Hey thanks for the amazing content! Could you make a list of jobs after getting a research degree in Med Sci! Thanks ♥️

[@wendepatrella2018]

Hello, I love your channel and everything but you are VERY WRONG when it comes to being an RD.. dietetics is a very immense field where we can work pretty much any where!! (Food service and renal dietitians have the most competitive salaries around the high 60s-70k a year) & I understand we dont start out as much as a nurse with their bachelors degree, but after atleast a years worth of experiences outside the internship, salary becomes very competitive!! We also have a VERY easy time moving into management and we can also get various specialty certifications that boost our careers as well. Also, being an RD isn't soo stressful, we have a high career satisfaction rating and it's a very interesting career and the hours are very flexible, which means you can still have a LIFE. I also follow numerous dietitians that have been in this field for YEARS and give advice about the field and they f'n LOVE IT!! We DONT deserve an F. More so a C+ because our field is still growing.. fast.. literally a year ago our salary median was in the high 50s.. and its STILL growing!!! Were also expanding the places we can work for.. even with pharmaceutical sales!! Also, I have family and friends that work as dental assistants and you can literally become one from a 12 week program, and get out actually making a living wage. They also enjoy their careers as well.. I just wanted to throw that out there. Thank you for sharing your opinion, but I'm gunna have to disagree on some factors!!!! Money isn't everything!! I've known people in that high tier list that make ALOT, but aren't as happy and can't find time to even enjoy their salaries, but I guess it's all about balance sometimes!! Thanks again for sharing, but I just had to say something so I can further introduce you to some research I've done and some first hand experiences I've had!!!

Decided to rewatch the list. Be verrrry careful with Sonography. 98% of those people end up with MK injuries even practicing good ergonomics, exercise, taking care of themselves. Theres a reason why the profession has good pay for only 2 yrs of school. I have met seasoned sonographers who said they all have something and I have a friend whose only been doing it for 2 yrs and got a shoulder injury. They dont just scan pregnant bellies they have to also dig that camera thing into 200-300lb patients' bellies to look for abnormalities constantly. It also goes into cavities and the angle fucks up peoples hands and theres not really a way avoid it cause every patients body is different. Be warned!!

That's something that's super disappointing about being a doctor though. I still plan on going to med school, but I'm surprised nothing's been done about the conditions yet and how overworked many doctors are considering how important of a career it is. Fatigue is real and we already know it can impair judgement to same degree that being drunk does, we have evidence that fatigue leads to potentially deadly mistakes in the medical field, so why are we still expecting doctors to do their jobs well on little to sleep? Reasonable hours means that doctors can better treat their patients.

[@deacon6221]

It’ll get better with the influx of PAs and NPs to lessen doctors work loads. The cold truth is being a doctor takes a strong combination of skills that like only 5% of the world population has.

[@1mol831]

I think they should lower the requirments instead. Let more people be doctors and make the degree cheaper (probably around the same cost as the engineering degrees) and have lower requirments (lets have top 10% instead of top 0.1%) going on right now for people to get in. Normal workers could probs do a better job than fatigued hardworkers.

I'm finishing up my degree in Nutrition and Dietetics right now. Your brief analysis was pretty accurate. It seems like the road is pretty long to get off the ground.

As an RPh, I think that pharmacist should be lower. 3 out of 5 jobs are retail, and that sector continues to consolidate and become more efficient (fewer jobs). It's also much easier to get into pharmacy school than it used to be. Salaries are starting to decline. We really need a path to something like a PA or NP since that is where the demand is.

[@Bejman13]

As a dentist, I would agree with B tier, and I would also agree with dental hygienists as an A tier. But I disagree with putting physicians above dentists. Dentists do have a lot of debt, but if youre in private practice, you can realistically pull in 200k+ if you play your cards right, which can easily be more than a physician. I personally have never met a dentist who is still paying off loans in their late 30s, maybe if the started dental school at 30 but thats pretty rare. Most people can pay off loans in 6-8 years. Plus, dentists don't have a required residency program like physicians do, so dentists can start paying off student loans once they graduate. Not to mention, dentists have much more autonomy than physicians, and it is much easier to schedule time off/vacation time. Of course, its more hands on work, which can be good or bad depending on your personality. I have numerous friends who are physicians, and some of them told me they wished they went the dental route instead.

[@andressmith1414]

A dentist who own a practice is definitely an A or even S tier. My dentist told me he makes 800k annually when I shadowed him, he has a pretty average practice in central Florida

As a SLP grad student, most of our graduate training is very much like nursing where our second part of schooling is heavily clinical based to get the clinical hours required for our certification. You didn't mention Audiology. Also SLPs do so much more than just speech therapy. We work with everyone from birth to those who are geriatric. And within two years we can grow our salaries closer to 90k 😊

[@dianaded1010]

PTA and OTA are very missunderstood professions. A PTA does not "help" a PT. Starting salary for both of them is around 60,000 per year, although it largely depends on where you live. Also most of these 2 year degrees will take 3 to 4 years because you need to take prerequisites (eg. Anatomy and physiology, statistics, college algebra, etc.) before you can even apply to a program. Great video!

[@ShaneHummus]

Thanks for watching Diana

[@mr.ssj3847]

I think Dentist and medical doctor belongs on A tier at the very least. Dentists usually have the flexibility to set their own hours and make much more than 150k, and that’s not including specialists where just salaries and not even practice owners can reach 500k for some of them. On the other hand m.d. is much more complicated to classify, you can make 7 figures in some specialties and in others low 6 figures. Hours can be minimal or high. And the salaries u can potentially make may offset the opportunity cost depending on specialty. I think m.d. should also be A rank just because it has the highest potential than any other profession on the list but it also has problems.

[@ShaneHummus]

I respect your insight Shiva.. Good point

[@Low_pH]

Agreed. MD is flexible and dependent on your specialty also you are usually the leader of a medical team or can open your practice. PAs cants. NPs in most states need physician supervision

Objectively if you look at dietetics that way it might rank low. I don’t blame you for putting it down there. I do believe that before studying nutrition, it is important to know what you want to do. Like go into clinical, community, food service, culinary, outpatient, private practice and what specialty you want to do. It is a very diverse career field. The more specialized you are the more money you make. We also take the same classes as doctors, pharmacists and nurses so going to grad school is easy because you have the prerequisites. A lot of RDs go to PA school. I am not saying that it is perfect and I have my issues with the field. I do think the most stressful part of my job is the disrespect we get from other health professionals who think all we do is tell people to eat vegetables, people who want nutrition advice for free and having to justify my career all the time. Great video btw

[@minnied84]

Preach. Soon, this field will require an MS. We get very little respect in healthcare. Other subsets think all we talk about is healthy eating for obesity management, and I'm like, we do, but what happens when the patient can't eat. Who do you think calculates their needs for Tubefeeds and TPN? Oh, others think they can, but when they try, we always have to correct the orders. So many diseases require dietary management or risk death, diabetes, esrd, chf, end stage hepatic disease, dysphagia, etc.... Go in the patients room for an assessment, and nurses yell at me about not having enough Ms. Dash with the last meal. SMH. No respect and low pay.

I would say PTAs are more in A tier next to physical therapists because their median pay is actually $58,000.

[@TheQuietOne]

Just some info if anyone is planning on going into dietetics/nutrition. First i loved it. Its a fun program to go through and its super interesting. But Shane is totally right about the fact that you don't get paid a lot for the amount of school you have to go through. And now the requirements to be a dietitian are changing soon so that you have to have a masters degree to become one. Also the internship process is a joke. Unlike other programs like nursing where you do your clinicals while working on your degree you have to have an APPROVED internship meaning one that is on the approved list through the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND). You can just go to some random hospital and get one. Also there are not enough internship slots for the number of students there are so its extremely competitive. So if you have anything less than a 3.4 GPA you have no chance of getting one. It's all in the hands of those you apply to. I've known people that have had their bachelors for 2-4 years before getting their internship. Oh and not to mention they are NOT paid but you have to pay your own way which includes room and board. That's on top of all the application fees you have to pay would could be hundreds or even over a thousand dollars at times. So if you don't get an internship you're only two options are either get your masters to raise your GPA and try applying for an internship again or go into another field and being stuck with a dietetics degree you can't use. I'm in no way trying to discourage anyone from doing it. There are plenty of dietetics jobs out there and its a fun and fulfilling field but the process of becoming a dietitian is messed up and the AND is scrambling to figure out how to fix it. You can actually google the stats for each year of dietetics graduates that do and don't get accepted into an internship. I loved going through the dietetics program but knowing what I know now I would have gone into nursing instead which is what I'm doing now. Sorry this is so long but I hope this is informative.

[@ShaneHummus]

Thanks for sharing that. Very useful info @TheQuietOne

[@asmashah981]

You say pay isn't a lot. But is it a livable salary where you won't struggle? Also, does the pay increase over time?

I used to watch I'm Shmacked videos to decide what college to go to. Now that I'm going back to school and have finally matured, I'm watching Shane's tier lists to help pick my major

I’m so glad I’ve just changed one of my a levels from chemistry to geography, I’m now doing biology, geography and sociology. I was only really taking chemistry to do pharmacy at university, however after much research I figured that for starters pharmacy is a profession that’s not to great to go into anymore and also it is honestly quite boring to be a pharmacist considering what the actual role entails. Many thanks for this Shane Hummus!

[@Danyal-dv9dw]

Prerna Singh I know right, it seems like pharmacy is a dying career everywhere! Microbiology looks like a much better degree.

I believe it’s worth it to go for those medical doctor degrees disregarding the debt because honestly, technologist in general cannot function without those trained professionals who went to years and years of school and experiences within the field. Plus, being a doctor is a great achievement because I doubt anyone would actually be a doctor. No offense but a lot of people want to do other majors like buisness and nursing, not saying that it’s bad or anything, but we need more doctors in the US especially with the future epidemics. My cousin is entering his fellowship as a surgeon and my sister who is a nuse practitioner wouldnt even dare to go to Medical school because of all the tough stress and high GPA to get into those schools. Also, the classes are extremely difficult too. The amount of science classes that they have to take compared to nursing, dental hygiene, etc are astronomical. These people need more respect in the communities because they are risking their lives getting sued and responsible for their own mistakes, and live in high tensions every time they perform a surgery. And doctors could specialize in anything. I dont think anybody would do eye surgery as an easy career. It takes a MD and people take advantage of these laser eye surgery. It’s so tough to have that enduring mindset and the pay does make up for the investment for being in that school. Respect ✊ for all doctors.

I would like to argue years later that nutrition deserves a somewhat higher tier due to more remote options and more options overall from government to research to consulting to private practice

Respiratory Therapist belongs on A tier. A nurse may have 1 - 3 patients assigned but an RRT may have a dozen, all requiring individual care and treatments. In the recent pandemic, it wasn't just the nurses that were key players!

[@chelles2ndhalf836]

I’ve been a nurse for over 25 years. My hats off to RTs you guys do hard work and I’m glad to see you but Where do we have 1-3 patients? You Must mean icu where the nurse has to care for critically ill patients head to toe and all the body systems. Otherwise I have never encountered a nurse having 3 patients. Show me that job and I’m applying.

[@scottbarnett3566]

Nurses with 1-3 -- where??

Hi! I've been binge watching your videos but sadly there hasn't been a single mention about the two degrees that I've been trying to find some insight on. Those being public administration and geography (especially human, cultural and urban geography). Have you thought about making a tier list video for social sciences (as in sociology, social psychology, political science, public administration... basically careers having to do with society)?

[@ShaneHummus]

Hey Nimi! I might make one in the future. Stay tuned

[@latishatisha1486]

Hi I have an MPA Degree. I regret it because I couldn’t get a job in that field since most places wanted experience. AFTER graduation I discovered that a number of schools had a MPA/MSW dual program. If I had the opportunity to do it again I would do the dual program. Hope my opinion helps.

Why confusing?

My personal anecdote, for what it’s worth. I will graduate dental school with almost no debt and expect to earn >250k/year as a new grad (I’ve received more than one job offer with compensation structured accordingly).

Doctor is more D/F tier. The medical students with the highest grades often go into the "lifestyle" specialties, but the average doctor is going to spend 60-80 hrs stressed out for the rest of their life.

Hate to say this, but it’s true because I have experienced it and witnessed it firsthand. Almost all healthcare jobs tout a big salary, but the level of stress you put yourself through is going to take a huge toll on your body. My dad was a pharmacist in a retail store and he was miserable. I see too many healthcare workers having to completely sacrifice their own health and livelihood just to keep their job. My dad would often have to skip lunch or would just eat some chips or something to keep himself going, but rarely ever did he get to stop and eat a good lunch. Pharmacy can be grueling as most other healthcare jobs are as well. I think people don’t realize how stressful it is until after all the schooling when they get out there in the real work world and the stress of managing the workflow in a busy pharmacy hits them like a ton of bricks. School has its stress too, but I don’t think it compares to the real demands of the job you must face each day. It can really be eye opening because studying and taking tests is actually the fun part. I don’t want to discourage anyone, but I would really think hard and explore all options before jumping into a healthcare field before you really know in detail what it all entails. It’s not really like what some of the TV shows depict it to be.
