A friend just told me that her fiancee makes 100k a year (actually she is my bff). He is an AC repairman....

Holy shite! I went to school for how many years? Expose myself to how many pathogens? Have literally saved how many lives?
I probably won't even make that with a freaking DNP.
Don't get me wrong. The last thing that I would want to do with my life is climb through attics in the middle of summer. My exhusband has a job that keeps him in attics and on ladders. Lord knows that is not for me. I just feel that what I do is as specialized and valuable to society as the work of an AC repairman (bless him).
Is it because nursing is still mostly women? The dichotomy between physician salaries and APN's salaries would support that. Of course, full time for me is only 36 hours a week- just three 12 hour shifts....
The feminazi in me is all bristling now. Am I overreacting?

Nope. As one of my coworkers so lovingly puts it, "we get paid shit to clean up shit". Maybe I need to learn to repair ACs.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was having the same kind of thought when she told me what he made. I probably won't even make that with a DNP.
