I would not change degrees for three reasons. One reason is pay. As a nurse your starting pay after graduation and throughout your career will be much higher than a social worker. Second reason is the job market is flooded with social work graduates and many social work jobs are tied into government funding. Third reason, due to funding issues this means many departments are stretched and many social workers have large cases loads which leads to allot of occupation stress. When you compare lower wage, with inherent job stress, and high competition for each job I believe your parents are right that changing majors to social work does not make sense. My feeling as a nurse you will be doing many similar things as you would as a social worker and because of your interest in helping others I believe you will make you a spectacular nurse.
