Job hopping, Career hopping

Yes, the title says it all. I have a short history of job and career hopping. Not that I've ever held many positions, but it's more idealistic. My jobs have ranged from waitress, barista, and office receptionists to an admin clerk at the U.S Census Bureau and a product development assistant at a company that produces mainly NIKE clothes. All of these jobs have no direct relation to any future or career goals that I've ever dreamed. Career goals have mainly been in the medical field plus advertising and product packaging. I'm quite practical but also day dream a lot. I chose the medical field because of practicality. I desire the art field because it just seems so fun and interesting. I really should've gone into journalism or something but my poor social studies and english grades in high school really steered me away from anything that has to do with writing. Not to mention, I'm quite shy and can not speak publicly without stammering and turning red. I'm just a modest person who's not comfortable standing in the limelight, even when I excel.

Here's the deal: I am starting nursing school at the end of August at Pasadena City College. It's a two year program and I'll get my ADN and sit for the RN license. Funny thing is, I have two Bachelors and I am turning 25 in a few weeks. I guess age is not that big of a deal today, but to me it is. I can only hope this is something I can stick with. I guess I'm doing this also because I was accepted? My most recent goal was to apply to OT grad school for next Fall. Well, I've taken my GRE but haven't done much volunteering. I applied to the RN program early this year just to see if I'd get in and as a back-up.

So, do I use this back-up and forget about OT all at once? Maybe after ADN, I'll hop back into OT. OT was a really recent decision too. Last year, I was still going on about optometry school and sociology grad school. Somethings just seem too far-fetched. I guess, taking it one step at a time is probably a better idea than standing still.
