College guys and grads, help

Find a local community college that offers a 2yr program to be an RN. My fiance is in nursing school right now. And when she gets out she'll be making $20+ an hour. Thats only with the associates degree in nursing. Personally, I think PT is a waste. You'll make less money than an RN but still in the health field. If I was you I'd just go in the nursiong program and make the big bucks. Later, if you want to make the 6 digit salary then get your bachelors in nursing after your associates then get your masters to become a nurse anesthestist.

That is actually one of my options as well since the pay is well and all of the benefits you mentioned

MY best friend is in PA school at WVU right now, he's in his 2nd year, which is mostly internships. He has an undergrad in Sports Medicine/Athletic Training Usually, about an BS in a health science field will allow you to go to PA school. Its great money, albeit real work.

Interesting stuff.

Does your best friend enjoy that career choice? Im really considering being a PA (if I can get in the program... still need a little less of the pre-requistes) or a RN

All good points, but everyone that I ever talked to wishes they just went to be a doctor. They say it sucks that they get paid so little for all they do.

I considered it but med school to become a actual doctor is much, much harder. My sisters ex-boyfriend just finished to become a chiropractor and he had so many problems. While a friend of mine is about to finish school to be a PA and he admits its fairly easier compared to becoming a doctor
