adults both in the states and abroad. I'd like to find problem areas and try to solve them with a team of others. If I ever find a guy, I’d like to work as a team with him helping others. But I know I can’t spread myself too thin.

All I know is I really want to learn French, become more confident in my nursing skills, continue to seek God and start a master’s degree next fall. I just don’t know in what yet. Too bad money is an issue because I think I’d study philosophy, psychology and nutrition.
