Well, that's nice. I had to remove my post asking for help because it was spammed on a CRNA forum because they were offended that I considered money a perk of the career. I'm sure they're all willing to do their jobs for minimum wage.
FYI, CRNAs-This post wasn't really meant to be read by a bunch of people who don't know who I am. If you read some of the other replies you will get a much better idea of who I am, and you'd know that what you took at face value was just that. I'm not looking into anesthesia solely for the paycheck, and with my intended audience I didn't think I needed to make that as clear as I would with strangers. Some of the statements you so kindly bolded are things I can say to friends and know that they're not going to take them as facts. For example: I am lazy. I'm as lazy as a nursing student with an 8 month old and an overworked husband can be. My idea of lazy isn't the same as your average American's.
I didn't give an all inclusive analysis of each of my career options. I gave an outline of the main points that make my decision difficult, and yes, money is one of them. I have a lot to learn about all of my options, I am the first to admit that. I am actively seeking out information all the time, I'm sorry I don't know your job as well as you do. I have a lot to learn about all of my options. I know that. I work really hard in nursing school and it's not my intention to turn into a slob when it comes to my job. When I said I don't want to work very much I did not mean effort wise. I know school will be hard. I never expected anything different.
And btw-you should read over some of your own posts about salary. You might be surprised as how hypocritical you sound.
