Nursing isn't what I had in mind as a science major. It's really not, it's more of a clinical major, most of the science nursing majors study are review courses and not detailed basic science. If were talking a basic hard science, such as, math, physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, etc, then no, it really doesn't matter. Mainly because any of those majors is going to give you the tools you need to learn other additional skills. For example, I was a biology major and a chemistry minor as an undergraduate but I've spent a big chunk of my career working in the chemical and materials engineering field as well as working in project management all of which I am pretty much self taught and most people I know who work in a technological field have a sound basic science education but are laregly self taught in the applied field in which they work. To demonstrate my point, chemistry is one of the most demanding science majors around, yet their is little demand for chemist in industry as much industrial production has moved over seas decreasing dramatically the demand for chemists in this country. But I don't see to many unemployed chemists out there. Why? Cause the have the education and the basic science skills to learn other marketable skills and they do so.Depends on the science. There is a limit on the market value of any particular skill or knowledge base. A lot of people in my area are gonna figure that out with nursing. It's gonna be an over saturated market (already is in some places).
Yea I used to tutor nursing majors when I was in college to earn some extra cash or get some trim (love those nursing and education majors!) and I was shocked at how watered down their science curriculum was. On the other side, their clinical education is quite rigerous.yes nursing short supply = high pay
but it's way easier than a science major
we'll since you brought it up, broke my personal record with a nursing student/tennis partner 20 yrs younger a couple years back.
12 times in one weekend in the keys and still had time for tennis.
I'm not saying it is a science, I'm saying that market over saturation can destroy the value of any particular degree or skill.Nursing isn't what I had in mind as a science major.
