Ustwo I want you to do a nursing major for me
I don't know how things work in the USA but here uni is seriously no big deal, you can go courses at private institutions like the AMA ( Auatralian Medical Association) or TAFE or Uni and still end up in related fields. If I hadn't wanted to go to Uni I could have done an EN (Enrolled nurse) diploma at TAFE then a conversion course in 1 yr at uni and be an RN (Registered nurse), same thing happens in computing, mechanical, engineering courses.
And I hate to burst your bubble but the USA education system is a bit of a joke here actually, alot of the qualifications and degrees you can achieve aren't recognised internationally.
