Sirus me? Are you seriously saying a nurse is NEVER going to make as much as a Mechanical Engineer? Do some research dude. Just because you switched to a Mechanical Engineering major doesn't mean that you can undermine the goods of a nursing degree. Like I said, In cali, a RN makes at LEAST 60 bucks an hour. That's 2400 dollars a week!! That's abt $10000 / month!!!! That's AT LEAST 100 thousand Grands a year?!?! I respect your opinion but you've said it yourself, a Nursing Degree provides easy options for GC, H1 , Money and so on while a MEchanical Engineer has to go through a shit load of stuffs, degree, hard work, internships, job hunting and such before being successful! On a different note, yes , if someone is thinking about going back to NEpal then a Mechanical Engineering degree is FAR better than a Nursing degree !!
