Popular Post Jetsfan80 Posted June 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2023 Brick is evidence that having other interests and avenues in life doesn't always have to be considered a red flag when prospects get compared to the football junkies who, at least when they're drafted, have no semblance of a Plan B in life after football. Sometimes other interests helps you put things in perspective and maybe takes some of the stress off of you that the sport undoubtedly creates. It can also help you become a tremendous leader. Some of those guys play it smarter with injuries too so they're not hurting the team by playing injured (as opposed to playing hurt). Not an issue with Brick, however, as he never missed a snap due to injury. Brick was a tremendous professional and I wish him all the best in his new venture. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe W. Namath Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Jack Byrnes: Greg's a male nurse. Greg Focker: Yes. Thank you, Jack. Kevin: Wow, that's great. I'd love to find time to do some volunteer work. Just the other day I saw a golden retriever, he had like a gimp, ya know I just wish I could have done something. Greg Focker: Yeah, well I get paid too so it's sort of a everyone wins thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend folks to go to an Accelerated program to get it over with rather then a 4 year degree.

He was working for a hospital system after undergrad and they just asked him if he like to go to nursing school. They pay for it and he has to work within their network fir like 3-4 years. Seemed like a No brainer for him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s nice because they make it possible for him to work and go to school because it’s through the hospital itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowles Movement Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 No disrespect for nurses but I dont get why Brick would do this. He doesnt need the money and its a tough job. Id always read he was interested in politics but this doesnt seem like an avenue to that career. Whatever his thinking, he has always been a great Jet and I wish him well.

Maybe at one time he had a passion for politics but people change and so do their interests. Teaching is tough and you make peanuts yet there are tons of great teachers out there all the same.

Same reason. Teachers that teach never made 10 million a year for multiple years. How many people win the lotto and go back to their daily grind? Jobs pay you to work because most typically suck- if it was fun they d make you pay to do it. And nursing is a tough job with a lot of responsibility and not much glory. Good for Brick if he is that one in a million. Or maybe its his way to get into medical school? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that’s what I’m saying: If someone has all the money they need but does a tough job anyways then clearly he/she loves the work. Even if most of the rest of us wouldn’t. I guarantee there are lots of teachers out there you who could win the lottery tomorrow but still not quit their jobs because it brings them joy. Not everything has to have an ulterior motive or an endgame in mind. For Brick this might be an end in itself. Or maybe he’ll only do it for a few years and then move on to another passion? Who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetworks Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Nursing is my second career as well, so seeing this makes me beyond happy!! Brick as a few degrees if I remember, so I would think that once he gets the clinical aspect down, he will likely move to a leadership role. Never too late to reinvent yourself. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

undertow Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I'm sure Brick is getting involved in the profession for the right reasons but after a few weeks of seeing how the system works he's gonna quit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nursing can be great, or a giant suck that gradually steals your soul and gets you irrevocable burn out by the time you're 35. Depends on where you work. I'd rather be a PA if I wanted to go beyond being a Critical Care Paramedic, which I don't even do anymore... Anyway, good luck Brick and Baby Crusher! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kleckineau Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Good for D'Brick. One of the all time great Jets. I am a RN. I spent the majority of my career in emergency rooms. I retired a few years ago. I am very proud to say my son Phil Jr. is following in my footsteps and is soon to be a Nurse Practitioner. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
