Date: March 8th, 2010 4:15 PM Author: Big Cruel-hearted Laser Beams Law students are lazy. They've majored in shit-degrees and have a very skewed view on life. In law school we were always told everyone here is smart.
Umm...that's BS. If you majored in clasics/history/poli and end up with a 3.8 your ass is NOT smart. STFU.
The students who do well are the hardest working. If anything, law school is the great equalizer because you have engineers (who innately work harder) paired with the bs major types. Typically an engineer will win that battle, not becuase he is per-se smarter, but just more responsonsible/efficient/hardworking.

Date: March 8th, 2010 4:03 PM Author: talented deep trump supporter to be fair, a good portion of engineering jobs are 8-5 with the occasional work on weekends or long nights. The OP is right on that. Definitely better than law in that regard, but so are many professions.
You might as well have become a teacher, nurse, or cop. About the same pay + union benefits, but training is exponentially easier |

Date: March 8th, 2010 7:05 PM Author: frisky vivacious space windowlicker start at 50-55k (same as engineers, by the way) after 3 years and establishing themselves in a specialty, they can join a traveling nurse program and earn over $30/hour AND get housing paid for.
and live anywhere in the country GREAT job.
ALSO, only work 3, 12 hour days per week. |
|
Date: March 8th, 2010 7:08 PM Author: sinister mustard dysfunction Nobody bothered to tell you that those 3 12 hour shifts were 8PM to 8AM though, so enjoy spending your days off sleeping and being 12 hours off from anyone with a social life.
Also, have fun being covered in shit, blood, piss, and vomit. I'd rather have shitlaw than shit on me. |
|
Date: March 8th, 2010 7:12 PM Author: frisky vivacious space windowlicker lol. they can be 8am to 8pm as well. You don;t spend your whole career working night shift. You may rotate around a bit... it is not even true that new nurses spend their whole first 3 years working night shifts. Sounds like you actually have no idea what you are talking about... which I suppose is par for course here.
And the many nurses I know have pretty awesome social lives... certainly much better than big law attorneys who work 12 hours 6 days a week. Your days off are awesome.... can even set up 4 day weekend trips.
As for the gross stuff... well, yeah... that is the trade off.
My point is that it is a great career option that should be considered more seriously.
Also, it is probably the BEST option for someone who will ONLY get an undergrad degree.

Date: March 8th, 2010 7:16 PM Author: frisky vivacious space windowlicker Interesting. The nurses I knew in California had a completely different experience.
They could earn 80-90k 3-4 yrs out of school and could live where ever they wanted.
Are you sure you are talking about RNs and not just NPs?
ALL of the nurses I knew worked 3 day work weeks... except for clinic work where it was 5 days, 8 hour days (and no bodily fluids). where did these people work? |
