[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me see. After earning a Ph.D. and and 20 years into a successful career in government contracting, I can work at Costco during the day which won't pay my bills (including the childcare I will need to work at Costco), get a nursing degree at night, and then be a nurse for half of what I currently make. Sounds great.[/quote]
IDK what you make, but depending on where you live, nurses can make a very respectable income. [b]Instead of looking down your nose at the options people are trying to offer[/b], you may want to seriously consider how you might pivot. Not to trivialize what is happening, because I truly feel for anyone losing their job, but the keystone pipeline was shut down on day 1 of the prior administration and a lot of workers with less education and experience than you lost their job and had to figure out how to feed their family. Meta just walked out almost 4000 people. I think we all need to consider what our plan B is going to be whether we are feds or not.[/quote]

I am not looking down at my nose at nurses. That is your bias coming through. Surely you can understand how someone who spent 5-7 years in a Ph.D. program and 20 years working in that field would be devastated at having their career come to a senseless and cruel end.[/quote]
