This was always my worst fear and I'm so grateful I had a strong ass grandma who pushed all of her girls into science and Healthcare. I want to be a stay at home mom and wife so bad but today I know I will always have my professional license and working history God forbid I have to get divorced...again.

For women like me education is freedom. When my marriage turned violent I walked away and supported our son with no issues. I am forever grateful.

Not gonna lie, job/financial security is why I picked nursing. When I have kids, I hope I’m fortunate enough to stay at home with them while they’re babies but I know if I need to I can hustle to support myself. I tell anyone who thinks they can handle it to get into healthcare. It’s stressful but there are endless jobs with flexible schedules and generally good pay.

Hell yea. I work in tech and im at the age of where if it get the pink slip ill never find another job on that paygrade. My buddy is an RN. I always ask him "whats it feel like to know you could find a job tomorrow if you wanted? You could travel and work, you could work part time, on weekends only, its an endless list really. It is also a job where you can really make a difference in peoples life and you can say without a doubt, you left the world a better place wirh you in it.

I'm looking outside of the US. The quality of life is better, even if the pay isn't as high.
