Crystal cracker you are right in something but not all. your judgemental statment" Engineering is way better than nursing " is false absolutely false. If you were nursing student you would not tolerate this. What makes you think that engineering is better than nursing? I know pire has very supportive statment that is relevant and true but not yours. If you ask the question which is best in long run, the answer depends on whether he/she is nurse or engineer. Both of them are satisfied in their profession and their answer always favors their field. There is nothing in this world which is best for the whole world. It is situational. I swear if you were here in USA in F1 visa and had an opportunity to study nursing, you would jump at least for the sake of getting GC.
