I didn't know the average American was a nurse. I guess you learn something new every day. |
I took "average" to mean normal, everyday people, otherwise it is nonsensical. No degree does anyrhing for the average person, because most people arent XYZ. Also nurses make up a sizable portion of the middle-class workforce. Healthcare is currently the largest sector of the U.S economy, and that includes nurses, office clerks, etc all positions that only really require associate's degrees for entry level positions. Another large subset of the middle class economy is IT and tech, which also have jobs available for people with associate's degrees.
Both of these degrees have people working with higher median salaries than many, many lesser demanded bachelor's degrees in over saturated fields.
