[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an RN in California, I made over $100K a year with 8 years experience. After COVID I left and went into case management (100% telework) and still make $98000. Becoming a nurse was one of the best decisions I have made….[/quote]

That's great, but as an attorney I make twice that after 3 years and I still work from home 100%. Which one is the better option for the OP? [/quote]

Nursing. Doing the sort of law that lets you make twice that after three years, will ruin a lot of people's lives.[/quote]

So, what's your point? [/quote]

My point is that however much money you made as a baby lawyer, it's a terrible career path for a lot of people. And VERY expensive to get there. Nursing seems like a better choice for many people.

I think what some of the PPs have been trying to say though is that nursing is a terrible choice long term because of the backbreaking work and relatively low pay. As a PP pointed out, $100k in CA ain't much, and that was only after 8 years of changing bedpans, doing the dirty grunt work that doctors don't do, etc. In the long run, a white collar profession is better, whether lawyer, engineer, doctor, etc. [/quote]

A doctor who is too good to help change the occasional bed pan is not a good doctor. [/quote]
