Good for you @Cookie. I lived the IT stress game starting in the Mid 90's and today I couldn't image going back. I'd rather be poor and sit on the edge of a mountain instead while being happy, free from stress and surrounded by cool critters. Doing IT you take on everyone else's problems around you and your life is constantly distracted thinking if solutions 24/7. I'd wake up in the middle of the night with an idea to fix a current problem constantly.
I worked in the medical IT field for years and noticed Nursing and IT have many similar things in common, probably why you choose it. Not sure you'll escape the stress but maybe it's a different kind of stress.
This verse is for you... good luck!
