[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you marry a nurse you are condemning yourself to a life of poverty. Same with teacher or cop. I wouldnt consider any of these jobs to be professional- basically they are high level babysitting jobs. Two college-educated married adults with professional jobs easily make$350k. [/quote]

And the statistics prove it:

Median weekly earnings in 2017
Doctorate - $1743/week or $90,636/year
Professional degree - $1836/week or $95,472/year
Masters - $1401/wk or $72,852/year
Bachelors - $1173/wk or 60.996/year
Associate - $836/wk or $43,472/year
High school - $712/wk or $37,024/year
Less than high school - $520/wk or $27,040/year

And.... the average salary of a registered nurse in DC is $92,000. https://nightingale.edu/blog/nurse-salary-by-state/

But you go ahead and conclude that it’s not a professional job. Your whole “high level babysitting” comment makes you sound more like a snide adolescent than a professional yourself.[/quote]
