Any one who goes to college will have a loan debt to pay unless you are rich and can pay for it in full or get financial aid. no matter what your major is.
I'm not bashing nurses. I'm just saying how this nursing shortage and nursing being recession proof crap has gone on long enough. People need to realize that with Obamacare and this economic climate, healthcare is going to downsize.
I have known two graduating classes where the only people gainfully employed as RN to have gotten a job either out of state or as ER / LTC facilities.
Don't mind the poster. I doubt they have ever so much as taken a nursing course. You're going to run into that a LOT in nursing. People are in denial and get angry because they rather remain brainwashed and ignorant.
I was not referring to you giga. I am referring to the people who have never held a real job as a nurse but have tons of complaints about a job they never had.
btw drop it with the LPN deal, when you know that an LPN has a much tougher time getting a job than an RN does.
All of the education factories are churning out too many people with worthless degrees and dumping them into the job market with little hope of ever getting into their field and endless debt.This goes for law schools and MBA's too.There have been countless articles about this over the last few years.Many recent MBA grads who had dreams of immediate 125,000 jobs may never see a 125,000 job in their life.Many people with recent law degrees who thought they would immediately get hired at 60,000 or 80,000 as a law clerk are starting out at 35 or 40 if they are lucky.Almost EVERYTHING is being outsourced including the grunt work of the legal profession and the reading of medical tests,etc.Don't you know that when you get a scan or a test done at many hospitals in the US,the images are faxed to and read by doctors in India?
The world has changed irreversibly in the last few years.The safest and highest paying jobs right now are jobs where people work with their hands or where the work must be performed on site.If I were in high school right now I'd seriously think about becoming a plumber or an electrician.And this is coming from someone who has 2 masters degrees from Columbia !
Right now, they are the only industry that's not in a recession.
In fact, I think schools are doing VERY well. My uncle is a higher ed administrator and said their Adult Education programs are getting getting record amount of people taking courses.
Social work and education.I was a social worker first,then decided I wanted to become a teacher so I went and got another degree.The two actually work very well together.... especially in NYC.
My sister is a social worker MSW
She has a big debt loan and only makes 50,000 a year with a masters degree
