secondly, STEM interest and capabilities start well before college, if you're in underfunded/average public schools, you probably don't have access to strong stem training which puts you at a disadvantage in college. there's a reason there are so many non-profit coding academies for students of color and girls, you have to be exposed younger and younger nowadays to even start base level courses in college.

My wife is an RN and she tells me all the time I (and men in general) should become RNs. Everybody is looking for male nurses and they're on a fast track because there are so few of them. There were only two men in her whole class. And 1 didn't end up graduating.
I would go but we already have a kid with one on the way, and too many bills for me to stop working, so i wouldn't be able to do clinicals.

Male nurses have annupper hand in the field, from what I've been told over and over. You can always get a 2 year degree, and still make bank. The only difference between an ADN(2year) and BSN(4) is with a BSN you can move up to supervisor/management etc. But I know people with a ADN who clear 75k/year. Can't lose going that route.
Do ADN programs not require clinical rotations? I'm not even worried about getting a BSN as I already have a degree in Information Systems. But having a nursing degree would put me in the fast track for Healthcare Info Systems roles.
life is too short to major in some shyt you don't care about.
stuff i learned in social sciences is far more valuable and applicable to everyday life than any shyt STEM majors pick up. look at STEM majors try and discuss social issues or politics on here. half the time they are absolutely clueless.

1. Most black school districts are underfunded so the avg 18 year old black kid is at a disadvantage compared to an 18 year old cac or asian
2. A lot of it is cultural, we tend to value self indulgence/our own happiness over finances. In Asian cultures, it's the exact opposite
3. As someone else alluded too, most black kids have to work during college so it's tough to balance that in addition to time consuming majors
4. A lot of black kids are put out at 18 so many have to hustle earlier than non black kids do.

This sums of my thought except experience is higher than school prestige in my view. A guy from a reputable state school with say 5 years experience will fair better in the market, for non-entry-level jobs especially, compared to a grad from MIT with no more than 1 year of experience. There are many things school can't teach.
Well you won't be wiping asses as an RN (or anything higher). Those are Nurse Assistants.
Side note: It's funny to me how annoyed RNs get when CNAs call themselves nurses, lol.

I wish more looked at the networking + business opportunities in college.
True, my lady is a CNA and a CMA and she says the RNs just boss them around and don't really do shyt. The Healthcare field has a high turnover rate though.
