This is true of many things? I don’t know if you went to college, but short of engineering or highly technical fields, it was laughably easy back in the day. It was not challenging. A whole bunch of girls in that era became nurses and teachers. That was easily the most popular professions for women? Some were morons. Many weren’t. What is difficult about this for you to grasp? Are you getting up there in age?
Nurses were more of a skilled trade. Many even went that voc school route where it was cosmetology, auto repair, or the start of your nursing career. RN’s were often two year degrees. Occasionally one year intensive trade learning. Many of those girls were bright, but it’s a trade. As schools became more selective, it became more of a profession. No one was getting into even the pre-reqs who wasn’t a 3.8 HS student. When I was in school. Girls with GEDS could start nursing programs. Girls with 2.2 GPAs.
As time went on, they started requiring BSNs. So all the working nurses had to do online bridge courses, or weekend courses, to take them from two year RNs to BSNs. That’s much different that entering a profession that required you to be a super student from day one.
The scarier part is the profession is now so competitive, on the lower levels, doctors offices, nursing homes, you are talking LPNs and 10 week MA certificates. So leaving a $100k a year job over a shot is problematic, but what is the result on the lower end?
