For both Op and the poster whose son is choosing nursing as a career, it is great that they are both mature enough to have a career interest and to apply to a school that will educate them for it.  For you parents, please do not forget that for both it could be an initial degree with many other career possibilities.  I am more familiar with the health care field, but a nursing degree itself could lead to one becoming a nurse practitioner with one's own practice in some case (and probably a lot more in the new scenario of medicine.) Some work for a time and then go back for a Physicians Assistant degree or specialized nursing degree.  There also are the business and management side to  health care that a nursing degree/experience might lead to.  I can well imagine that any sort of a business or operations masters degree in the field could lead to all sorts o f possibilities.  It is also possible that in the merchant marines an advanced degree might be paid for.

You are  not going to change the opinion of your parents, but to your snooty friends, you might have a simple and positive statement on either field that it is neat that XX is a wide open field in terms of opportunity, and you are so glad you DS knows what he wants to be doing with his college education.  And encourage both to look at career opportunities.[/quote]
