[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go to nursing school. There’s a huge demand and it pays well. Enroll tomorrow.[/quote] This. You can earn $150K a few years from now doing shift work 12 x a month.[/quote] She’s fifty. I imagine nursing, especially shift work nursing, it would be hard on her body. [/quote] There are jobs that are easier physically in nursing, like pediatrics. Lighter lifting! But you have to have the temperament for it (and, if working peds in a hospital, a lot of emotional resilience -- you will see some sad stuff). Hospital floor nursing is physically most grueling compared to, say, doctor's office, but it pays better, so there's a tradeoff. Maybe consider being a school nurse or camp nurse. Or my older relative does nursing exams for an insurance company[/quote]
