Getting to the High Life: Nursing

This forum has certainly explored and discussed its fair share of alternative careers: Hollywood talent agents, Big Law, surgeons, etc. I had a teacher in school whose husband was a nurse anesthetist (CRNA), and he made a pretty comfortable living. CRNAs rake in somewhere on the lower end of six figure salaries. They're also not spending as much time in school as surgeons or doctors in general...

Anyone with friends or family that are in this position?
