A career in Nursing?

While staying for few days at my best friend’s house during a business trip, I’ve observed how her two kids (both of them are my godson and goddaughter) have grown up to be responsible and respectful persons. I asked D, the youngest who will be in high school soon, what course he plans to take up, and I was surprised he’s interested in a Nursing career. I really thought he’d follow his Dad’s footsteps as a mechanical engineer, but not D, he’s more interested on caring for sick persons than tinkering with engines or ring terminals. I guess he’s influenced by his Mom who just got a BS degree in Nursing while his big sis is currently taking up the same course in college. I think another reason could be the allure of Nursing as a course that is in high demand for work abroad. Their family is planning to migrate to another country in the future, so I’m sure the course will be a good choice though.
