must you be based in the US to do this course?
- The video discusses the best associate degrees that can lead to stable, high-paying jobs.
- The first recommended degree is Nursing, which offers good job prospects and high salaries.
- Dental Hygienist is another lucrative career option that can be completed in two to three years.
- Physical Therapy Assistant and Respiratory Therapy are highlighted as careers with high job satisfaction and good earning potential.
- Radiologic Technology and Occupational Therapy Assistant are also mentioned as rewarding healthcare professions.
- The video also mentions technology-related degrees, such as Cyber Security and Computer Science, as well-paying and in-demand fields.
- Diagnostic Medical Sonography is mentioned as a highly rewarding healthcare career that utilizes ultrasound technology.
- The pros and cons of each degree are discussed, including job prospects, salary, advancement opportunities, physical demands, and required qualifications.
- The importance of staying updated in the technology field is emphasized.
So basically this is all medical related careers, what if someone do not like medical career related?
@@Jbeats37 I feel medical related jobs are safer on terms a ai replacement, ai might help those jobs but wont do them completly
@@Jbeats37Just get into medical and tech
I’m a nurse. I don’t recommend it but you will always have a good paying job.
Do you do travel nursing? You might enjoy it better.
I here high amount of negativity, I'm not surprised.
@@Monika-xy4ds travel nursing often doesn’t really pay much or anymore if you have rent/mortgage at home. Plus it’s a sacrifice to constantly change jobs and move.
@@Monika-xy4ds I am a travel nurse.
@@fixinfkinsandwiches6183 Can you do locus/local travel nursing?
I got my associates in applied computer studies and I’ve seen about 7-15 invitations to interview a month due to it. The jobs start around 50k a year.
Where did you obtain your degree?
@@joeyg2182community college
Yeah he's not lying you cam make really good money. I was making like 55k my second job. I got fired for cussing at the COO of the company, but thats beside the point.
@@Justins-handlewhyd u cuss at him ?
What’s the curriculum for an associates in applied computer studies? Hard to find much info on that specific degree, sounds interesting though!
I was recently in the hospital for 11 days. 3 out of 4 of the Nurses assigned to me each day were male! They all seemed very happy with their jobs.
My husband is an RN in the Operating Room. He loves it. Now that he's traveling he's earning a 6 fig salary. But when he was local - he still made great money. And gets a lot of recognition for his work from patients and colleagues. And for me personally, during a very long health issue, you could not ask for a better partner than the one who always chose my surgical team (from Dr to scrub to tech) because he had a personal working relationship with each of them. A very tough career, but very rewarding as well.
Male nurses are great providers, husbands and dads. Their salaries allow them to support and sustain a family.
SHANE ! can i suggest, when you make top 10 countdown videos, you should start at number 10, then go to no.1 at the end. It's more fun that way. I like to guess ! 😊
Brother than you this video was very helpful
I was a male cna and I got paid around 17 an hour with benefits aswell and you could sign up for a double whenever there was a blank spot in the shift book. I will say male nurses tend to get asked to do more because you mostly work with women and many residents are complete dependant and can weigh up to 200lbs. You have to actually like helping, talking, and dealing with high stress environments
This man network is A+ he always know somebody in every field
Yeah and he must make boat load of money. Cause he also has a degree in every field. He even went to pharmaceutical school
your videos are a big help to me! thank you.
Happy to help!
I am surprised Radiation therapy was not included on this list. I might be biased though as I am currently in the program, however I do feel it deserved a spot in this video.
He covered it in his last video like this. 😊
How many years is the RT program? I have teenage kids and I don’t want them to end up with school debt.
@@jasoncarter43432 years
@@jasoncarter4343you could look into any school for imaging/radiology an associate degree will get you jobs in hospital. Also a respiratory therapist
ARRT accredited schools are typically 70 credit - 4 semesters, including summer sessions.
Could you give your opinion on the expert rating certificates?
Imagine the number of people that would have been helped if this video existed back then.
Fr, got an associates in business, and a BA in communications that I often question myself for getting
Thank you for this !!! I appreciate this ive been stuck now i think i know 🙏🏽
If you look to make 60k and above as a PTA, which I’m not a pta yet but I work alongside them, just know, that you will probably have to work at multiple locations. Maybe full time inpatient and per diet outpatient on the weekends. Just my advice
My recommendation is to attempt to divine the long term demand of a given profession. I too am a pharmacist and I have to go back in time more than 20 years to find a year I made less than I do now in nominal terms. Prices have gone up about 70% since the year 2000 but my salary hasn’t really changed. Had I known so many pharmacy schools were going to be built, I would have chosen a different profession.
Are you going back to school? If you could re pick what would you pick?
I just finished my associate degree in electronics and computer technology. I'm also studying for some IT certifications. My job prospects with this degree are looking great! The entry level jobs for this degree are good and mid/late career pay is good too.
Smart ! 70k at least
So do you want to do something between the 2 fields?
@@josephdaquila2479 Hey whats up! I currently work in IT Support. I was always more interested in the computer stuff than electronics. Although having electronics background helps me in IT. I wasn't interested in pursuing engineering technician career paths. I'm currently in a Linguistics bachelors degree program and will go to law school after!!
What certificates in IT did you do ?
@@josephdaquila2479 Hey I'm leaning more towards the IT stuff. Electronics classes were interesting but there isn't much room for growth for electronics technologist/technician, Having electronics background helps in IT tho
Nice to see RT and OTA make the list finally. The numbers are a bit skewed though but thats expected. Im an RT and my girlfriend is an OTA and our pay is swapped. RT is hard to get an accurate number especially because covid really brought our field to light. I started as a new grad RT about a year into covid. I was given a $5 pay raise to my base rate after 1 month because my hospital readjusted the new grad rate by $5 an hour. And now 2.5 years into the field, working in the same city I make $12 an hour on my base rate than what I was originally paid as a new grad. Dont recommend RT though because respect in the field varies by hospital and state, some places were nebulizer jockies, other places we intubate, do procedures, and doctors actually ask us for our recommendations. The field is finally starting to get some traction though, we even no have an Advance Practice Respiratory Therapist position that was created during Covid as a parallel to Nurse Practitioner.
Is RT jobs physically demanding? I was accepted into a program but I do have minor back issues. I'm accommodated at 50 lbs. or less
Hi Shane, I just recently found your channel as I’m a grade 11 student trying to decide which programs I should apply to next year, and I’ve found your videos very helpful. I want to ask what the difference is between a bachelor of commerce versus a bachelor of business administration. I’m more so wondering if I majored in let’s say, finance, and there are different finance programs that earn you a BBA and others that get you a BCOM, are one of those bachelors better or more prestigious? And what are the main differences between the content and career paths? Thanks
It just depends on the career path you choose. Don't get hung up on the end, that is a long way off and you have no idea what will happen between now and then. Make sure you are consulting with an advisor or mentor to ensure you are taking the right classes for your end goal and that end goal may change from year to year if not semester in the beginning. Good luck!!
Yeah you are worlds apart, you have to wait until your at least on the same page and understand the difference before you think about the end. As you take classes you’ll find your way but steer toward AI snd machine learning. So Def not business administration stay far away from there, that will be gone by the time you graduate.
@@alanamarie8669what do you mean?
Edit- last part?
@@fujimizuki9727 anything administrative- is going to be done by AI in 3 years time. You have a ways to go though, don’t get hung up on it now. Do your general studies snd pay attention to what is in demand. Administrative task - even data analytics can be done by ChatGPT, so that far in the future things will be so different.
The animation is so funny lol but this is true ive looked into a few of these i should have went for the AAS instead of the AA.. in Chicago some companies partner with community college departments to give internships to students for example the associate of marketing or accounting, companies will train and hire you
I'm in the same boat.. I got jipped thinking i was getting the AAS... Ended up with the AS due to poor councils
Could you do a video over ux/ui design?
Currently trying to become a Physical Therapy Assistant, I have an A in medical terminology, and did good in some other classes but I had to drop Anatomy class 😢 I actually tried too but it’s a hard fucking class. Might try again though, does anyone have any other career ideas I could side step into? Or other associates degrees that I should try out. Currently the back up plan is to become a Ski Park manager 😂
Radiation therapists only need to do 2 years of schooling and make a whole lot more than Radiologic Techs. So not quite sure why he didn't add this one.
And you can further your career by becoming a medical dosimetrist once you become a radiation therapist.
What do radiation therapist do?
My cousin is a nurse and makes 6 figures, but he finished his masters and is a Psych NP
Hi Shane I would like to ask you what path I should take in learning and applying AI in my pharmacy profession? Many thanks for your videos.
what do you think about an health information tech???
Hi Shane! I have an AA from right out of college, and now - years later I am earning an AS in Data Science because of a lot of reasons (10 years not working due to a serious illness that has been "transplanted out of my body and given a new part". ;) And I am now 51. But I am still seeing the requirement of a BS.
SO, my question is - Do I really need to get BS in Data Science now? Or can I get a BS in something more related-Ish. Psychology, English, Spanish etc... Between my age and work history gap, I really need to get as many opportunities as possible that someone in my position can take advantage of. And I really think a BS is the only route. Am I wrong?
1:00 why you roast me like that man, not cool
1 degree that you did not mention in healthcare does involve technology / engineering it is a biomedical equipment technology. It the the repair and maintenance of all medical equipment in the hospitals. Some work for companies. There are certs also and someone can easily make 60k with a 2 year degree. Companies who hire call them Field Service Engineer. The job involve electronics, mechanics, hydraulics, autonomy, physiology, a little chemistry and govern regulations. There are an average of 40 pieces of equipment per patient that is used by the hospital if I'm thinking correctly. There is a shortage and most people don't know about this occupation.
Might as well just focus on engineering or IT. Cause you can also do cyber security with a 2 year degree depending on your skill set and they make quite boat load of money.
Very based guy
PTA and COTA are good careers to look into
Dental hygienist seems GREAT!!! but does no-one talk about how extremely competitive it is to enter a Deal hygiene Program .
Ooh yeah at columbus state they have a two year wait smh
Yes! When I looked into dental hygiene, you have to take 2 years worth of classes just to get in the hygiene program which is also an additional 2 years in my state of AZ. There’s also a wait list for the hygiene program as well.
Yep and that’s what detours me. I’m an adult student. I don’t have time to waste. Imagine taking all the prerequisites but you can’t even get into the program. Who wants to wait an additional 2-3 years? That’s ridiculous. I am considering just getting an associates degree and then transferring to a 4 year university into a hygiene program.
Off topic from the video but were your parents strict on grades as a kid?
I have my undergrad in exercise science. My advice is don’t get this degree if u don’t have a scholarship or full ride, don’t get it to be a coach or personal trainer because u can be those careers without it, don’t get this degree at the undergraduate level for money because there isn’t any jobs that pay decent and don’t get if u don’t plan on becoming a DPT, MSOT or SLP. PTA and COTA are careers you can look into too😊. Just don’t go into debt for this degree. Not worth it
Can you make a video about Health Information Technology
I'm considering getting an Accounting or LPN associate, Accounting is easier but the best job prospect is an a bookkeeper barely making$20/hr, so maybe nursing but I'm not really passionate about it and see it just as a way to make money and leave my current job. Im pretty introverted and want a job where the day to day isn't too stressful (I want to work on the administrative side or just giving medication) and I can eventually move to remote working. What would y'all recommend?
I’m an introvert and learned that radiologic technology is good for introverts and it’s not as stressful as nursing. So I applied to my local college that has the program . Plus I heard you can have flexible hours ! Hope this helps
@@she.ina255 hows the program going for you, and is this heavy on math?
@@davj8050 oh I’m actually waiting on getting accepted in the program , but I heard it’s not math heavy just basic formulas .
@@she.ina255 hey I’m interested in that what exactly do you. How long does it take. You’re going for the 2 year program right
I’m in community college right now majoring in business administration with a concentration in accounting as a freshman. I’m a little confused can you get an accounting degree or certificate two years?
yo Shane i have a question tho, should i opt for computer science degree first then masters in engineering or the other way round, and start with computer engineering
Watch this first!
Why you SHOULDN’T go to graduate school!
th-cam.com/video/KIFDzIYX9RI/w-d-xo.html
Why didn't you put Radiation therapist on the list? I remember you once put it in top 3 health degrees
I have an Associate degree in electric engineering; in Puerto Rico I have worked as an electrical distribution inspector, engineering assistant, engineering technologist and project inspector. I just want to know how much this degree pays and what positions can I apply in USA
can you talk about fin tech pls
Well...Nursing is not 2 years, there's a year of prerequisites.
Yeh, but you can do these very easily. They are one if not the most easiest prerequisite needed, comparing to forensic science, medical, and engineering, and much more.
I don't know why I was waiting to see my associate's degree. I got my AAS in Surgical Technology.
That's like preparing surgical equipment & helping others scrub in right? How do you like it & how is the pay?
@@8UMadBro8 It was fun. Really depends on where and who you work with. Many doctors can be jerks and the pay would start in the low 20s per hour for my area.
My best friend is making bank she’s a travel surg tech and needless to say y’all save lives just as much as doctors
@@copiouscat from an associates? Or did she do more schooling
@@davj8050 just an Associates and clinicals for surg tech. She’s had contracts across the states never less than 3k a week (that’s how the pay is structured) plus housing and food stipends and flights paid for
is being a part time help desk IT specialist this summer sound good to do?
@Richard Lewis i would like to know if there is any possibility for me to apply, despite not being a US citizen.
For physical therapy , u recommend taking kinesiology right?
Please do we have a program like Management information system ?
And is it worth it ?
U got me good with the gf joke
Shane would you make a list for those who are physically disabled
That physical therapy assistant salary was way higher than reality for most.
Hello shan im from morroco moving to the US soon i have associate degree from morroco in specialized technicien in commerce marketing what i can do with that out there and in which category belongs too ???
answer me pls???
Shane i have a Associate and Associate with Transfer in Administration Of Justice. My goal is to be a Parole Deputy but i gots to get expierence in Probation or Correctional but could not pass the written test. What else would you reccommend? Also in College persuing my Bachelors degree in Criminology. Thinking should i switch my Major
Useless degree
Hello sir. I didn't find a video like you so beneficial. My associate is Economics but my bachelor will be Computer engineering. Will I run into problem because of this and can't get a job? Does employers care about this? Please answer me like someone you care about.🙏 And do you suggest me sir to let go of bachelor and don't finish it? Do you consider it not worth it??🥺
Dental hygiene is great BUT physically demanding, YOU WILL WRECK YOUR BACK and waiting periods for hygiene programs is nuts
You also wreck your back doing low paid physical labor in the summer heat. So I’ll take sitting in a chair under AC over that any day
I’m deciding between either computer science or nurse ? I’m joining college soon . Need help and share your thoughts
Go into nursing if you want financial stability. Comp sci grads don't have job stability they just get to brag about high salaries. When that eventual layoff comes you may never get you position in tech back but no one ever tells you that.
i find it weird that men who follow you are against becoming RNs in 2023. Nursing is extremely popular with men in the west coast especially in California because of the high salaries. new grads in my department start around 117-120k plus benefits. Many male nurses make more than female nurses that is a known fact. many advance to CRNAs and NPs within 2-3yrs and double their salary CRNAs in california start around 250-300k plus benefits, and NPs anywhere from 130-200k easy
Nursing is GROSS!!!
@EPSGplayer Lmao have fun working at Walmart. Nursing is honestly better paid than many other jobs, and tons of options outside patient care.
@@kanegrey7697what are some options for people who CANNOT deal w things like infections, blood, etc? Like there's zero chance of interacting w that sruff
@@CrystalBbyUSA I want to know that to
We need more male nurses. Salaries might go up if there were more men in the field.
5:20 YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!
Hi. I would want to know is a game designing associate degree worth it?
👍🏾
My ex wife RN made 84k her first year worked 40 hours a week!
What about an associates degree in information systems?
I’m working as a web engineer with 3 years of experience so far. Is it worth going back to get an Associate’s / Bachelor’s degree?
It depends on your end goal.
In my opinion, a field worth an honorable mention is mortuary science, which requires a two-year degree. Everyone will die eventually, making the job stagnant. Few have the courage to handle corpses.
It might be good in some aspects but the pay is low :(
You cut the best part “what the hell is even that”
Is there anything in nursing that's for introverts
I was wondering if an associates degree was necessary the other day.
13:33
I can't see myself doing any of these :(
Given what you know of the healthcare industry and the last few years- how can you recommend it? This crap isn't done....give it a year or two- it will be back and much worse.
You're paranoid, relax.
I'm having trouble deciding between Rad Tech and PTA
Not PTA. Many companies are moving away from hiring them. The pay is also stagnating and will eventually decrease
PTA is great and i highly recommend it. very high demand unlike what guy said above. Theres actually a shortage just like in nursing. So landing a job in pt will be easy and there’s many niches you can go into to further specialize. Also if you want to become a DPT they have bridge programs.
@@Friendly_Boo idk I'm interested in Rad-Tech a bit more.
I’m pta and I personally know a rad tech well and I can I say confidently that pta job is generally more fun but also more stressful. Rad tech is also a great career.
@@xXJoker888Xx How is it more fun compared to Rad-Tech?
How about firefighting?
It could do without the wojacks tbh
As a PTA we are definitely not making that much
What are yall making then
@@nashoniaross3177 like 50-65k average 70+ would be on the higher end.
Go to HH
Where are PTAs making 90K + lol
computer science is da best!!!! or engineering depends
no radiation therapy?
Wojack working overtime
He forgot about radiation therapist
#5 on the list or is a radiation therapist different?
@@yolardh1812 yes it is different search up the salary and the difference between the two there is a good amount of difference and I think radiation therapist is more worth your time if you planning to do one of the two
I feel like massage therapy should get some kind of mention as a licensure program. Very low barrier to entry, high job satisfaction and meaning, 50-80k (80k is a bit lucky but people rarely make more)
How long is program ?
@jfros9794 a year or less, depends on the program of choice or part time vs. Full time
It's very hard on the body. 14 years in and my arms feel like they're going to fall off. I wish I would have become an esthetician instead.
Rdh make real good money
I'm a RN... you will have to wipe 💩💩💩💩💩 if you don't have a CNA. Nickname for nurse is "Hospital Maid" 🏥
Not Nurses working in administration, teaching, or case management, clinics/urgent cares etc.
has anyone asked about human factors engineering I won’t get offended about the truth 😅
I work in healthcare as a male and you will be decriminated against!
Im a nurse. I dont recommend it at all...
Why?
why
Because it’s a high stress job. You are taking care of at least 5 very sickly patients who could die during your shift if you are not constantly monitoring or assessing their condition. Imagine trying to fulfill all the doctors orders, talking to family or patients, coordinating all the care for a patient, multiply that times at least 5 patients. You can go nuts. Sometimes, you cannot even take your lunch break, if you do, it’s only for 30 minutes, and when you come back on the floor, work piles up on you. Sometimes, patients need something all at the same time, sometimes you are in the middle of a blood transfusion, and another keeps calling you for intense pain. Then, you get phone calls from patients family all wanting to talk to the RN for status of their loved ones. Not to mention, crabby, cat-fighting co-workers coz they’re all stressed too. Then, doctors yell at you too for any delayed or missed information because you’re just too busy doing everything at the same time. Mind you guys, you are on your feet, walking around, standing, lifting or what have you for 12 hours straight. On top of that, you have documentation to finish before your shift ends. Then, if you missed something, everyone is quick to jump on you blaming you for this and that. Nowadays, patients on the floor are sicker than they were a decade ago. It’s harder to be a nurse these days. Patient care bedside nursing is brutal!!! Too much abuse on your body. That’s why there’s always a nursing shortage, and this thing will never go away. No one can stand it even it pays well, there’s only so much you can take. There are millions of licensed nurses but they are not working as nurses. Usually, there’s an influx of new grads, all idealistic and excited to start working, but within not even a year, they quit nursing. I have high respect for nurses who are able to withstand and survive this profession. They truly are one of a kind. It’s definitely not for everybody. There are other ways to earn money, easier ways than nursing. This is not for a faint of heart. It takes someone who can see past all the gory stuff and genuine compassion to help even if everything seems like an uphill battle all the time, every time you go to work, it will really test your perseverance to take in all the shit, no pun intended. Most of the time, even patients themselves can be mean to you, physically and verbally, and don’t seem to understand and appreciate the fact that you’re merely trying to help them. But you shouldn’t take it personally and still move on as if nothing happened. This is no joke, office jobs are cake walk. That’s why whenever I hear people complaining about their office jobs, they’re no where near the level of physical, emotional, psychological stress nurses go through each working day. This is why nurses usually only work 3 days a week because they need to recuperate literally from all the stress. And then people in administrative have the audacity to belittle the work that nurses do, thinking they are overpaid, yeah right, just try working as a nurse, and they will find out what’s worse than a nightmare!!! For you guys who don’t have a clue, try at least volunteering in a nursing unit at a hospital, even better, get certified as a nursing assistant called a CNA. It’s a 6-8 week class, then take a state certification exam. Then work as a CNA either hospital or nursing home. Do yourself a favor before you spend all your time, energy and money on a Registered Nursing program only to quit before a year into your nursing job. TRUST ME ON THIS!!! BELIEVE WHAT I SAY, and you’ll thank me later. Adios, sayonara, capiche! Need I say more? 😂
why are these all medical?
Because they have the best associates degree
I am a PTA we do not make 91k per year, that is false 😂
how much would a pta make? im thinking about pta school
How much do you make? I’ve been considering this field.
No business degrees this time, Shane? 😢
I think most employers want a bachelor degree minimum
@Monika Shane has mentioned business degrees in these tops before. Project Management, for example.
@@CristianCortos I guess they did not make it in the top 10 this time for associate degrees...
I’d say go for it man. I’m doing it right now and it’s worth it. If you earn your associates in business. You could always go to university and still get your business administration degree. Good luck.
First
