Best return on investment in education is an RN from a community college - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

The degree is so cheap it's practically free. Hospitals don't care that it's not a BSN and the wages are great. We have a JuCo here in town that cranks out RN's at a cost of about 14 bucks per class they take plus books. After the 2 year program has ended they are making no less than $50K/year and usually they have made their way up to $80K+ within 3 years. It has to be the single fastest way on the planet to put oneself in the middle class almost without spending a dime.

It would be nice if a CC in Utah was that inexpensive.

CEU and Snow are pretty cheap. They pass out scholarships like candy.

That's true, but they're not like California CC cheap. JCs in Cali are a great deal in education.

In michigan you can have all your school paid for as long as you work at a michigan hospital for as many years as you took scholarship money
