In my OPINION, Nursing would be, by far, the better choice between the two. There are more and more nursing jobs that open every day. It is a field that will continue to grow. It is a stereotype that a ton of collegiate athletes are kinesiology majors. In my OPINION those majors are a dime-a-dozen. There are far too few jobs available relative to the number of majors. If you want a lucrative career (in a traditional sense, I suppose you could become a trainer and open a successful gym or a training website, etc.), then you would then have to go to Physical Therapy School after your 4 year undergraduate work in Kinesiology. I would try to figure out what you like before you fully commit, which I know is difficult. It is a process and those are my opinions. I hope I have helped and I hope you hear from someone who was a kinesiology major and knows more than I do.
Hey! I've wanted to be a nurse for like, ever, but I just recently found out about Kinesiology, and it sounded really interesting to me, so I'm thinking of Majoring in Nursing and minoring in Kinesiology. Not sure if that's even possible, you would probably have to look into it more and see if the college your going to has that, and then maybe decide. Please let me know what you pick! Maybe it will help me decide, also!
