30 years ago I was trying to decide between becoming a nurse or a hygienist. I chose hygienist because it meant I didn't have to work 12 hour shifts, nights and on the most part weekends. It was a career that I could work part-time (and still make a decent salary) while my children were young. I haven't regretted my choice at all!
It depends where you live on the salary you'd be earning in any of those professions.
