ER FTW! Leave the bitch work to the floors. And OP do nursing only if you want to if not, you will regret it.

I am a murse with a business background, let me give you the perfect road to success:

1) Go to RN school
2) Work as an RN and finish up a BSN
3) Go into medical sales
4) Work in medical sales and go to school for your MBA
5) Profit big time in medical sales
6) This is the best of both worlds, you have clinical experience and business experience, you can find a job anywhere and will be highly sought after, not to mention $$

Finance is a saturated market brah. You have to go to an ivy or something to be making 100k in that field. To make 100k in any field is possible but you have to work extremely hard.

And I don't know why you're trippin about your age, let's say you did become a doctor. you'd graduate at like age 32. So you'd still be working for what? 30-40 years? Someone else already said it, but age is just a number. Do whatever the fukk you want!

If I went to a regular school, what can I expect from Finance

What kind of company do you work for, and why do you hate it? Are you in public accounting? Have you thought about switching to personal finance or something else? There are lots of possibilities.

maybe anywhere between $50-70,000? I would be lucky if I get $70k

Hey brah if you live in Vancouver you could take advantage of the real estate market, I know some brokers who make 500,000 + at pretty young ages, the older guys are bringing in millions.

However, you have to consider the income potential with Finance. It's much greater than Nursing. Plus the job is better.

The income bracket also sounds greater than a nurse. No wonder nursing is female dominated

Which would require you to study Finance

Finance:
Surefire way to make decent to GREAT money

I considered that. However, I heard the x-ray tech market is very saturated.

i get my schedule a month in advance

less than 6 months out of school and about 80% of my classmates have jobs

Currently working as a staff accountant at a rather large biotech corporation. I just have to either start studying for the CPA or go for my MBA if I expect to make some decent money. Don't expect to make crap with a BS in Accounting without being a CPA or going MBA route.

After reading this thread, I've come to the sure conclusion that the op is far too stupid to succeed in either field.

Which is partially correct.

However, there is a lot one can do with enough drive.

overall, x-ray is just a small step under nursing as far as pay goes, except where i work we get paid the same or more

and that's just with regular x-ray. CT, MRI, Ultrasound, etc pay goes up even more

job is easy as hell

90% of exams are less than 5 pictures, almost everybody is digital now so there is no dark room/processing, the pictures show right up on the computer

i get the patient, take a few pictures, and tell them to GTFO

I think the pay might corespond to

- the cost of the procedures. Since medical imaging tends to be quite profitable for hospitals, they pay medical imaging staff more?

-The radiation exposer. You are shortening your lifespan

-???what else

I started studying accounting on the advice of my ex's uncle, who is a CEO at a local manufacturing company. He basically said to get the CPA and MBA desiganations. I will be done with my bachelor's this quarter, but will need grad school to get a job and the CPA. I would like to start in public accounting and see how I like it.
