And I'm an engineer and I think $80k/year in Alberta is probably not out of the realm of realty. I know how much I made my first year out several years ago.
And an Alberta engineer with 10 years experience is likely making more than the RN at 10 years. We could look at the APEGA survey to see.

Your experience with RNs is likely years old. My experience, more than half of first year RNs are getting full time lines if they want it.
You've proved my point. A female dominated profession (Registered Nurse) has very similar pay as a male dominated profession (Engineer), both have similar education requirements.
