Which career is better nursing or business?
First time college applicant
In my opinion, the difference between these two choices are not as big as I would have said even two years ago. Forbes did a story that said pretty much the same that nursing is overestimated as a career choice (Source:https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisongriswold/2012/06/18/has-nursing-been-overhyped-as-a-career-choice/#77c3ece73555).
In the US, there will be a demand for nursing but I don't believe that you will be able to recapture your investment in tuition as half will quit nursing. At the one year mark, 20% will quite (http://www.rwjf.org/en/library/articles-and-news/2014/09/nearly-one-in-five-new-nurses-leave-first-job-within-a-year--acc.html) and the annual rate is 17.2% (http://strategicprogramsinc.com/nursing-shortage-statistics/). Nursing is demanding and many don't realize how difficult this career field is.
You might lke business because it is a much less demanding field but you get to stay in business much longer than nursing.
