[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nurses now make more than engineers right out of college.

(some numbers and discussion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Salary/comments/1lew9ni/nurses_now_earn_more_than_engineers_fresh_out_of/)

both 5-yr pay and and mid-career base pay favors engineering by a little, although nurses are working fewer hours. and overtime is available substantial.

discussion leaning pro-engineering here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Salary/comments/1mb5a4a/do_nursing_grads_actually_make_more_than/

Salary tops out around 150-200k for both.

there is speciality engineering where you can make substantially more, but there are also nursing specialities that make substantially more. in both cases, these seem to be less than 10% of population of the engineers/nurses.

nursing AI proof. engineering less so. nursing more family friendly and portable.

Here's my question: why is engineering the dream of every DCUM mom for her "highest stats" boy while nursing is "smart decision" for the b student girl?

Honestly this is a weird comparison.  Why pick "engineering".   There are a lot of other fields more appropriate to compare to nursing.[/quote]

Agreed… there are few nurses that could do engineering and few engineers that would have any interest in being a nurse.
