smcgrath76 - RN wages are more than a notch above what anyone around here can earn off farm. Probably above what Manitoba RN's earn too for that matter. I know nurses here who would love to quit and stay home, but they just can't give up the money.
The job I had likely didn't pay a quarter of what a nurse would earn. The aggravating part to me was that other than being with animals rather than people, I was using pretty much the same skill set. The lower the wages, the less attractive that off farm job looks, especially when you come home just as tired, and it costs you just as much to get to work.
I would suspect there are far more women in my situation, work wise, than what are in well paid professions.
