Just a quick reply because something is boiling on the stove. As far as nursing goes, if it's something you're really interested in, please don't let your age get in the way. My doctor provides training and other opportunities for new graduates and those still in training. They may be qualified, but they're young and have few "real life" experiences. They are very clinical, and their interpersonal skills can be a little immature. I'm sure with the right work environment they will continue to learn (I hope) but I sometimes wish there was someone a little more mature to discuss things with. The younger people need us older ones to act as professional mentors. (although the ones in my workplace simply rebelled and now the situation appears hopeless ). I hope I'm explaining this well without offending anyone. Good luck!

(I'm thinking of a vet tech for my next career which should be in a couple of years )
