Michelle Obama's suggestion, if it were to be taken up by sizable numbers of people, would bankrupt the economy. Those lucrative corporate careers are where the money is made that pays the taxes that provide for jobs as teachers and social workers.

Oh, that's silly. "Bankrupt the economy," indeed. Is the author a Democrat?

Although Ms. Obama is indeed a flaming hypocrite, she's not totally wrong about career advice. Nursing, for example, is a lucrative profession, and many grants and scholarships are available for nursing students because of the demand for nurses.

In addition, many women have found that the corporate lifestyle was not what they really wanted, and found themselves enslaved to their student loans. (Men, too, but she was addressing women.) Of course, most people don't have the option of becoming race-hustling political demagogues with rich real-estate speculator "friends" to help pay for everything ... but she *does* have some points.

Nursing is NOT a lucrative profession, and I’m going into it.

Nursing administration or nurse anesthetist - that can bring in the bucks, now.
