Most jobs, if you want to attract men you have to have a good salary.

Sorry, I didn't mean to infer nurses are blue collar but rather the career options men are choosing pay less than nurses earn. My key point is that if someone wants to make a lot of money in these parts, nursing is one of the best options they can choose. There is not a lot of demand for people with 4 year degrees otherwise outside of the schools, and the average teacher certainly doesn't make $75K. Not even close.
