Answer 4

I really think that nursing is an important health field.  They can get jobs anywhere, and they are needed all over the world.  And eventually some become doctors, you can also specialize in a specific field such as ER/Trauma, Pediatrics, Maturnity, Family ... etc.  You can do 2 years for associates then go to bachelors, or you can do a 4 year bachelors program and then your masters.

pharmacy, doctor, dentist, nurse,

although if you think about nursing it would be extremely hard to get into program... it is a trend so
