One of the above will allow you to get a good-paying, flexible job while getting a BS (and you won't have to wipe rectums). You will also get experience in the medical field. You should also take all the general courses you can at community college (that TRANSFER--and check to confirm), so you won't have to pay to take these during your BS.
Reply:You should pick a diploma course, that would look best when you transferred to a four year college.
Reply:Go for nursing. Nursing is a very commonly offered major at most four-year institutions and that way you will get continuity in your education rather than picking a field and then not being able to continue with the exact same field at a four-year college. Most of the skills you mentioned you do not need a four-year degree. But you should get a four-year degree if you want better job prospects and more money. Nursing would be your best option.
