New Student - associate or bachelor degree?
Hi there! I graduated high school in April and decided to go into nursing (a natural choice after spending the past 3 years in sports medicine/athletic training and not wanting to pursue that as a career, but also not wanting to give it up altogether) My original plan was to core complete (48 credit hours) at the community college here, and then transfer to UTA and finish my bachelors degree there..

Now that I have actually started school I have come to the conclusion that I really don't want to go to school for 4-5 years for my bachelor's degree (I am also working full time at the moment)

In ya'lls opinion (and I have read Shouldn't a nurse with a bachelor's degree make more money?) , should I get an associates or just tough it out and get my bachelors? My mom is yelling at me to get a BSN, but I hated high school, and I am not enjoying college so far, I think I would rather just get my associates and be done with it for now, and if I really want to later on, then get my bachelor's.

Help! I need to make my decision soon, because next semester I will either need to finish my pre req's for my associates that I can get at the school I am going to, or I am going to have to continue my core complete!

Thanks, I hope my post made some sort of sense!
