[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an in-law who is a nurse and makes $200k a year working 2 days a week, without the student loan debt and insurance that a doctor needs. Anyone who looks down on that is an idiot. [/quote]

What kind of job does s/he have? That sounds very unusual. [/quote]

I suspect that they left out some major details or simply inflated the numbers. I know many nurses and not one would come close to 200k @ 2 days /week. [/quote]

PP here. She is in anesthesia. Works 2, 24-hour shifts per week.

I also knew a cardiac nurse who made $200k. I believe she had a PhD.

My point isn't that all nurses make that salary, it's that they have the potential to. Many doctors (pediatricians, family practitioners, psychiatrists) make less than $200k so being an MD doesn't necessarily mean you have a higher salary. [/quote]

Well, sure. You are citing people at the very top end of the pay scale for their profession. There are undoubtedly some teachers that make more than some nurses, but there aren't many of those positions, comparatively. Just as there aren't comparatively many positions for nurses at the payscale you cited -- if you are going into nursing, it would be a bad idea to count on that check. it wouldn't be a bad idea to plan on it goign into medicine.[/quote]
