Re: tell me what to do

@Sara516

That’s understandable, and I don’t think that’s an outrageous thing to want. but I’ve never heard that it’s not a respectable career…although when I think about it, I don’t now any nurses in pak…

how did u come to this conclusion?

I don’t know how true this is but talking to my relatives/friends in pakistan, it seems that nurses have the reputation of having “loose character”. Nursing tends to have the “skanky” reputation by people in the US too (shows always depict them as hotties that sleep around with married doctors, etc) so I think it might just be a magnification of that. I’ve been told by some people that “oh you’re pretty just become a nurse”…as a backhanded compliment when I explain I’m pursuing medicine.

I mean, in general from what I understand after talking to my cousins who work there, Pakistani society is slowly starting to accept women in the workplace. So that could also have a lot to do with it. Who knows.

Yes he is a engineer and just got promoted at his job… With a lot of facilities… My problem is not that I don’t like Pakistan. I just want to be able to have career of my own and that is not possible in pakistan cuz in pakistan nursing is not a respectable career and here in USA it is one of most respected and good paid profession.

I think that’s a valid concern given that you’ve spent time pursuing a career. Have you discussed this issue with him and what does he say?
