I dropped out of my LAC and finished my degree with a 2 year nursing program at Cornell. It's not there anymore, but you might check if Columbia still has theirs. Nursing didn't pay as well when I was doing it, but I could get a living wage job anywhere anytime. I mostly worked in psych and my experience in hospitals made me a very attractive candidate for my MA and PhD programs in psych. You can take this degree and these skills in so many directions. A classmate from my PhD program actually did a NP program AFTER the PhD because she found she could practice more independently with that. The country is crying for nurses--a job that can't be outsourced--and even more so for nursing instructors. And I think I apply something I learned in nursing school almost every day.
