I myself am a Nurse Anesthetist and I absolutely LOVE my job and yes it pays VERY WELL! My first job as a Nurse Anesthetists I made about 150K a year. I'm now making about 235k yearly but I must say that I've been working as a Nurse Anesthetists four 25 YEARS! It's a very interesting and rewarding job and I love it so HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you really want to pursue it!
I’m a Physician Assistant, yes we work under a doctor’s supervision however they only need to be a phone call away. Many PAs run their own clinics and manage all healthcare for their patients, the doctors at some places only sign or see 5% of the most complex patient charts. I graduated in 2016, in CA. Starting salary was $125,000. Any time I worked over 8 hrs in a day I made $90/hr. It helped to have a good salary because of my $175,000 student loan debt I accrued. It’s now 2021 and I’ll have them paid this year even not working for over a year now because of the pandemic. Also was easy to save for retirement. One good thing to know not all healthcare fields give good healthcare benefits or maternity leave, mine gave neither. It’s a good career, but definitely hard to get into. Now has more competition than MD school.
Thank you for your input! Quick question though, what was your pathway (majors,masters, experiences, etc) did you have before becoming a physician assistant? I am currently a life science student deciding my major so any input would be greatly appreciated!
I love NPs. I worked in a mental health clinic as a psychotherapist and the psychiatric NPs were so much more approachable and team-focused than many of the psychiatrists. As for therapists, our salaries can really suck unless we go into private practice.
I’m an occupational therapist. It requires a masters degree. I make 92K annually working 4 10 hour shifts a week. I have two other jobs that I work as needed (PRN). They each pay $50 an hour.
None of these videos talk about these. As an RCIS in a mixed Invasive Cardiovascular Lab/EP Lab I made about $95K my first year out of a 2-year school without incurring any debt to get that degree. Much better ROI vs being a PA... Now I'm working toward Cardiovascular Perfusionist.
Even imaging (radiotherapist nuclear medicine, sonographer, cat, mri, pet, cardiovascular technologist) and can correlate with neurology (neuroscientist, pharmacy, lab, imaging, research). Medical technologist, research scientist, and health care Informatics
I'd love to see a video about your own experience as a pharmacist, how you became a pharmacist, and what type of pharmacist you are!! All these health related videos are amazing
I’m a retired diagnostic medical sonographer. I wish I had gotten my BSN instead because of the flexibility of nursing. I’ve spent a ton of time in the OR and I’ve thought, “Man, that nurse anesthetist makes BANK!” But I watch them and what they do and I would fall asleep, especially if I was taking days and nights of back to back call. But seriously, if you get your bachelors in nursing, you have a big, wide world open to you. Even with my RDMS, I can teach or go into sales or travel. I could buy my own machine and I’ve considered getting a DOC contract. I once was the subcontract tech for a DOC contract. Sales or contracting would be bank.
@@ian7064 they work closely with radiologist's to plan out radiation therapy treatments. Depending on where you live (coastal cities) I've seen them make up to $160k
@@ian7064 there aren't many unfortunately and it's pretty competitive. Depending on your state it could be a Bachelor's degree or a Master's. I live in WA state, there's only one school here I know of and you need to have completed a Radiation therapy program first. That's not a bad thing though because you're at least qualified for a good job as a Radiation therapist if you don't get into the dosimetry program. But if you do, the dosimetry program here accepts students every other year. Good luck on your journey man
High paying healthcare jobs = Highly difficult interviews I would like to see videos regarding the most difficult and least difficult interviewing/hiring process.
Registered Cardiovascular Invasive Specialist (RCIS), Registered Cardiac Electrophysiology Specialist (RCES), and Perfusionist all offer better ROI than any of the ones you mentioned in 1/3 the time and potentially no debt. I made more money my first year than my buddy who graduated PA school at the same time I became an RCIS and I didn't add any debt to my life.

Make sure you have a passion for a healthcare career. I was once in that realm, but did not want student debt. Figured I loved learning in general and protecting. Found myself in the realm of cybersec/cloud. Few certs and couple years of work experience can get you within the 150-200k as well. Do your research on how society is forever changing! My pharmacist friends dislike their jobs and its overloaded with them. Salaries are dropping tremendously. Take care!
Could you elaborate more on this. I’m interested in healthcare but not passionate about it but also have high interested in technology and development. Also don’t want to worry about loads of student debt and want to make that 6 figure salary
@@chineduosuorji7382Healthcare is a job you have to take on as something of a vocation with a prolonged interest in being (and I use this term to describe myself when I was exploring becoming a nurse or PA) "a nerd". You have an ongoing educational requirement the length of your career and will always be dealing with the worst sections of society and the worst parts of the human personality and psyche all day every day on shift. Helping people is worth it, but only so much as you are being paid well for it. While I will probably be flamed for this, as I am not a current CNA or Nurse, the reality is jobs that don't pay well are not worth it. There is nothing wrong with caring about others but if you make a habit of being stepped on over money, you will never get what you want out of life and many times will limit you from fulfilling any true needs. Money matters and it moves people. Sad as that truth may be. Nursing outside geriatric medicine and hospice pays well. (Specifically you will be the single nurse managing an entire floor of CNA's and not necessarily in a position to ask for more outside help like you would at a hospital.) The job is taxing emotionally and physically. The modern nurse is far more analytical than many of the past counterparts and you have to learn/must be able to be both compassionate and sharp when it comes to looking out for yourself and your patients. Sometimes a persons bad behavior is because of a mental health issue or because of pain/opioids, and analgesia after a surgery and they have no control over what they are doing till the meds wear off. Most, if not all, patients in that position are extremely embarrassed and apologize for their behavior afterwards. Take this also as a warning, many people that I know who started jobs in healthcare have PTSD from some of the patients or cases they have worked (especially psychologists, if you work in patient groups be EXTREMELY wary of how/when/where you talk to your patients. I know it is already a job requirement but after a certain amount of time, there is not a question of if, but WHEN you will be assaulted by a patient.) Whether/how you afford to take a break (which people have done) to get their mental health in order and relaunched their career or to go somewhere else entirely is up to you. A nurse friend of mine had to quit due to work injuries (full RN, BSN) and now works as a disability and medical malpractice attaché as a paralegal specialist. (Which makes more money than a regular paralegal just to be clear. Paralegals don't get paid much because it is expected to be entry level work unless you come into it with more expertise.) I found I didn't like the hospital environment and chose to move into a business degree with other prerogative duties that still allows me to help people but doesn't have the same "You must be a saint" mentality attached to medical personnel. Technically, the attitude is warranted. You, as a medical professional, can never loose your cool even if everything and everyone around you is loosing theirs. If doing that is too much for you or is a care burden you don't want to take home with you think carefully. People expect courtesy in business but anyone becoming a raving, spitting, fiend is going to be escorted out by security. You have no obligation to put up with or negotiate that type of behavior all day. I like a 9-5, I still like learning, and I got to travel in my various jobs I've had over the years. I took on volunteer work as a trained rescue and paramedic worker later on which scratches the "health and safety" itch I still have, but I had no obligation to grind myself into the ground to do the work I wanted. (Which is also common for people in EMS and ER services. If you aren't getting paid well enough to live in your particular job or you have no desire to move up, being in EMS is not for you. It is a young person's game with limited opportunities if you don't want to train or move and work abroad.) And let's be very clear here: You're not supposed to take patients home with you but it inevitably happens. We are human and very often parts of our own humanity resonate with seeing people so poorly and so closely related to us or our own families and experiences. Paramedics, cops, lawyers, and doctors of all descriptions have hung up their jobs when the attitude of "Not getting attached to your patients" becomes the norm. It means you loose a certain amount of your own emotional health to constantly shut these feelings down. For people who do this for years, often there is nothing done to address these difficulties. In family medicine, because it is a clinical job, have a bad time getting through their concerns or worries to their hospitalist and acute care colleuges. Seeing abusive parents and beaten children is a fairly frequent mainstay of their day when parents are too inconsiderate or horrible to seek out Emergency care that they SHOULD have. They only show up once something isn't healing in it's own but isn't as acute and deadly as something like a brain bleed. I worked hospice transit for a Cancer Clinic and they and the doctors and nurse's there had, imo, the best approach to patient care and familial relationships and help that I have ever seen. We invited families to remember their loved ones with us, we had private memorials for our own patients, all the staff had access to Mental Health counseling. Remembrance days were and still are the hardest when I think about some of the pediatric or young adult patients I have taken care of.
@@geniebeaniek3665 PA programs are very popular and programs are popping up left and rigjt across the nation every year. Also, about 10k new PAs graduate. The one thing that can be argued on whether PAs are oversaturated is that we’re entering a big retirement era from one of the first intial PA waves decades ago. NPs is similar because in the workplace NPs and PAs do about 80% the same things
Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA, can work independently without physician supervision. Mostly in rural areas and in the military, CRNA are the sole anesthesia providers.
If you like helping people I think the medical field would be very rewarding. But I think you have to love people, have empathy, and enjoy helping people.
HEY ! ER DOCTOR HERE ! Amazing video as always ! Could not have said it better myself. My wife is in PA school ! Is the new doctor. Everyone wants to do that now only two years Masters and 112K easy ! Vs doctor 7 years minimum and then finally money 200+K depending on specialty of course ! Keep studying everyone ! Education is the great equalizer _Horace Mann _ I used to be a McDonald's immigrant worker and now a doctor ! Is possible
Yeah , you are correct but not everyone is smart .Everyone will not be a Dr no matter where they started or where they come from it is what it is .I make over a hundred a year in retail but I always tell people it is not where you start but where you finish.
@@Lowcarbkimmy Hey !!! Agree a 100% everyone is smart in their own way ! I love the human body and medicine BUT don't ask me about the market and politics and BLA BLA !!! I suck at that, yet people make 20K a day and make it seem somehow achievable to others in 3 easy steps. False hope and reality !
Yeah, that sounds great. Are you a pharmacist or planning to pursue. I'm in my high school and want to be a pharmacist. But I also want to know the ROI and finances of being a pharmacist. Could you help by any means.
Medical careers sound good on paper but after u get there, they aren’t that great. Patients are sicker and sicker, sometimes down right abusive, and a lot of bullying from nasty coworkers all stressed out. If I must recommend a health career, I would say do healthcare management where u can work from home. I know someone doing this and on top of her salary, she gets about yearly bonuses equaling $10-30k per year. She works with an insurance company.
Working as a PA can be very lucrative with some privately messaging me about earnings in the 200-300k range depending on their specialty, type of reimbursement, and if they own any portion of the enterprise (like a small clinic). CRNAs make great money across the board as well - most over 200k/year. I've seen CRNAs train and it's pretty rigorous
We need to be clear that non-physician providers or NOT physicians! The standards for admission to their programs are much less rigorous and they have far less training then physicians. They are often not appropriate for patients with complicated conditions.
Yes! Plus the shorter education/training and lower education standards is not something that should be flexed, if anything it should actually be more concerning that these organizations have lobbied for independent practice with 20% of the education and training (not that their training or education is even remotely equivalent to that of a physician).
Hello Shane!! As always it's a very instructive vidéo, I just want to ask you what do you think about jobs which mix technology and health(for instance Biotechnology,Bio/Biomedical engineener, biopharmaceuticals, genetic engineer, bioinformatician)
He referred me to his video called "The WORST Health Degrees". I understood what he was saying in the video because I've come across those scammy programs. But, my hope was that he would focus on Healthcare Administration at the Masters level because that's where the real benefits are.
Hello. Is Physicians assistant still a good career to go into? I’ve heard many people saying that hospitals plan on phasing our physician assistants and I’m kind of scared. I’m already mid-way through my bachelors (bio major) and I’m worried.
Can you please do a video about Diplomacy or being a Foreigner Service Officer? I’m really curious and I’m leaning towards being a FSO, but in my country only 1% of examinees pass the FSOT. So I’m kinda in between.
Hi I'm requesting what types of careers in health and wellness studies because I'm doing bachelor of health and wellness studies but the course it's not that popular no clear information about the course maybe you can help make videos about health and wellness studies
Hey Shane, what graduate level degrees would you recommend to someone who has a useless bachelors degree, and CAN afford grad school? Specifically, which are most likely to be employable?
no degree is completely useless. at the very least it allows you do get jobs that require any 4 year degree. pay for college graduates with any degree is higher than those without.
@@Elizabeth-yx5on That's true, I just think the jobs you'd land with some liberal arts degree is probably not the industry you'd like to stay in forever. But idk maybe its better to teach yourself skills and go from there rather than pay for more schooling.
Look into an accelerated nursing program. I have my bachelors, and I started my 12 month BSN program this January. Best decision I’ve made. Another thing you could look at is finding a direct entry graduate nursing program. I know UCSF has one.
@@I_NoahGuy If I decide to take on such a stressful job, then I will consider this. Thanks for that, I didn't even know there was such thing as an accelerated program for nursing. Are you getting all your shadowing hours in while studying?
Go to community college and get the ASN and start working right away without any debt. If you want to grab BSN, you can add it online in as little as 6 months to one year and have your hospital pay for for it. Private BSN programs are the worst ROI; you make nothing extra for going to a school that puts you into more debt. Nursing school is amazing; just do it the right way.
@@SomeGuy-sy5sj That’s what I did. I went to a technical college and got my ADN with a little over 1k for students loans which was nothing after getting a job and paying it off. Then I went for my BSN and the place that I work at does reimbursements for employees who are going back to schools for higher education. I don’t have to worry about being in so much debts as compared to students who went to a four year college or private colleges to get their nursing degrees. A nurse with an ADN and a nurse with a BSN knows just as much except an ADN nurse just does not have the management side of it for education wise.
Nurse Practitioners are not mini doctors (implying physician), though many nurse practitioners are doctors of nursing practice (DNP). :) We are advanced practice nurses who practice NURSING not MEDICINE. We have our own field with our own practices, theories, and ways of approaching care!!!
What about the wonky job market now and people 50+ that kind find work about being laid off. My sister is 52 and can’t find work. She has her bachelors degree and an MBA as well. Please do a video on jobs for mature workers. Thank you.
I thought you would mention the pharmaceutical industry CEO and their R & D director. When most of their total compensation is in stock options, for which they do not pay any capital gains taxes until liquidated ( sold for cash ), their value usually grows as fast as the intrinsic value of the company, regardless of what salary they are paid. You will find many of them who are billionaires with only ONE drug on the market from which their company makes over 90% of the revenue year in and year out. No wonder, it is the most profitable industry in human history.
Hi! Shane, greetings from Peru, I was wondering if this also applies to Latin countries, since there are no channels in Spanish that explain as well as you should I take into account other types of statistics? Sorry for my bad english
Paramedic is a grate career that only requires an associates degree. They make a lot of money and is a well respected job but it does have some sacrifices that are a requirement for the career. For example, being in danger, being the first one on the scene which can be disturbing, and finally being mentally able to do the job.
My friends who are SLPs are unhappy working in clinical settings but make barely $50k working in an overloaded school setting. As an underpaid teacher I told them to shut-up because I'm only making $42k with a masters.
I'm about to graduate in Pharmacy School, can you talk more about your degree and your specialties? That would be awesome. By the way, English is not my first language, so I have a weird question: which is the differences between the terms physician, medic and doctor refering to those professionals who graduate in Medical School?
Hi Shane, what's your opinion on the job market for PA's becoming oversaturated? I'm currently in college and so many people I know want to be PA's as more of us are catching on to the fact that it's a good job option and demand will continue to increase, but I wonder if that will change since, to me at least, it seems like SO many people are trying to get into PA programs.
@@onyebuchiihejirikauche9213 I think that would depend on the area of the country. Here in the Midwest I see frequent positions for hospitalist and urgent care.
Hay, what do you think about working in the pharmacy? Is in possible to find job after pharmacy school? I has been trying about this professional all time in the school... But I heard that it's not really good idea to became a pharmacist... What you think about it?
Hey Shane, thanks for your video, it really helped me a lot! I was wondering if there are any jobs that are available to international students? I've heard that application PA schools are not very friendly to international students, is it true?😭
My friend has been a RD for 30 years. Very small salary! Not worth it in my opinion. She says it's very difficult because patients rarely want to comply with any dietary advice. She has to say the same things over and over again. Her first language is Spanish and her English is fluent. This gave her a leg up on the competition in getting a job
I have considered PA but the only thing I don’t like it that it’s kind of dead end. Like in other jobs you can start at a certain position and in a couple years move up to higher positions but I feel like a pa has to work under a doctor at all times.
I know many PAs who only talk to their collaborative physician on rare occasion. If you work with a surgeon you will be across the OR table from him or her. If you do family practice, the doctor maybe 100 miles away in another office. PAs and physicians work as a team. That word “assistant” has always caused a misunderstanding.
Yes this is me, I think its an amazing career, but they do not get enough recognition and its like once you're done, you're done. Also someone in the comment said the market is getting saturated

Could you elaborate more on this. I’m interested in healthcare but not passionate about it but also have high interested in technology and development. Also don’t want to worry about loads of student debt and want to make that 6 figure salary
@S Where do you get certs in your profession? I can't figure out which are legitimate and which are rip offs.
@@chineduosuorji7382Healthcare is a job you have to take on as something of a vocation with a prolonged interest in being (and I use this term to describe myself when I was exploring becoming a nurse or PA) "a nerd".
You have an ongoing educational requirement the length of your career and will always be dealing with the worst sections of society and the worst parts of the human personality and psyche all day every day on shift. Helping people is worth it, but only so much as you are being paid well for it. While I will probably be flamed for this, as I am not a current CNA or Nurse, the reality is jobs that don't pay well are not worth it. There is nothing wrong with caring about others but if you make a habit of being stepped on over money, you will never get what you want out of life and many times will limit you from fulfilling any true needs. Money matters and it moves people. Sad as that truth may be.
Nursing outside geriatric medicine and hospice pays well. (Specifically you will be the single nurse managing an entire floor of CNA's and not necessarily in a position to ask for more outside help like you would at a hospital.) The job is taxing emotionally and physically. The modern nurse is far more analytical than many of the past counterparts and you have to learn/must be able to be both compassionate and sharp when it comes to looking out for yourself and your patients. Sometimes a persons bad behavior is because of a mental health issue or because of pain/opioids, and analgesia after a surgery and they have no control over what they are doing till the meds wear off. Most, if not all, patients in that position are extremely embarrassed and apologize for their behavior afterwards.
Take this also as a warning, many people that I know who started jobs in healthcare have PTSD from some of the patients or cases they have worked (especially psychologists, if you work in patient groups be EXTREMELY wary of how/when/where you talk to your patients. I know it is already a job requirement but after a certain amount of time, there is not a question of if, but WHEN you will be assaulted by a patient.) Whether/how you afford to take a break (which people have done) to get their mental health in order and relaunched their career or to go somewhere else entirely is up to you.
A nurse friend of mine had to quit due to work injuries (full RN, BSN) and now works as a disability and medical malpractice attaché as a paralegal specialist. (Which makes more money than a regular paralegal just to be clear. Paralegals don't get paid much because it is expected to be entry level work unless you come into it with more expertise.) I found I didn't like the hospital environment and chose to move into a business degree with other prerogative duties that still allows me to help people but doesn't have the same "You must be a saint" mentality attached to medical personnel.
Technically, the attitude is warranted. You, as a medical professional, can never loose your cool even if everything and everyone around you is loosing theirs. If doing that is too much for you or is a care burden you don't want to take home with you think carefully. People expect courtesy in business but anyone becoming a raving, spitting, fiend is going to be escorted out by security. You have no obligation to put up with or negotiate that type of behavior all day. I like a 9-5, I still like learning, and I got to travel in my various jobs I've had over the years. I took on volunteer work as a trained rescue and paramedic worker later on which scratches the "health and safety" itch I still have, but I had no obligation to grind myself into the ground to do the work I wanted. (Which is also common for people in EMS and ER services. If you aren't getting paid well enough to live in your particular job or you have no desire to move up, being in EMS is not for you. It is a young person's game with limited opportunities if you don't want to train or move and work abroad.)
And let's be very clear here: You're not supposed to take patients home with you but it inevitably happens. We are human and very often parts of our own humanity resonate with seeing people so poorly and so closely related to us or our own families and experiences. Paramedics, cops, lawyers, and doctors of all descriptions have hung up their jobs when the attitude of "Not getting attached to your patients" becomes the norm. It means you loose a certain amount of your own emotional health to constantly shut these feelings down. For people who do this for years, often there is nothing done to address these difficulties.
In family medicine, because it is a clinical job, have a bad time getting through their concerns or worries to their hospitalist and acute care colleuges. Seeing abusive parents and beaten children is a fairly frequent mainstay of their day when parents are too inconsiderate or horrible to seek out Emergency care that they SHOULD have. They only show up once something isn't healing in it's own but isn't as acute and deadly as something like a brain bleed. I worked hospice transit for a Cancer Clinic and they and the doctors and nurse's there had, imo, the best approach to patient care and familial relationships and help that I have ever seen. We invited families to remember their loved ones with us, we had private memorials for our own patients, all the staff had access to Mental Health counseling. Remembrance days were and still are the hardest when I think about some of the pediatric or young adult patients I have taken care of.
NPs and PAs (essentially the same thing in many aspects), can be argued to be saturated nowadays.
Really what do you mean?
NPS jobs are saturated , people don’t want to work bedside , very risky
@@geniebeaniek3665 PA programs are very popular and programs are popping up left and rigjt across the nation every year. Also, about 10k new PAs graduate. The one thing that can be argued on whether PAs are oversaturated is that we’re entering a big retirement era from one of the first intial PA waves decades ago. NPs is similar because in the workplace NPs and PAs do about 80% the same things
Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA, can work independently without physician supervision. Mostly in rural areas and in the military, CRNA are the sole anesthesia providers.
If you like helping people I think the medical field would be very rewarding. But I think you have to love people, have empathy, and enjoy helping people.
finally he mentions pharmaceutical scientist
thank you good sir thank you
Physician Assistants now go by Physician Associates.
Yep very recent change !
Hey man, just wanted to say you do not need a NP degree to become a CRNA - You can apply to be a CRNA with a BSN.
@@graciousgrace7509 no it said you do not have be an NP to become one
@Joey Hill o
Love your channel, so informative.
Thanks so much!
Really useful video Shane. Would love to see more videos like this.
Hey Shane! Can you do public health? Job prospects after MPH and pros/cons of this degree?
Don’t do it.
Thanks for talking about Medical Jobs, I got a lot of friends who would want to see this video.
You got it
It's not medical jobs it's healthcare jobs, to be more specific.
HEY ! ER DOCTOR HERE ! Amazing video as always ! Could not have said it better myself. My wife is in PA school ! Is the new doctor. Everyone wants to do that now only two years Masters and 112K easy ! Vs doctor 7 years minimum and then finally money 200+K depending on specialty of course ! Keep studying everyone !
Education is the great equalizer _Horace Mann _
I used to be a McDonald's immigrant worker and now a doctor ! Is possible
Yeah , you are correct but not everyone is smart .Everyone will not be a Dr no matter where they started or where they come from it is what it is .I make over a hundred a year in retail but I always tell people it is not where you start but where you finish.
@@Lowcarbkimmy Hey !!! Agree a 100% everyone is smart in their own way ! I love the human body and medicine BUT don't ask me about the market and politics and BLA BLA !!! I suck at that, yet people make 20K a day and make it seem somehow achievable to others in 3 easy steps. False hope and reality !
Thank you
Thank you for sharing!
You are just a super hard working andvery bright immigrant.
I would never doubt that.
Would’ve been great if you talked about healthcare lawyers
I would love a video about the variety of different pharmacists!!
Yeah, that sounds great.
Are you a pharmacist or planning to pursue.
I'm in my high school and want to be a pharmacist. But I also want to know the ROI and finances of being a pharmacist.
Could you help by any means.
That clip with the pharmacist 😂 that got me
haha
Medical careers sound good on paper but after u get there, they aren’t that great. Patients are sicker and sicker, sometimes down right abusive, and a lot of bullying from nasty coworkers all stressed out. If I must recommend a health career, I would say do healthcare management where u can work from home. I know someone doing this and on top of her salary, she gets about yearly bonuses equaling $10-30k per year. She works with an insurance company.
A video on best radiology jobs would be cool
Working as a PA can be very lucrative with some privately messaging me about earnings in the 200-300k range depending on their specialty, type of reimbursement, and if they own any portion of the enterprise (like a small clinic). CRNAs make great money across the board as well - most over 200k/year. I've seen CRNAs train and it's pretty rigorous
Hey its uuuu xD
Can u do a video of masters in public health career and scope
Pls can you shared more light on psychology (counselling psychology) ? Where it falls limitation; pay and opportunities ...
You said there were 47 different types of pharmacists. What kind of pharmacist are you?
The one that wants to dominate the whole tri-state area
Drug dealer... ;)
@@Biomeducated 😀😀😀
Community pharmacist, hospital,ambulatory, home health and infusion, long term, oncology and the list goes on. Happy day!
Nurse practitioner 1:23 income: $ 102,000
We need to be clear that non-physician providers or NOT physicians! The standards for admission to their programs are much less rigorous and they have far less training then physicians. They are often not appropriate for patients with complicated conditions.
Yes! Plus the shorter education/training and lower education standards is not something that should be flexed, if anything it should actually be more concerning that these organizations have lobbied for independent practice with 20% of the education and training (not that their training or education is even remotely equivalent to that of a physician).
@@melanieparedes202 100% agreed!
Hello Shane!! As always it's a very instructive vidéo, I just want to ask you what do you think about jobs which mix technology and health(for instance Biotechnology,Bio/Biomedical engineener, biopharmaceuticals, genetic engineer, bioinformatician)
What Is Biomedical Engineering? (Is A Biomedical Engineering Degree Worth It?)
th-cam.com/video/qYI_sG0DmYs/w-d-xo.html
Yesss!!! Please so underrated especially RIGHT NOW
I have masters in molecular biology doing covid testing and it’s so so underrated . Still having trouble finding high paying jobs
Thank you, Shane, this really helped me out!
80% of pharmacy jobs are still in retail. New hires are making less than 100K per year.
Great video! You covered some of the most practical options in Healthcare.
is there any chance you can do a video about healthcare administration?
He referred me to his video called "The WORST Health Degrees". I understood what he was saying in the video because I've come across those scammy programs. But, my hope was that he would focus on Healthcare Administration at the Masters level because that's where the real benefits are.
@@busy_b22 i appreciate your response, thank you!!!
@@daniotero8928 You're more than welcome. I pray that you and your family are well, and that God continues to bless you 🧡
Hello. Is Physicians assistant still a good career to go into? I’ve heard many people saying that hospitals plan on phasing our physician assistants and I’m kind of scared. I’m already mid-way through my bachelors (bio major) and I’m worried.
Whats you opinion on cardiovascular perfusionist?
Can you please do a video about Diplomacy or being a Foreigner Service Officer? I’m really curious and I’m leaning towards being a FSO, but in my country only 1% of examinees pass the FSOT. So I’m kinda in between.
Hey Shane, does Medical Biotech worth it, in pay, future scope and demand?
Hi I'm requesting what types of careers in health and wellness studies because I'm doing bachelor of health and wellness studies but the course it's not that popular no clear information about the course maybe you can help make videos about health and wellness studies
Why didn’t dentists make the list? The average is right around $150,000 for a general practitioner. Specialist make more.
I think dentists go in a different category
No one ever talk about medical laboratory technician 😔
How much do they make? This list is high paying jobs 100k plus. But again what do they make?
@@Me-gh4qu around 80 k starting
I heard jobs are very scarce, mostly overnight. Starting pay $40k. Mostly gross lab work
Hey Shane, what graduate level degrees would you recommend to someone who has a useless bachelors degree, and CAN afford grad school? Specifically, which are most likely to be employable?
no degree is completely useless. at the very least it allows you do get jobs that require any 4 year degree. pay for college graduates with any degree is higher than those without.
@@Elizabeth-yx5on That's true, I just think the jobs you'd land with some liberal arts degree is probably not the industry you'd like to stay in forever. But idk maybe its better to teach yourself skills and go from there rather than pay for more schooling.
Look into an accelerated nursing program. I have my bachelors, and I started my 12 month BSN program this January. Best decision I’ve made. Another thing you could look at is finding a direct entry graduate nursing program. I know UCSF has one.
@@I_NoahGuy If I decide to take on such a stressful job, then I will consider this. Thanks for that, I didn't even know there was such thing as an accelerated program for nursing. Are you getting all your shadowing hours in while studying?
They have bachelor bridge programs you should look into 👍🏻
As a recent human anatomy graduate which field is seemingly the best route to take
I found this video at the perfect time. I’m going to college to be an RN
That's great. Good luck!
Go to community college and get the ASN and start working right away without any debt. If you want to grab BSN, you can add it online in as little as 6 months to one year and have your hospital pay for for it. Private BSN programs are the worst ROI; you make nothing extra for going to a school that puts you into more debt. Nursing school is amazing; just do it the right way.
@@SomeGuy-sy5sj That’s what I did. I went to a technical college and got my ADN with a little over 1k for students loans which was nothing after getting a job and paying it off. Then I went for my BSN and the place that I work at does reimbursements for employees who are going back to schools for higher education. I don’t have to worry about being in so much debts as compared to students who went to a four year college or private colleges to get their nursing degrees. A nurse with an ADN and a nurse with a BSN knows just as much except an ADN nurse just does not have the management side of it for education wise.
Hi. Before going to be working on longevity research what bs prerequisite do you think is most suiting?
Nurse Practitioners are not mini doctors (implying physician), though many nurse practitioners are doctors of nursing practice (DNP). :) We are advanced practice nurses who practice NURSING not MEDICINE. We have our own field with our own practices, theories, and ways of approaching care!!!
What are your thoughts on using a general studies degree plus prerequisites to get into PA school?
Hey Shane, can you do a video on books you recommended for financial advice? I think it would be an interesting subject to discuss.
What about the wonky job market now and people 50+ that kind find work about being laid off. My sister is 52 and can’t find work. She has her bachelors degree and an MBA as well. Please do a video on jobs for mature workers. Thank you.
Ha ha people are requesting videos like is fast food drive through. Can I have a large soda? Lol
Right!
I thought you would mention the pharmaceutical industry CEO and their R & D director. When most of their total compensation is in stock options, for which they do not pay any capital gains taxes until liquidated ( sold for cash ), their value usually grows as fast as the intrinsic value of the company, regardless of what salary they are paid.
You will find many of them who are billionaires with only ONE drug on the market from which their company makes over 90% of the revenue year in and year out. No wonder, it is the most profitable industry in human history.
What do you think about specialisation on Public health
Certified nurse midwives can also make 6 figures and is a wonderful career❤
I’m in my last semester of nursing school and I am highly considering becoming one
how many years of schooling past HS and with what courses required to become a nurse informaticist? which colleges have these courses.
hey shane, what do you think about online courses like coursera? they honestly look appealing, but i'd like your input!
wow didn't know you were a pharmacist!! congrats to you & great choice!!
this was helpful thank you

Do a video on medical imaging
Hey, can you make a video talking about SLPs (speech-language pathologists)?
Paramedic is a grate career that only requires an associates degree. They make a lot of money and is a well respected job but it does have some sacrifices that are a requirement for the career. For example, being in danger, being the first one on the scene which can be disturbing, and finally being mentally able to do the job.
Being a certified paramedic requires significantly more field experience than being an EMT or an advanced EMT. EMTs get paid very little.
Maybe in the the States but not up north in Canada where paramedics get paid a good hourly wage and benefits. But that depends on some Provinces.
Also experience is not needed because you be doing tests and attending courses which they will train you.
please discuss speech language pathology. it’s in the medical field can put a lot depending on area. I just want to hear your take.
The WORST Health Degrees!
th-cam.com/video/YiAEOwYPajs/w-d-xo.html
My friends who are SLPs are unhappy working in clinical settings but make barely $50k working in an overloaded school setting. As an underpaid teacher I told them to shut-up because I'm only making $42k with a masters.
I'm about to graduate in Pharmacy School, can you talk more about your degree and your specialties? That would be awesome. By the way, English is not my first language, so I have a weird question: which is the differences between the terms physician, medic and doctor refering to those professionals who graduate in Medical School?
Hi Shane, what's your opinion on the job market for PA's becoming oversaturated? I'm currently in college and so many people I know want to be PA's as more of us are catching on to the fact that it's a good job option and demand will continue to increase, but I wonder if that will change since, to me at least, it seems like SO many people are trying to get into PA programs.
Depends on in what part of the country you want to practice. My area still has multiple positions available. That is with two PA programs in town.
Excellent point, thanks for the feedback!
@@vinnieboombotz2001 which area exactly has more job openings for PA?
@@onyebuchiihejirikauche9213 I think that would depend on the area of the country. Here in the Midwest I see frequent positions for hospitalist and urgent care.

Hay, what do you think about working in the pharmacy? Is in possible to find job after pharmacy school? I has been trying about this professional all time in the school... But I heard that it's not really good idea to became a pharmacist... What you think about it?
Has been thinking*
Sorry for English, I am from Russia..
The salary and schooling varies among different countries. 😌
could you do a video on PA vs NP?
What about PHYSICIAN SCIENTIST?
Hey Shane, thanks for your video, it really helped me a lot! I was wondering if there are any jobs that are available to international students? I've heard that application PA schools are not very friendly to international students, is it true?😭
What do you think about nutritionist and dieticians.
My friend has been a RD for 30 years. Very small salary! Not worth it in my opinion. She says it's very difficult because patients rarely want to comply with any dietary advice. She has to say the same things over and over again. Her first language is Spanish and her English is fluent. This gave her a leg up on the competition in getting a job
It can also be said that more responsible, more delicate jobs
I have considered PA but the only thing I don’t like it that it’s kind of dead end. Like in other jobs you can start at a certain position and in a couple years move up to higher positions but I feel like a pa has to work under a doctor at all times.
I know many PAs who only talk to their collaborative physician on rare occasion. If you work with a surgeon you will be across the OR table from him or her. If you do family practice, the doctor maybe 100 miles away in another office. PAs and physicians work as a team. That word “assistant” has always caused a misunderstanding.
@@vinnieboombotz2001 Thanks for the info.
Yes this is me, I think its an amazing career, but they do not get enough recognition and its like once you're done, you're done. Also someone in the comment said the market is getting saturated
Thank you, Shane! Your videos are so excellently researched and helpful. God bless you!
I appreciate that!
