Ima Nurse.
Job security in spades.
Literally can work anywhere.
Shortage in the career field since it became a career field, and will continue for the foreseeable future.
(search Nurse openings anywhere)
Workin from LPN to BSN ..will double my take home minimum for approx 2yrs of part time college time.
Will be close to 50k this year, into 6 figures in a couple years after I specialize
..who knows, may even go for Nurse Anaesthetist (they start at 70/hr right outta school
Job satisfaction off the scale ..some days are golden.
Even a bad day .. I was there for someone who needed me to be there.
Any able bodied worried about 'what to do' ..
..I recommend Nursing.
Short school times, most bang for the buck.
Don't send resume's out to anywhere unless you want to work there,
..because they *will* call you.
(none of this 'send out 200 resume's and hope for a few calls' bidness)
Don't have to stay anywhere you don't like.
Opportunities abound.
Financially, 401k is tanking (what else is new)
..only have 2 cards, only use 'em for emergencies.
I build the limit up by usin 'em to buy gas now an then
..gotta work the system
Keep makin payments an they keep raising the limit on 'em.
Student loans almost done, and they're not much anyway..
(compared to the 13k for CAD Engineering, only 2k for LPN school,
..a bit more for the BSN program comin up)
Car payment (Vette) is worth every penny of the 250/mo
..hell of a lot of car for the money spent
Pure entertainment to drive
