I agree, my sister became an RN and is going back for her masters and my brother graduated from masters with a hospital adminstration degree and is now right below the CEO, which he will take over in a few years making in the upper 200k. It is all about job demand though, nursing would not be a job I would want just because of the actual work you have to do. But if you can deal with it, the money and security is good. Also a traveling nurse or med tech makes even more money with all expenses paid for, would be a good job for someone young with no attachments.
