Should I feel beat down that I didn't get into a healthcare field?

[Anonymous]

I didn't have the educational qualifications because I was in special Ed all throughout my schooling since elementary school. I was never given math or science subjects because i was told its too hard for me to learn it and im slow. Now that I look back I feel very disappointed & down and wish I could've gotten into nursing or vet assistant or psychology.

I was told I have a "learning disability "

But yet I see so many people get into it, so many people who are nurses. Does that mean for the majority of people it's easy to excel & be good at math and science?

I can understand why you may feel disappointed and down about not having had the opportunity to study math, science, and other subjects that may have helped you pursue your desired career path. However, I want to encourage you to focus on the present and the future, rather than dwelling on the past.

It is never too late to pursue your dreams and aspirations, and there are often alternative paths to achieving your goals. For example, there may be vocational or community college programs that can provide you with the necessary training and education to pursue a career in nursing, vet assistant, or psychology.

It may also be helpful to speak with a career counselor or advisor who can provide guidance and support in exploring different career options and identifying the steps you need to take to achieve your goals.

Remember that your past experiences do not define your future, and with perseverance, hard work, and determination, you can overcome any obstacles and achieve your dreams.

If it wasn't meant to be, don't fight it. Nursing is a good career if you want a stable job with financial stability, but healthcare is a field that will wear you down fast.
I've been in it for the last 8 years and if I had to do this for the test of my life, I'd probably just kill myself.

If you're dead set on healthcare, you could look into CNA or technician positions to get your foot in the door. Some of those gigs pay pretty well and you don't need a degree, just a license. Which is relatively easy to obtain
