[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are any of you actually teachers (or nurses?). I work as a nurse in DC. I can afford to live in DC because (by luck) I'm married to a high earner. 98% of my coworkers live an hour+ out of the city because that's where they can begin to afford to buy a house (and generally a townhouse). All of my kids' teachers live there as well except for those married to a high income earner. Many of the rest leave the DC area entirely when they hit 30 and want to buy a house, have kids, etc. Look, I'm all in favor of kids following their passion. But I'm torn. I know the reality of making a salary that many (most?) on DCUM [b]openly mock.[/b] I'm honestly torn about what I'll tell my own kids when they're choosing college majors. [/quote] I'm not torn at all. I'm a RN married to a high earner living in NoVa. I have told my kids that nursing is very stressful work lot work for little pay. I don't want them going into nursing.[/quote]
