Bethievt, that's a very important point. When I got out of college with a BA in English, my nursing friends (lots of them, heavily encouraged to become nurses in our Catholic school world) made at least double my salary. Granted, the pay still did not match what the engineers made at the time. But they could also earn overtime$, which was unheard of in the business world. In general, the nurses gained independence very quickly, and their in-demand job allowed many of my friends to move around the country & have great experiences. It's a field that has absolutely no geographical limitations, no regional pockets where an industry is concentrated, like silicon valley or NJ Big Pharma. Quite limitless, actually. Virtually recession-proof, too.
