He can't even go to college right now, without students revolting and demanding that he be thrown out.


He doesn't need to go to college, he'll be set for life by the time he's 20 just like the Maga hat kid. The one who just won his third major lawsuit against media and who all the Libby's laughed at here and said he'd never get a dime. That they did not see the slander and this kid's life was ruined is amazing to me. They live in a totally different world than I do. I live in the real one.

It's not about being set for life, he clearly wants to get into a nursing program.

To make money, there is a ton of money in nursing right now. The RN's where my brother is staying make $100,000 a year. He won't need money he's going to be a multi multi multi-millionaire. Just like the Maga hat kid.

I read recently that travelling nurses can make up to 200k per year!

They are begging for nurses on the front page of our local paper not the classifieds.

They are very short-staffed where my brother is. LPNs make $70,000 a year and they can't even find those. The lowest grade nurse there makes $50,000 a year and they are still short staffed.

There has been a shortage of nurses since the 80s. The community college I went to tried to guide me that way, the have a big program. I have no aptitude for medical stuff and hate touching random people so no way I would ever do that. But for someone who does like the idea it is a great way to go.

Just reading our local paper. This county [Mohave] 30% of it's population [ that's probably not the cruise your going on ] is 60 or older, with the 3rd worst vax rate in the country by county's. The article went on to say that out of all the ICU beds in the state, there are only 88 of them out of 1700 something, that aren't occupied. So there's a good chance if I were to need intubation, I would be sent to another county. And my wife can't travel.
That's not a problem. They probably wouldn't allow her to visit or comfort you as you die. Or you, her, if she was the one intubated. You might get lucky and be on the same ward! $:o|

The hand wringing about your worst possible hyperbole of Covid outcome is getting so tired.
If you're that scared, stay in your house, get your groceries delivered & live a beautiful live of Netflix & Yellowstone viewing.
The rest of are living out lives normally and will be just fine if the scared people never come out of their houses again.
