As a couple we did it the year after we moved to this area. We were 38/39!
We barely made anything in the Midwest.

Individually, my husband did as a contractor at 41. Now he is close as a permanent hire.
I'm a Fed GS11 at 69.4k
I won't see 100k unless I change jobs.

RNs are typically older than 24, yes?

If so, good on you! Then again, I'm sure you worked a shitload of overtime to hit $100K by 24 as a nurse.


I graduated at 21 as an RN.

You may say you're joking, but it seems like a lot of people are really ignorant and think that teachers stop working as soon as the children leave school for the day. People complain about the education system, but treat it like a joke instead of constructively contributing to improve it. Maybe if we as a society really valued the education of our children and demonstrated that by refraining from unfunny "jokes" about the effort teachers put into it and showed the profession the esteem it deserves we would see 1) higher caliber of college graduates willing to go into teaching and 2)actual public support (both in attitude and finances) towards our public schools. Most of the people on this board are the product of higher education and are taking the time to brag about their accomplishments, but seem to forget that their education helped to land them where they are now.


Do jokes about doctors playing golf all day also bother you? Or jokes about lawyers being assholes? Really, it's a JOKE.


It depends on who you're making fun of. Jokes on lawyers, doctors, politicians, the rich and powerful can be fun. Jokes on the working class, minorities, etc. - not funny.


What about a minority doctor?

Anyway, it's refreshing to see someone own her hypocrisy. Rock on.
