And you will see the reason that they're not high up on this list. I've been married to one for 10 years and whenever a young family member or friend asks him about becoming a nurse, he urges them to get a degree in something else. Nurses get paid well, but maybe not well enough relative to the level of stress, work environment, physical demands etc. Essentially a Nurse has all the stress and demands of a Doctor sans the medical degree, and make on average 1/5 what a doctor makes. No wonder it doesn't make the list based on THESE qualifications.
