Some on the other hand are Gold.
Nursing degrees (BSN, APN, even RN etc) and Pharm degrees are Gold, just to name one field area.
Accountants, Lawyers, MBAs are gold too.
I don't know what makes somebody's clock tick to just go for a stooge degree
Gold for whom? I have been in the medical field for over 50 years and I can assure you that the career has gone downhill, not just in pay, but in status.
All the careers you listed have gone from autonomous, respectful positions to just pawns of a greedy, broken, and dangerous system.
Wife is a nurse and I am/was a clinical engineer.
Do you or your wife find what I said untrue?
Not that long ago, back in the 1990s, I paid for a roof replacement and a resurfaced pool with just one month of overtime. Those same jobs, at the same prices would take me over two years.
During that time I was respected by the patient, their family, the community, and the doctors. Today, not only do I have to work harder, work longer, and take a bunch of crap from Admin, patients, families, and doctors, I am punished if I even try to make up for lack of patient care by working overtime, that I do off the clock.
Is it different where you are>
