Wondering whether to go to nursing school

I'm worried about a lot of things right now.
Among them, I'm worried about my career path.

I'm currently working as an accountant. It's been about six months since I changed jobs.
To be honest, accounting work isn't rewarding. There are difficult times when I don't interact with many people due to the same repetition every day.
I think I'm very blessed to have a job in this day and age. I was hired as a full-time employee and it is very stable, but I'm wondering if it's okay to leave it like this.

When I was in high school, I was very lost in my career path, and there was a time when I was very worried about being a nurse or nursery teacher at a liberal arts university.
As a matter of feeling, I was interested in childcare and nursing, but I thought it was impossible for me, and I was too embarrassed to tell my parents, so I went on to a liberal arts university.
After that, I got a job as an accountant, and although I was very blessed with relationships, I was wondering if it was okay to leave it like this.
I was also interested in nursing at that time, but I felt that it was impossible for me, and I obtained another qualification as a nursery teacher that I was interested in by myself while working.
After that, I was hired as a full-time employee at the nursery school because I had taken the trouble to obtain qualifications, but the job didn't suit me at all, and I retired after only one year.
I got a job in accounting again and have continued to the present.
While I still have feelings for nursing, I recently had a meal with my best friend.
There, I was told that my best friend was studying well for the nursing school entrance exam.
For some reason, my heart fluttered when I heard that, and I felt like I couldn't say anything.
What I'm worried about
First, it's been six months since I changed jobs. The people around me have treated me so well, so it's heartbreaking.
And even though my parents were very happy when I got accepted as a nursery teacher, they betrayed it again (I didn't talk to my parents about nursing)
And now that I'm 30 years old, I'll be around 34 when I graduate from nursing school.
I love children, and I have a feeling that I want to get married soon and have children. I'm currently single, but I want to get married and have children. Pregnancy from age 34, honestly I'm worried about whether I'll be able to get pregnant...

When that happens, I'm really worried about whether it's better to get married, raise children, and settle down before taking the nursing school exam.
I was exhausted from worrying so much.
The reason I want to be a nurse is because I want to be useful to others.

However, I lost my confidence because the nursery teacher was bad, and I also have a feeling that it would be great if the nurses were no good either...

Which path is better?
Thank you for taking the time to read it.

Let's do our current work carefully

Hitomi

First, they say they want to do work that is useful to others.
Any job is useful to others. There is little interaction with people.
There must have been contact with the nursery school that was said to be a bad match.
Even if you become a nurse, you might quit if you don't get along again.

I heard that only half a year has passed. There are times when you can see the joy of work after a few years. Any job is hard. If you want stimulation, why not come into contact with people in private? Work isn't just about life. Please make the way of life itself satisfying.

The ambition to “be useful” is admirable, but let's broaden our horizons even further

Hello, Hitomi. My name is Toshihide Yoshida.

I am in a liberal arts department, am self-taught, qualified as a nursery teacher, and got a job. I retired because my job didn't suit me, but I'm working as an accountant at my current company. It seems that there was a time in the Showa era when the phrase “I left college” became a buzzword, but no matter what era there were people who succeeded in getting a job, and there were also people who failed to get a job. In that sense, Hitomi was evaluated as a competent human resource, and if you look at employment from the sidelines, I think she has obtained blessed results. However, the result was that “the job didn't suit me at all and I retired after only 1 year,” and it seems that the current “accounting” job isn't very appealing.

I want to be useful to people, and I want to do work where people have passed their roles.” I think it's a very good thing to think about it. So why a “nurse”? I think that childcare and accounting, which I have already experienced, are “jobs that are useful to people.” Being a nurse is a great job, and I think it's a job that is useful to people. However, “nurses are not the only jobs that are useful to people.” The job you've been dreaming of or longing for isn't necessarily the right job for you.

The other day, when I was reading Uchida Tatsuki's blog, there was an article called “On work ability.”

Marriage and employment are, in a sense, the same as “dentures.” People who remain themselves unchanged at all, and are looking forward to meeting the “ideal spouse” or “ideal occupation” that suits them perfectly will probably not be able to meet the “perfect fit” forever.

Excuse me, but I think Hitomi fits the sentence above now. Every job is a repetition of the same thing. Accounting jobs aren't the only thing that happens over and over again. Please broaden your horizons a little more and take a fresh look at work.

The turning point is not coming

Hello, Hitomi.

If Hitomi thinks “now is the turning point” when thinking about changing jobs, then changing jobs may also be an opportunity to drastically change your life.

However, it is said that they changed jobs six months ago.
Honestly, I haven't decided on my career path yet.

It seems that they are also considering age, but if there is a job you really want to do, you should be able to overcome age issues.

If you really want to do it, try it.

However, now it's a dead word, but no matter what you do, it's important to try it “prepared to bury your bones.”

I'm not prepared for that, so I look blue at the lawn next door while giving reasons that it's not like that.

It's decorated with the beautiful phrase “work that benefits people,” but what you need is “work that benefits you.”

It's a tough way of saying it,

If you say “I might quit,” it's probably the same no matter what you do.

Why don't you take a closer look at yourself while continuing your current job a little longer?

Why don't you try it out?

When you think about marriage and childbirth, and the possibility that things won't go the way you thought like a nursery teacher, you can't take risks like when you were young. However, from Hitomi's text, I felt that if I didn't take on the challenge of becoming a nurse, I would definitely regret it.

Coming from home, I left my job at age 30 and became a monk, and that was because of the temple where the saucer is now located. It was a job change with almost no risk, so I can't compare it to Hitomi, but compared to the monks around me, it started quite late. What's more, I jumped into a world I didn't know at all, but now I'm glad I took on the challenge as a result.

I thought challenges were the only way to calm Hitomi's cranky mind.

There is no “see you again.” Nothing is the same.

My name is Tange, and I've been cleaning up the garden all this time.
Leaves yesterday, leaves today, leaves tomorrow too. Even now, only lotus leaves are leaves.
When work seems boring, try devising ways to find fun.
Recently, I've been obsessed with how to do things smartly, and I'm in a state where I just clean up so easily (laughs)
I used to sweep the garden for over an hour.
Being able to do simple things without thinking and without thinking is what creates the best work brain.
Today's accounting, yesterday's accounting, tomorrow's accounting.
However, today's accounting is not yesterday's or tomorrow's.
Since I look through my own thoughts, thoughts of “see you again” and “I'm already sick of it” come up, and I'm carried away by those thoughts.
I sometimes get similar questions from people, and I always answer them with a fresh feeling. There are many unavoidable answers, but I've always met them there, every time.
Occasionally, the entered data often disappeared in the middle of typing, but even so, the next time, they gave a different answer. Life is probably always there and that is clear, so in reality, there is no repetition. Life becomes boring because it makes you think it's repetitive and that it's the same again.
How many times do you read the same sutras when you work in the morning at a temple.
Just like washing your face every day and brushing your teeth every day, let's have a brand new encounter brain and once-in-a-lifetime mindset.
Well, don't worry, this answer is clear only at this time, at this point.
if that's really bad.
