I usually get:
"Oh good for you! Lots of money and jobs in the medical field"
The response actually kinda irritates me. I didnt go into nursing because they make good money or because the field has a positive job outlook. I am a nursing major because I want to be a nurse. Plain and simple. The fact that I will have an easier time getting a job than say the education majors at my school is a nice benefit, but certianly not why I want to be a nurse.
Ditto on those comments about it being a great career choice especially about the stability and that healthcare is a career that will never go away. Oh yea and the comment about the money. Do they think I am majoring to become a petroleum engineer (highest paid bachelor career choice just in case you didn't know)?
