I didn’t go through that, but I started a few years later. The issue is growth. Individual prosperity is tied to growth - that’s why engineers are so well paid; they are productive employees priced based on future value. Once growth slows, value crashes. The big “if” is whether AI is as big of a deal. Personally, i think it’s a field with a lot of hype historically. But nursing is still a great career path, if for no reason other than not being stuck in particular geographical areas.
