Well OP might be like me and the idea of being a nurse just doesn’t appeal. I couldn’t do it for any amount of $$. It’s a great career for the right person. And there is nothing better when you are in the hospital than a good nurse.
But there are sooo many other jobs in the medical field and many pay quite well. No need to decide now. In fact, nursing is one thing that you can use in many fields but is more limited in that you are then a nurse as opposed to a general STEM degree with a masters (once you know what you want). For kids who don’t know what they want might start with a general approach then narrow as they develop interests.
One of my kids wants to go into medicine. I often talk about the sacrifices. But I think there are lots of other venues.
