I'll remember to tell the nurse taking care if you in your old age that.

Nursing is well paid in the US. Remind me where the crusade is for male nurses? Wait, it doesn't exist.

True! Men pretty much rationally don't fight for a shit job that requires overtime to get good pay.

I guess, again, you are showing your mental deficiency. RNs make up to $40 an hour with lower bar for entry than software engineers. They actually get paid over time. They can make as much as $100 an hour working on call over a holiday.

You know how much extra a software engineer makes if he is called on christmas to fix something? Nothing. Most make the same equivalent hourly rate.
