      The career offices at many colleges are really of no help!
      They don't provide much needed information, education nor awareness on the many different professions and career paths out there.

      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

      I ended up retiring after 30 years in Corporate America, but I started working for this company when I was very young. I'm thankful for my retirement benefits, but started a second career because I'm far too young for Social Security benefits. Plus, because my home is almost paid off, my goal is to work some, but travel more...something I havent been able to do. Not earning my corporate salary taught me I can live comfortably on far less money. I plan to purchase a car after paying off my home, but time has taught me I can live without a luxury vehicle as previously planned. I'm loving my life now knowing everything worked out just fine. ❤

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.

    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.

Unfortunately anything involving medicine is expensive these days, and even 2 years of a master's program will cost you over $100k when all expenses are involved (it's not easy working while doing your master's because you'll have a lot of schoolwork). But thankfully she was able to pay off her loans in a couple years due to her high salary - good for her! If only we can make medical education much cheaper so more people are incentivized to study it.

    I wish I could do the same as her but I had very poor grades in highschool.

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.

      Seriously! At my school a lot of people dropped the major, especially because of Organic Chemistry. I have never seen people look as defeated as those Organic Chemistry kids

      I took a honor chemistry class in high school and I was barely passing in any of the class tests. Then at the end of the year, there was a state regent test. I got one of those practice regent test exam and did self study one week and got 90’s on the exam. I wonder if I didn’t do well cause of my chemistry teacher or was it just me?

      ​@@vincentnnycpossibly your chem teacher graded or tested unfairly. Year to year in various subjects my grades could vary significantly depending on whether a teacher liked me or not.

    these numbers don't add up remotely. gross pay on 210k with no taxes would only be ~ 8k a check or ~16k a month. even if everything else except the savings and investments was added to a credit card as an 'expense', after taxes and including pretax contributions to a 401k, she'd be hard-pressed to contribute 14k towards 'savings' unless it was a one time transfer from checking to a brokerage or something. misleading graphic either way...

      That’s not true! My household income is around 150k and we bring in around 10k after taxes.

      I made 210,000 pretax based on my 2022 W2s! This year I've picked up over $40,000 in overtime year to date and am on track to exceed my 2022 income. But I believe we went based on my verifiable income in 2022 rather than what I'm projected to make.
      In September 2023, I was paid 24 hours of hazard pay on top of picking up a lot of overtime and received three pay checks, which is why my monthly income that month reflects more than what I make on a typical month.
      CNBC did their due diligence with verifying everything but I hope my comment explains the graphic more.

    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. AAs are fairly new in FL, and under the strict guidance of Physician anesthesiologist they’ve nice to work with. Though, I’ve only worked with (1) bc our facility only hired (1).
