I can fully agree with this statement. I earned my LVN license back in 2006 because I was looking for a ticket to flexibility, steady income, and advancement opportunities. For a diploma that took only 12 months to earn, the money was not bad at all. I earned $47k in '06, $45k in '07, $63k in '08 (the result of two jobs), and $47k in '09. Many people with masters' degrees who majored in humanities and liberal arts do not have this type of earning potential.

I earned my RN license last year even though nursing is not my passion. Mainly, I did it for the pay increase. Some people consider nursing a 'higher calling from above,' but I merely regard it as another means to an end.
• Master of Science in Nursing - Eastern New Mexico University (in progress)
• Bachelor of Science in Nursing - Western Governors University (3/2015)
• Associate of Science in Nursing - Platt College (3/2010)
• Diploma of Vocational Nursing - Casa Loma College (10/2005)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Professional licensure: LPN/LVN (1/2006); RN (5/2010)
• 16 brick & mortar credits from Oxnard College (2000 to 2001)
• 38 brick & mortar credits from Tarrant County College (2006 to 2008)
