    I feel the same way. There are days when I sort of consider going back to my old
    job because I really miss some parts of it. And frankly, I made more money than I
    do now. Then I remember why I left. And what I really do love about law. So here
    I be.

    Exactly. Specialty areas pay better because they require experience and/or
    specialized training. As for pay, different areas of the country pay differently.
    for example the south historically has the lowest pay for nurses (and teachers). A
    nurse in the city can make 30 to 40 percent more than a rural nurse in the same
    state. Much of the high salary is attributed to overtime. Some place have
    mandatory overtime--no choice about working another shift if you were told to. At
    least when I have to work late it's not because someone else is telling me to, I can
    do what I want within certain limits. God I love that freedom!
