You can become a nurse at like delta College.

Delta college charges poor girls $25k to become a Licensed Practical Nurse to make $14 an hour if they can find an LPN job. They could skip the "education" and make just as much working the register in the hospital cafeteria, have a better schedule and not have to clean shite. I am not even sure if even rural hospitals hire LPN's anymore.

Education in this country is a joke. The education of educators in this country is a bigger joke. Honestly education in this country at all levels is a joke. You can become an engineer getting 50% on your tests because they round that shite up to a 70 which is a C in Engineering but someone else fails out of a BSN program because you didn't make a 80% on a single test in the program so they have to repeat the semester because under an 80 is an F. Say you want to try a business degree after failing a couple semesters trying to be an engineer and have a 4.0 business GPA but a 1.9 GPA from you failed attempt at Engineering landing with a 2.9 overall. They won't let you IN business school because you were advised to take 18 hours including Calculus, Physics, Chemistry your first semester in school so you could be on track to double major in 3 years and didn't do well. Who the frick taught that adviser how to advise 17/18 year old KIDS if they come to that conclusion. frick the education system. You should be able to become an Engineer, Nurse, Accountant, Manager, etc. etc. without a 4 year university degree. I am not saying you don't need education, but a hybrid classroom/field apprenticeship would be way more beneficial than a Bachelors degree. It won't get better until we take the government out of the system and let the market reshape what kind of education system we need for a modern world.
