Career in IT vs Nursing

Here is my situation. I am an American citizen, Nepali born who is confused in what career to choose. I am in college right now and am in the point to choose a career path.
I enjoy the idea of being a Nurse and helping people. And nurses do make decent money to make a comfortable living as far as i understand. I understand that work can be physically and mentally frustrating but what good job does not right?
I also like the IT field and enjoy technology. I honestly think i will be successful if i choose this as my career too. Most of my friends are in the IT field. Most of them joined consultancy and like many others had to deal with things like fake resumes, getting fired after a few months on the first few job, moving different states for jobs, but eventually landing in a job permanently. The money is definitely better than in Nursing.
I am looking for suggestions on people who have had experiences in either of these fields. I know the decision is mine to take. Thanks
Jay Nepal
