   I've been in the IT field over 20 years and can't stand how unstable it is anymore. Even worse now that companies are sending everything overseas. It does seem to depend on your location though. From what I've seen so far here in CT there are 4 ti...

    My nephew has a male friend who became a nurse and has been doing well with it for years. I had some very long conversations with him but he never seemed to mention all the math and pre reqs to get in. I'm still in search of the magical book that w...
