Not sure what you're responding to.

My point is that you can get a BA and go sit at a decently cushy desk job for 60k-80k/year in many parts of the US. Nursing might pay a bit more but at much greater cost to one's health.

Yes, I wasn't comparing nursing to jobs with much lower wages.




One difference is that you don't need a Bachelor's degree for nursing. Associate's degree suffices.


…in limited areas. Most higher paying nursing jobs are requiring bachelors degrees as of about 5 years ago.
