If she's doing med for the money she won't last long in that field.
Look into accounting. If I could go back a year and start from scratch id do geology or petroleum engineering

If she chooses nursing get a Bachelors degree. Job market is slow for nurses right now. I don't care what the numbers say.

There is a big demand for people in the safety field. This is not just a local thing and ask anyone in the the oilfield business safety is the fastest growing part of the industry.

She is interested in this and I think it is a great choice. I work in the oilfield and think it would be a great way to get in with a company . Im just wondering the best training etc to get in order to have the best chances at a job.

Might not get rich, but you'll never be without a job in the medical, safety, environmental, or engineering fields.

I dont even want her to be rich, I would be happy if she can make a decent living with benefits. I do well enough that i can handle most the load.

Top 3 I would go for is Accounting, Computer Science, and Finance(what Ive got). That's not in particular order of those 3.

Remember the big oil companies need people in all three fields I listed. Actually any big company will need somebody in those fields.
