Education

several pre-mad students that went on to med school. Nurses don't get the respect for their smarts that they should.

In the 70'2 Ms did a groundbreaking study equating 'women's jobs' to 'men's jobs' and the salaries for both. Nursing was compared to engineering and the difference in pay was astounding. At first, I disagreed with the engineering, but the more complex the equipment becomes, the more I see that it is engineering. BYW, I frequently do my own repairs, be it automotive, electrical, etc. When I call in the professional, I can pretty much tell them what the problem is and where it is.

I have known many an engineer, but I have known very few engineers that can teach and communicate as well as Nurses. Comparatively, the pay stinks. Thank God my daughter learned from my choices.

Edited to add: Nursing skills, like teaching skills, is not truly appreciated by this society. Women's skills and talents are the glue that binds society togather.
