That's not a bad gig you got TJ! It sounds crazy but nursing is legit if u go back! 3 day work week, good pay, good vacation, and most importantly guaranteed 4 days a week to hunt minimum lol
Jeff, You sound like a very rational-thinking young man with a dream. I graduated from high school in 1964 and started college in 1985. It took me 10 years of full-time working and part-time college to get my B.S. degree - at 50 years of age! After receiving that I couldn't stop - and I now run my own Management Consultant firm and work part-time as an Adjunct Faculty member in the State University of NY educational system. Well worth the sacrifice and hard work. One of the best things anyone can do as an individual is invest in themself. Be it education, health or whatever. I wish you all the best...
