@sohd best of luck to you, and congrats on your graduation from HS! I hope you have a fruitful and enjoyable career. Stay on course and you can do great things. Side note. I'm a mom if someone not much older than you and I would like to give you the same advice I gave my child. Save for a rainy day and be greatful if you never have to tap into the funds. A high yield savings account emergency fund is your friend, don't keep it in a regular savings accounts. There are plenty of no fee and no minimum banks out there that are FDIC insured, but choose one of the more well known ones. We spend money on frivolous things, so take some of your earnings and save towards your future. If you start early you can retire early, and you'll thank me when you're enjoying a drink on the beach lol

Or become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA); so you would be able to work in all 50 states; both great jobs, but slightly higher pay and able to live/work in all 50 states. Recommend if interested, to look at the paths to CRNA, AA, and MD anesthesiologist and compare, and shadow someone in each profession to see which is best.

[@CAALifestyle]

@@CarlosMataShow As a premed, the CAA pathway would be two years compared to restarting with the nursing pathway. If I went the CRNA route it may have been another 5 years before I would be in the position I am today (take the nursing pre-reqs, get a nursing BSN, work in the ICU, and an extra year of the doctorate that has been added in recently). This an incredible option for people like myself who are on the premed track. I can start working the job I want to work, make a great living, have months of paid time off, and invest early. Also to clarify W2 CRNAs at my job would be paid the same as me!

Im 42yo with a GED, started as a production worker, year later into maintenance, then maintenance automation, Lead Maintenance to Automation Controls, Engineering tech, Manufacturing Engineer, and now im a Engineering & Maintenance Supervisor making 180k a year..No loans, no degree or high school diploma, only OTJ training but im hard working and love technology..The choice and future is yours !!!

[@ren3171]

I wish I could do the same as her but I had very poor grades in highschool. My first two years of highschool I was miserable and didn't care or try, I didn't think I would make it to adulthood to worry about college anyway. My last two years of highschool I had switched schools and was actually really happy and determined to succeed but the classes were much harder than my old school and I lacked foundational skills, I was struggling to adjust. After graduation I thought I had a hang of things and decided to try out college after all. I did 2 semesters of community college but I overestimated what I could do and overwhelmed myself with too many classes and a full time, mandatory overtime job and did very poorly for those 2 semesters before I stopped going. There is no way I could get scholarships with such a terrible track record even though everything is different now from back then, I finally have perspective and know my limitations and I know I could succeed and balance my school life better. I cant afford to go get a bachelors in chemistry and then a masters. Maybe there is some way to do this but I see myself just loosing what I managed to save up and still drowning in debt.

Huh? You didn't know people make high income at hospitals lol?

That's why medical insurance is so expensive in the US. Because an assistant at hospital makes over 200K. If that does not change, healthcare in America will eventually be destroyed.

I also chose the health field but I became a registered Nurse and my starting salary is over $100,000 and I only work 3 days (36 hours) a week total with only a bachelors degree. Im from New Jersey btw. I thought about becoming a Physician Assistant but I felt like you have more options as an RN/BSN

[@jasminecontreras7341]

Nice! Do those 12 hour shifts mess with sleep schedule throughout the week? I’ve heard nurses complain about the 12 hour shifts messing with their circadian rhythms. I’m guessing that’s only if they have night shifts?

[@Yy-gl8ku]

@@jasminecontreras7341 it does but That would be everyone who works a night shift. Nurses, Emergency room doctors, surgeons, cops, and everyone else. For me what helps is eating a very light, easy to digest but protein filled meal that gets me through the shift. I don’t plan on working night shifts forever though. I just got graduated and started working as a nurse last year. After a couple of years I’m going to try to switch to day shifts only. That is one of the awesome things about being a nurse, we have options.

​@jasminecontreras7341 I used to work this shift. Very unsustainable in the long term but doable for a while especially while young

[@russian2k]

Watching this video makes this job seem like is an ASMR. Lo-fi, low key job. The reality is the exact opposite. The risks this job has on a hourly basis is way higher than 99.9% of the population can manage. If she is getting paid $200k/ year as an employee that means her skills are providing minimal $20 million of value per year. This includes, but not limited to, 24 hr shifts. Multiple 6-8 he cases per week. Managing numerous life threatening emergencies. This job is one of the highest stress jobs in the medical field. ER/ Trauma Nursing takes a back seat compared to this job stress level.

New York and many other states do not consider Anesthesiologist Assistants qualified to practice; so she’s couldn’t work there if she wanted to. I am a Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice (DNAP-CRNA), we can practice in all 50 states and 30 states independently.
