Help a wagecuck out, /biz/. Am I about to make a huge mistake?

They say that nursing is a lucrative field with plenty of jobs, but how realistic will it be to pay off my debt in a short amount of time? I plan on living like a peasant, and devoting as much as my income as I can to paying off the debt. I’m aiming at paying it off within 2-3 years.
How fucked am I?

4K/yr and they gave me a 200/mth stipend I used to go raving. Also gave me the hook up the county hospital. I knew all the admin and directors.

It's so weird for me to read that you have to pay for Nursing Program (or university)

Here you can ask for scholarship when you are into nursing.

Feels good to be an Eurofag.

60k seems pricey. Find a cheaper program.

Who the fuck says that? Do you know any nurses? You’re gonna be wiping asses and cleaning up vomit dude. If you’re gonna go back to school, do something lucrative at least. Go on /g/ or ask on here about niche IT fields. Computer science. Fuck being in medicine unless you become a doc

Dog, why are you not getting into GIS?!
I have a meme physics degree with shitty grades and even I was able to slide into a cozy field geoanalyst role, then got into GEOINT, then went to Afghanistan for a $200k 9-month contract where I basically just dropped pins on google earth for CENTCOM.

I just applied for the field tech job. It paid $15 per hour. I put that I knew QGIS and all the ESRI programs, which I'm sure you used plenty of during college. My only work experience before that was a cable guy running copper for the Army (as a civilian) which I called that position "infosec technician" on the resume.

The GEOINT stuff I got into by getting Comptia Sec+ and some windows sql server certs (paid for by the field job), then got a meme security clearance. The Afghan gig i got purely thru connections with lonely boomers at the GS geoint job.

Besides getting a PHD and teaching (which I'm assuming like maybe 1% of graduates get one of those jobs), what can you actually do with a Geography degree?

its only in demand in the low paying sparsely populated rural areas. or you might be able to get the shitty jobs in the worse hospitals/nursing homes in the city

in the major cities and suburbs, there is no nursing shortage. so many new grads are produced every year, it is saturated.

The meaning of insanity is repeating the same process expecting different results.
