What is a good paying medical career?
I am really thinking about nursing. I know a couple of nurses that work nights and make 75k and more. Is nursing a good job and would nights be better than days? Also feel free to suggest more careers in the medical field. I only want to go to school for 4-5 years and want to make 75k after a couple years experience. Also what is the average income for a night nurse in akron ohio? Thanks in advance

Hmm, you only want to go to school for only 4-5 years so that eliminates being a Doctor and surgeon etc. So the next best thing could be a nurse. And nursing is a good job, my uncle is one and he makes somewhere around 80k per year, but he does have lots of experience though. As for making 75k with only 2 years experience im not sure about that, unless you *prove* yourself very good at what you do and work at a top notch hospital. The average salary for a Registered nurse in Akron ohio is only 50,989, which according to your salary goals isn't that high. The pay can vary differently considering the metropolitan are of which you work in. If you work in some small town then i recon it wouldn't be very high pay, but if you were in L.A. --like my uncle, you'd probably be more up their. But also there are other careers in the medical field such as, Radiologist which deals with x-rays, CT scanning,MRI, fluoroscopy and ultrasound etc. You would take a 4 year degree program plus 4 years of Medical school to become one, and they get pretty good pay --315k/year but oh yea, you want only 4-5 years schooling. Well then you could also try to be a radiological technologist which is either a 2 year degree program or a 4 year degree program and the average pay is about 55k/year. What they do is examine CT scans, develop x-ray film etc. and works under the Radiologist which is higher than a radiological technician. You can also look into Biomedical Engineering, which is a 4 year degree program. Biomedical engineering deals with the making of medical machines to improve treatment and diagnosis of medical problems. And there's also branches within biomedical engineering such as, tissue engineering, and genetic engineering which you can explore on your own. The average salary of a biomedical engineer is 51,000 Biomedical Engineers Average Salary http://swz.salary.com/salarywizard/layouthtmls/swzl_compresult_national_HC07000113.html Biomedical Engineering http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomedical_engineering Radiological Technologist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiologic_technologist Average Salary for a nurse in Akron Ohio http://www.salaryexpert.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=Browse.Akron-Ohio-Certified-Nurse-Assistant-salary-data-details&PositionId=3022&CityId=2 Now can i have 10 points?....please...??

In Los Angeles Pharmacists make about $55-66 an hour. I personally think that's very good but everyone has their own opinion on what good pay is.

Hi Is nursing a good job?? What a question eh... yes as it requires that your help people getting better due to ill health... Did you not question this nurses regarding the pros and cons there are both posistives and negatives in every job. Nursing is an extremely demanding and tiresome career but I believe to be so rewarding on so many levels are you more motivated by income or actually the career itself I understand your motivation behind earning potentially quiet a bit but please consider this you must choose a career that is rewarding to you in other ways as however much an income is to add value you must ask yourself these questions Have I an interest in this? Will I enjoy this job and career? You must enjoy it and take pleasure in getting up in the morning to go work!!!! As you will never add the value required to doing a job well and of course to your future employers Income is important but I would suggest that it be the last thing you do before choosing a career why work in something of little or no interest for years due to the income!! You'll get bored frustrated disappointed and won't add value especially if your nursing!!!!!!! Good luck
