Honestly nursing isn't a bad idea. It has a need, often flexible jobs and hours (some of my friends pick up whatever shifts they want) you can work your way up slowly so as to not accrue a lot of debt. Get one of the lower certificates and work while you go for an rn then work as an rn while you go towards a np if you want, they make six figures usually. It's nice because you can basically work in the field while you get your education and keep debt low. I've had a few friends that really planned and thought it out and they came out really well.
