    Nuclear Technicians also tend be Navy Nuclear graduates as well. They get trained and have hands on experience. The course is developed by MIT.

    My mom is an RN with an associates degree. She is very nurturing and has been told by many patients that she is an excellent nurse because she doesn’t always throw the work onto the aide. Needless to say, she made almost 100k last year. Of course she did work a lot and commute a long distance, but such is life. I think it depends on each individual and how willing they are to actually progress.

    on the topic of commercial pilots… that is bullshit. major airlines wont even look at ur resume unless u have a bachelors. sure, u can go to flight school and get a 2 year degree… but youll b making 20k a year for a longgg time, with a maximum salary of 50k a year.

    you cannot become an RN in 2 years, that is a 4 year bachelors degree, a 2 year nursing degree is an LPN

    Is this article a mere duplication from another site or source? OR did the authur of this article actually research this info from studies? Asking because this list is a bit ridiculous to post on an African American site. Everyone one of OUR children/adults need to obtain a 4yr degree, most especially for the occupations listed, if not more. And almost all of these require some type of continuing education. Something this important should be written with more care for US. Come on FBD!!

    Unfortunately, the author failed to mention occupations in the legal and criminal industry ~ why??

    The only reason to get the B.S.N. Is if you want to become a head nurse or admin. You can finish those classes in a year n complete your bachlors

    All these jobs that is mention on here required more than associate degree. I’ve research many different companies that offer the same jobs and then some and guess what, they want people who have bachelor degree, 2-5 year experience and extra skills in accountant, clerical, ect. I’m just a non-traditional college student that needs a job/career in which I can survive without being fear of being denied of job because of student loans or getting my gas turn off, ect. Something need to change in the job industry.
