It's a new epidemic for Americans to go back to school and either finish a college degree or start a whole new career. I don't know if its due to the economy or late bloomers who never completed college. I myself am 28 years old and have just started taking my pre reqs for a RN associates degree. After high school I was sick of school and just wanted to make money already. I decided to attend beauty school which was a 4 month program, got my license in 2 months after that and started working right away. That was in 2001. Now in 2010, people are lucky to just keep a job and not get laid off. So many people are going back to school. Many Americans are trying a Nursing degree because it's a good stable job that is always needed. Additionally, in about 10 years from now there will be a turnover of Nurses that retire, from baby-boomers. Therefore , there will be even more Nursing positions to be filled. At this age I can honestly say I enjoy school more because I'm older and more mature. It was a decision I made. Although I look forward to finishing soon so I can grab a good nursing job before they're all taken ;)
