    You are still making some very big assumptions on how easy it is to drop a career and swap to a new one. Do people do it? Yes they do, but it’s not easy.

    Once you have things like a family, car payment, mortgage, etc. It can be really hard to restart.

    Also being a registered nurse takes 4 years plus certifications. Being a teacher varies wildly state to state.

    You are definitely approaching this from a mindset of being either just in college or early/no career and having low liabilities/commitments in life. Which if that’s where you are I encourage people in that stage of to seek out something rewarding. It only gets harder the longer you wait in life and the more you develop the career you are in.

        Once again being an RN is a 4 year degree. Are you thinking of LPN? Internships are usually the last year of the program.

            Nursing school is incredibly difficult both to get into and to complete. There may be a lot of nursing jobs available in your area for this very reason.

                It doesn’t matter how willing you are. Nursing schools do not accept just any willing person. When it comes to actually doing the job… it takes a whole lot more than just being willing. The average person CANNOT be a nurse. It’s just a very tone deaf and unrealistic thing to suggest.

                It’s easy to complain about how hard something is and only a little less easy to make a change.

                Intelligence and emotional ability are not the result of willpower. It’s actually more comparable to being athletic or physically strong. Sure, most people can improve their physical health, but there is a threshold for how strong you’re capable of becoming, determined by genetics and lifestyle. Intelligence and emotional capacity are the same. It’s sort of like you showed open positions for being a bodybuilder or an MMA fighter and then said “see? there are plenty of jobs.” This makes no real-world sense.

                    Then find entry level fast food jobs and use those as an example. Still really difficult to get those jobs, but it would at least make a small amount of sense.

            Why are you fishing for a further argument on a day’s old post? That’s kinda weird dude.

            You already responded to this comment yesterday. Forget to switch the the alt?
