Nursing is a great and noble profession and will probably always be in
demand so an RN should always have job opportunities. Effort vs. reward
is the issue to be considered. In this state a nurse needs a minimum of a
BS degree and many have advanced degrees. My wife is a nurse and she
has a masters in nursing management. Until she got masters she worked
swing shifts, always worked more then eight hours and always complained
about lack of respect and poor pay. The masters got her out of the swing
shifts, that's all.
Here is the problem with service positions (such as nursing, teachers,
police, etc.). They don't bring in revenue and are therefore considered a
necessary evil by management. In the medical profession doctors are
highly paid (they bring in patients/revenue) and nurses are poorly paid, in
comparison, because they are a financial liability to the medical industry
(make no mistake, medicine is an industry, not a service).
Anyone(regardless of education level) who is in an industry that is in
trouble today would do him/herself well to learn to sell (not Amway or any
of those pyramid schemes). Professional (or corporate) sales can be very
lucrative and provide for a family very well. The short story is this. If
your work bring revenue to your company you will be rewarded
appropriately. The more revenue you bring in the better you will be
rewarded.
Of course!! All of this is contrary to everything Hillary and Obama will tell
you.
