Making $210K Working At A Hospital - Without Med School | Millennial Money

Growing up working on her parents' farm in upstate New York, Chabely Rodriguez always wanted more for herself. She wanted to go into medicine but was concerned of the high costs of medical school. Then she learned about becoming an anesthesiologist assistant, which only requires a master's degree. She's now making more than $200,000 a year in the profession and has paid off all her student loans. She hopes to work fewer hours in the next few years and devote more time to traveling the world.

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!

They also don’t have the same medical background and training in acute/critical care as anesthesiologists or CRNAs. Not sure I’d want an AA doing my anesthesia especially for a complex surgery. There is a reason they can’t practice independently

[@triiii1303]

It’s competitive but not incredibly competitive. I’d say it’s on par with the average DO school in terms of competitivity. Get a 3.5~3.6, have experience in the pre med extracurricular categories, apply broadly, and you’ll likely get at least one acceptance. their MCAT matriculation averages are comparable to DO schools as well, if not slightly lower. Anyone with in reason could accomplish this goal if they applied themselves.

[@saadmurt9386]

​@@Doriginal5they don't have the same medical training due to years of experience not because of schooling.

I don’t like how this seems to minimize CAA training. “Only” 2 years. First of all, this masters program is at least 27 months, which is over 2 years. Second, the program is SEVEN semesters with no time off at all the entire time. Medical school is 8 semesters. CAA is not some get rich quick scheme. The CAA programs have fail out rates up to 25% per class. Clinicals are often 55+ hours a week while in training. This is not some shortcut like they are trying to say. The work needed to do this should not be glossed over.

[@AS-kq7hw]

All this after her bachelor's (which I assume needed to be science-based). So "only" a 2-year program that would take anyone at least 6 years to complete from start to finish. Which isn't that far from actual medical school. So it is a little misleading.

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 im a nurse as well but I do day shift, 7a-7p so no it doesn’t mess with sleep at all. But nights absolutely would. I personally prefer 12’s so it’s more days off a week.

[@mickylord21]

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

PA school can be expensive though and you need some prior clinical working experience in order to be accepted, like CNA, LPN/rn, EMT, medical assisting, etc

[@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.

Buying an individual stock is a fair investment but its performance level can’t generate high dividends. Diversification is the secret to optimal performance, that’s why I have my interest set on options based on projected growth and performance.

[@yung1448]

Good approach; diversifying is really key to finance growth. can you explain in full the lnvestment options you’re into, I’m curious•

[@svenoliver6040]

When it comes to finance growth, it’s wrong to engage in a single option. I suggest diversifying your portfolio into various options with high performance coupled with the experience and aid of a finance Pro will generate bigger returns and balance volatility.

[@svenoliver6040]

”Do not lay your eggs in one basket.” I engage on various options (real estate, real assets, index/mutual funds, ETFs, annuities, potential stocks and cry-pto, IDOs and many others) with the aid of my finance pro, and so far have acquired so much returns (amount is confidentiaI)
