Is This A Good Route?

[Kaotic Lazagna]

okay, i'm a pre-nursing major right now. i really like helping people, especially since seeing the help that nurses provides my father, which is why i want to be a nurse. but they're (schools) are making it harder to become one. the nursing programs are so impacted and are getting harder and harder to get into.

if i don't get into the program, i was thinking of going to Wyotech or UTI. so here's my question...do you guys think that's a good route to take? and also, how much do mechanics or other professions that you can get by going to Wyotech or UTI make? i'm not all about the money, but i would like to be able to support my family when i start one. also, are those professions in demand, meaning i can get a job anywhere any time?
