So I'm doing shit at adulthood. Parents have been pushing me to be a Nurse cause good money basically and while I don't really have a drive to be a nurse, I've been going for it anyway. Tried looking into other career paths, but parents basically push those off as Nursing makes a lot of money and they say I can just do it for a bit, save up, THEN go for what I want to do. They basically make it sound like any other job would leave me living in a box unless I make $30+/hr. Well...Fucked up some semesters and classes. Taking Chem and Math for the 3rd time by now. Basically fucking it up because I'm stupid.
I'm still doing prerequisites for Nursing as a sophomore and am looking at 2 more years once in the Nursing Program. Assuming I get in. Parents are saying how I'm already "late" with more years added till I'm a nurse. I'm 22, still live at home, no real savings or anything. Basically wasting life at this point. Would end it all by now if I wasn't so afraid of death. What do?
Well, what would you like to do?

No idea. I'm good with computers and electronics, so I kinda figured I'd like to learn more about it. Maybe IT or something, but again. Parents basically said it was a waste of time.
Computers and games are my loves and it would have been nice to get into something that was related to those.

Forget the parents and what they tell you. You already wasted time, when they pushed you into a degree you don't want.
If you are interested in IT then try to educate yourself in your free time. Not only about the work, but potential courses at your university and how to switch majors.
Just don't go into this field because of video games and wanting to become a game developer.

I would...but they pay the bills. I've been helping out a bit more now with a part time job, but they basically pay everything.
Game developing was always interesting, but not really a focus of mine anyway. I do know a ton of people in the IT field and I can look more into it.
