Now we talking, Nursing degree is the most underated degree in the fucken country. I know Nurses who pull easily 100 K with fucken douche bag 2 years community college degree crap. In fact, I have seen on the paper a couple of years ago a philipina nurse from Cook county hospital made 350 K one year, hotdammit, that shit is crazy,,,, not to sterotype but them philipina be working over time and half like a mofo and their fucken nursing degree cost them a buck and half in Manilla, lol.

America, land of the great!

 

Yeah thats my major..... There are alot of shortcuts you can use to get the same result. I would like to become a professional actor someday, but if that doesnt take off the way I want it to, then I would like to become a CRNA. I would make no less than $80,000 (on average most starting CRNA's make $110,000 and more). CRNA's, are kinda taking over the whole anesthesiology market, I wouldnt be surprised if anesthesiologist become somewhat obsolete within the next couple decades .

 

I agree. One doesn't really major in anything as pre-anything. But one can major in pretty much any science degree that included some biology courses along the way, that person qualifies to apply for med school granted he/she has at least the minimum CGPA. If all fails the science degree is there.

 

If your long term is to be some sort of an actor, I recommend you attend cheap CC schools like Malcom X college or Triton College or some 2 year college for the training. Then work as a nurse and get paid and pursue your dream while stockin' a stash. If acting fails, you can always go back get additional training to be CRNA, and that field has to do more with politics and your experience than your paper acheivements anyway.

My .02 cents.

 

All these college talks make me wanna go back get a degree in basket weaving, attend lots of big ten foot ball games, slouch around at sorority house and try to bang as many spoiled prep drunk bubble head white chicks, lol.

 

I wish I had taken advantage of that shit kid.

 

Lol that was actually my plan.... Im going to Joliet Junior College right now.... My goal is to, go ahead and knock this RN shit out the way, then get a job and save up for 3 years. After I do that, I would like to move out to New York to pursue my acting career. I feel like acting will always be a goal of mine, but until that goal materializes I would like to have a career that I know will always be needed and that I actually enjoy. People dont even know how much paper you can make as a nurse (I wouldnt advise anybody to get a job solely for money, Im just saying, if people knew how much a nurse makes out here in the upper end Chicago suburbs they would shit themselves). As a nurse I can easily make $70 k and up if I work some overtime into my schedule. Most nurses start out making around $25 to $27 out here (which comes out to around the mid $40,000s).

I dont have any kids, so I would glady pursue getting in as much overtime as possible.

 

Well not quite but almost as bad.

I live next to a nature reserve and if we all knew our barriers (directed towards Badgers) we'd be fine.

Anyway, a little while ago quite late at night, I went outside to my car to grab my phone which i thought i'd left in there.
Anyway long story short, a Badger comes walking through the alley which leads on to the reserve and im stuck inside the car waiting for ten minutes (it took its sweet time) obviously I wasn't getting out A( due to a badgers large teeth. B( because I haven't a desire to contract TB.

Now this badger, lets call him Badger Mallone is hanging out alot off the reserve, I caught him round the side of my house while I was putting the rubbish out the other night, scared the shit out of me.

I'm now scared to go outside at night,
just in case this badger is waiting in the shadows with a flick knife like a character in "sometimes they come back"

 

Arts degrees don't have as much pull as a science degree, but the universities won't tell u that

they just want your money

 

And thats exactly why I refrained from getting a degree in Theatre.

 

I blame the high schools big time. Our entire lives all we here is go to college and they're and you'll get a good job. No mention of practicality just follow your dreams and the oney will come. I want someone to show me how much sociology majors made last year in comparison to Engineers. We're raising dummies in this country and it needs to stop. All liberal arts classes should be electives not degree programs.

 

I blame my mother for shipping my ass to college.

 

She was lied too as well. What a fucking scam

 

You are so right Sir Nose.......

 

Damn leave the poor woman alone, she worked the up town and down town streets to bring a fine degenrate loser like me to the world.

 

dunno about scam, but i think too many people felt that going to college, was an instant right-of-passage into the 40-60k/year (entry-level) world. You'd have to be naive if you thought you were guaranteed a job after college. I remember guys that graduated before me, still hitting the campus weight room talking about how they still didn't have a job months later.

It's a sad reality, but that's the way it is. College will be the new high school eventually (mind you, 60/70-something years ago, just graduating from HS was revered), with a 4-year degree being the equivalent to a HS diploma (and a HS diploma being the equivalent to...dogshit), as far as marketability.

Too much saturation and not enough jobs to go around.

 

It already is.

You nailed it.

 

Only people with college degrees are qualified to judge the relative merits of having one vis-à-vis not having one.

The current employment picture is a side effect of the supply-side economic policies that America adopted during the Reagan era. If a person with a college degree is experiencing difficultly securing gainful employment today, that will likely be mitigated in the future.

Why?

Because a college degree already mitigates against unemployment, but it should also be noted that the rate of joblessness for black college graduates is two times higher (8%) than it is for their white counterparts (4.3%).

 

Like LA said it already has, but to be more specific I feel like its more or so based on what kind of degree you have. Bachelor degrees have become more like high school diplomas, nowadays it seems like you need a masters etc to get ahead and even then that might not mean shit.

 

back in 04', all you needed was a 2-year RN license to work virtually anywhere in Philly as a nurse. NOW, with the passing of Magnet status with hospitals (for excellence in patient care and staff retaining, among other qualifiers), some are doing away with accepting new applicants holding A.S.N degrees, and are just focusing on hiring B.S.Ns. And if you do get hired with an associates, you're given a few years to attain a bachelors before getting the can in some facilities.

The bar keeps getting higher and higher, blud.
