As for the economy, everyone is affected. We all need to pull in a little. I'm a nurse, and I hear so much about people wanting to go into health care or nursing. If it's something you'd still want to do if it didn't pay/provide security like you think, go for it. But, I'll tell you, in hospitals in my city, the census is low. In fact, an entire med-surg unit is closed at my hospital, something unheard of. Interestingly, this phenomenon has been recent, in line with credit/financial crisis. People aren't seeking elective care (even IF do have insurance, many co-pays are out of sight), and without this type of treatment, people are arriving very ill or not at all. Not good. Time will tell what's going to happen, but they certainly aren't hiring in my area, as talk is actually that of letting go of nurses. I'm not saying nurses are generally struggling (most regions, opposite that at moment), I'm just saying, as strippers should know very well, things like this are cyclical. And talk about "great things awaiting" doesn't necessarily make that true. I love being a nurse, though. We'll do well in whatever we do if we are true to ourselves, so find what gets YOU going, and not just for the money. Good luck.
