Nursing is always in demand but is hard work. Most work 12 hour shifts 3 days on 4 days off. CNA and LPN take less time to get, but earn less. RNs make more, but expect to earn your Master's. Check with your local hospital - many have tuition assistance if you agree to work for them.
My sister is a teacher and isn't happy. There is so much side work teacher's have to do that they never get reimbursed for. She is looking for work outside the education system.
