Or maybe the best time to graduate. Granted he may not get a good job starting out but he'll probably learn more about the world economy and money management than any college education could ever provide. Great skills to learn at such a young age. Two of my kids are nurses and they luckily just got jobs in the last two years I keep telling them to listen watch and learn as this depression unfolds.

Interesting, the media still seems to think nursing is a "hot" profession. finance.yahoo.com The Hardest Jobs to Fill in America In today's economic climate, it's hard to believe there are jobs that employers are having a hard time filling. But they do exist, according to the staffing firm Manpower's annual talent shortage survey. From the 2,019 employers who responded to the survey in January, Manpower created this list of the 10 hardest jobs to fill in the U.S. 1. Engineer There are several reasons it's hard for employers to find qualified engineers, says Jonas Prising, Manpower's president for the Americas. First, employers don't want to hire two or three engineers with a variety of specialties, they want one engineer who is trained in several areas. Another reason is that there are far too few new college graduates in engineering to replace retiring engineers. Also, the Obama administration's pledge to rebuild America's infrastructure is increasing the need for talented engineers. 2. Nurse There are several causes of this shortage. First, America's aging population requires more caregivers for chronic illnesses affecting older people. Also, advances in medical care require more nurses to assist in treatment. However, there's a shortage of nurse educators, so while demand for professionals is great, there aren't enough teachers to train the next generation fast enough.
