Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Orawomen or Nursing? [OT]
What's amazing to me is that I, with my AD in Data-freaking-Processing, was
making more than twice what my lovely wife was with her Masters in
Communicative Disorders. Just plain wrong. Another reason why she's chosen
not to work in that field anymore. A shame that her talents in the field
are not going to help people anymore, but I agree with her decision totally.
<sigh> Now I'm depressed. Let's go back to breaking production DBs....

Lisa,
Nursing is no place for a woman; if you think DBA'ing is stressful, you ain't seen nothing yet My wife is an RN and, while it may no be scientific, I attribute our difficulty in conceiving and miscarriage to job stress working on an understaffed hospital floor. That was 7+ years ago and it has gotten worse with state and federal cutbacks. Currently, at some facilities, an 80% turnover is common. Unless working conditions improve drastically in the next 10 years, we will use all our influence to steer our two daughters away from nursing. And be glad you work where a gross error only results in a mangled database, not human tragedy.
FWIW
Mike
