Go to nursing school. If you need a career change, have compassion and intelligence, consider nursing. They can't export those jobs, and it pays well. The nursing shortage is growing exponentially here in the U.S. and overseas as well. I worked for the railroad until I quit and went to nursing school at age 42. Nursing jobs hve served me well, and I'm happier than when I was on call 24/7 with the damn railroad.

Nursing is not for everybody. The schooling is a bitch, the boards are a bitch, the job is usually a bitch, and some of your co-workers are total bitches. Let's not talk about the bosses.

But if you can overlook all that, as I try to do, you can go anywhere in the country and get a job immediately. Thanks, BlueJay
