agreed, if you do nursing you are best off with ER. at least there you will have more procedure type stuff to do. floors hand out pills and generally do the most meaningless bullsh*t imaginable. but of course that's nothing compared to the senior living centers........oh lawd.

finance is limitless. but its saturated and comptetitive.
nursing has a salary cap. not as prestigous. however gauranteed salary and job.
i know many nurses maing 80k a year with amazing benefits.
i'm currently in nursing school. i'm surrounded by tons of women. which is nice...being one of only few guys you stand out as a student and candidate, which is nice."Radiant as the sun, Cool as the moon"

First year associates at firms like goldmansacs, UBS, JPMorgan tyipcally get $90k/year + bonus, but except to work minimum 65 hours/week if you can even get a job there, since you'll be dealing with lots of competition.
I'm doing nursing since I screwed up my grades when I first started college and I go to a tier 3 college. Also whether you have an associates or bachelors you get paid the same. My sister is a RN at a hospital and makes $70k/year working 3x 12hr shifts, they also get a 3% raise per year.
If you can land a job at a IB, you could probably make it through nursing Anesthesiology school and make $150k+/year, so I would say both careers your salary will depend on the amount of work you put in.

what spec? I'll be graduating in 2 years. right now I'm feeling neonatal intensive care.
pick finance if you want a job you can leave at work. Nursing follows you home. Sometimes you will find yourself thinking of your patients. Nursing can be draining and requires a lot of personal care and attention to avoid burnout. like ^he said, you have to WANT to do it otherwise you will burnout fast, be a horrible nurse and hate your job and hate your life.

Yeah I'm hoping of becoming a traveling therapist. I'd work around the area for a year or so to get money lined up and then go but then I hear of therapists who said they always wanted to travel but lost motivation after working for a while so IDK. He's lucky to have a job lined up, in NY its not like that We still make bank though.

lol @ making fun of male nurses. Hospitals really love employing male nurses because they can (generally speaking) handle the heavy lifting more than the women can. And men can bring a unique perspective to the health industry.
But like some one mentioned...nursing has to be in your nature. You gotta love people and have a great deal of care and empathy for them. And some one mentioned that as a nurse, you get stuck as being a nurse. There are LOTS of different branches of nursing lol.

i wasnt really saying its "wrong" .. just saying that there are plenty of jobs out there which pay extremely well, and becoming an RN is definately no easy task (i assume finance is hard also) and im pretty sure i would lose motivation if money is all that kept me going. with that being said, chances are you will not be rich as an RN. above average? yes, you'll never go without and have great benefits, but you'll earn them.
