Yeah Sky, I hate to break it to you but from what I can tell FP is correct, nursing is a "dirty job" as Mike Rowe would say on the Discovery Channel. Better use other examples... firefighter and teacher seem to fit the bill.

My father was a lifelong college teacher, he made what equates to $87k in 2007 dollars, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. He had evenings and nights off plus weekends and summers; he spent an enormous amount of time entertaining guests and fooling around with photography. His workday was comprised of maybe 3 lectures a day interspersed with a meeting or two; he seemed to have coeds attempting to trade sexual favors for a C-plus every time I happened by. And I sincerely believe he never took any of them up on it... but he complained about how stupid the Dean was constantly.

You have a point but you need to refine it a little so FP doesn't go off on you...
