If you plan on pursuing a health degree, do not I repeat DO NOT pursue it because you were pressured by your parents! Your parents most of the time will just look at the salary and think it's the best for you. All it will do is make you miserable. Only pursue health if you have a true passion for helping people
While I was at Community College for my Associate's in Nursing; my friends would make fun of me for my career path. I paid tuition with my credit card and paid the card off before each semester had finished. The month before graduation, I got a job with an 8k sign-on bonus and I had only 12k in debt from living expenses. I started out making ~55-60k/year while working 36hr/ww with benefits. 3 years later, I moved and worked as a contractor for the DOD at a military hospital making 80k/year 36hr/ww. One year later, I became a GS-11 gov worker and I get 10% nights and 25% weekends. I bring home about 105k/year. There's a lot of flexibility and I have never had a problem finding a job.
I’m 16 as well and being a doctor sounds fine cuz I wanna help folks out as much as I can, but I don’t wanna burn out too quick. Wouldn’t mind being at least 4 years old again 💀
As a junior in high school, your videos have really helped me to take the time and consider what I want for my future. Cheers buddy, keep up the good content!
Can you do a super in-depth video about the nuances of Pharmacy? What you like/dislike, prereqs, salary, job opportunities, if where you get your PharmD matters, etc.
Don't do pharmacy, job market is flooded with new grads that can't even get a phone interview for months. Automation is replacing pharmacists. Also, you'll graduating with 200-300k debt and no job offers. Watch Paul Tran pharmacist here in youtube to get the full picture.
I'm a nurse and I'm considering NP or PA in the future! You're right that the nurses get worked really hard in the hospital. I did change units to work in the operating room and so far it's been a lot better
Never said I was either 🤣 What I mean is I don't see anyone saying his a doctor and he disagrees. because I think the video is pretty accurate and for the record no I am not a doctor. I am a full time troll lol
I’m a PT student and I love the field, couldn’t see myself doing anything else. But, I have many friends who went into other health care fields and here’s what I’ve learned: I love PT school, however the debt income ratio is not amazing unless you you are a travel therapist or work in home care. But the job is extremely rewarding and PT is basically their own entity so you don’t have certain stresses such as being yelled at by doctors all the time like PAs/ nurses seem to experience. However I think those are great options too. I think one of the best things someone can do is become an RN at a community college for barely any money and likely a hospital will pay for them to obtain their bachelors. I think this is a good idea for respiratory therapists as well. I believe that might be an option for radiation therapists as well. In regards to PT I think many people are unaware that you need to obtain a doctorate in physical therapy that takes 7 years (unless you attend a 6 year direct entry program) before you can take the boards. It is also very expensive. Also that there is more to it than mobility. PTs are supposed to be experts in the human movement system including CV, msk, neuro, integumentary, etc. They can perform air away clearance techniques, perform sharp selective wound debridement, diagnosis a wide variety of injuries etc, assist in management of burns, treat lymphedema etc. But, often times other healthcare workers think their expertise only lies in orthopedics which isn’t true, there are specialties in neuro, ortho, oncology, sports, cardio pulm, women’s health and more. Another reason I chose it was because I hate math and there is no dosing medications with PT, haha. I think it also allows you to have autonomy over your patients as many states have direct access without the stress of patients being in life threatening condition all the time the way you might be stressed as an MD, etc. I think over all I would say if you can help it, pick which ever one you can’t see yourself doing anything else besides and choose the cheapest/ fastest route. Also work hard right from the get-go because it won’t be fun if anything has to get repeated. Good luck health care people :)!
Sameeeee. I’m 16 as well and thinking to be an anesthesiologist. Helping many folks who need it definitely gonna make you feel good about yourself. And travelling gotta also be in that #1 spot. Wishing you the best tho for future. BE THAT DOCTOR 😁
Currently, in university to become a PA!! And was literally jumping up and down to see how far the PA profession made it up the list! This is even more motivation to stay on track and keep persistent, because the journey will definitely be challenging and also competitive!
@@briellemosey7603 I switched A LOT but I’m going to major in Nursing. Because I enjoy Science and Math. But major in something you’ll be able to study and focus on for a long time!
I graduated high school a year ago today, and decided to take a gap year. I did a lot of research and chose to become a nurse practitioner, so I’m very pleased with the ranking!😂 Your videos helped me so much 💜
Smart move.. almost RIGHT AFTER highschool to pursue a VERY valuable, great paying and rewarding profession!! I wish I can turn back time sometimes and did my research (being a cook after going to a tech school.. 👎) when I should've gotten an ACTUAL degree in culinary management that would've helped me become farther along today oh well! Thankfully I'm back in school becoming an RD and restarting my side business (catering and consulting). Regardless, you're on the path!!
Keep in mind, you can get your Associate's in nursing; work a couple years in something like ER (you'll treat peds, geriatrics, psych, trauma etc) and gain some experience while bridging to bachelors and then to NP. Your employer will reimburse you as you'll gain experience while getting paid.
My son wanted to work with children so he decided to become a pediatric nurse. I guided him through his journey so that he could complete his degree in the least amount of years and with little or no debt. First, in high school, he took classes in his junior and senior years that count for college credit. He took the maximum transferable credits which was 15, which equals one semester. He took freshman classes such as Psyc 1 and English 1. He then decided to attend a community college that offered a nursing degree. The tuition was cheaper and the competition to get into the program was lower than a four year college. Another advantage was that he would start his nursing courses almost immediately while at the four-year college, he'd have to complete all the liberal arts courses and then compete as he was entering his junior year, for a spot in the nursing program. What if he didn't make it? The route he chose, he completed his nursing courses and his 15 credits from high school transferred and he took his nursing exam after finishing getting his associates degree. He took the state licensing exam is now an RN. At the same time, the school had a partnership with a four-year college and he was accepted to finish getting his bachelor's degree. He is taking classes in the summer and winter and already has a nursing job starting at $72K. He is only 21 years old. He works in NYC and is looking to continue his education to become a nurse practitioner. Getting his degree was on the cheap. He lived at home and commuted to the community college and worked summers for pocket money. New York City's CUNY school system is not very expensive and state residents can get an Excelsior scholarship for free tuition. The hospital he works for already committed to paying for his master's program.
@Naveen Francis I’m an EMT going for an allied health degree. Unless you plan on getting your fire fighters license or plan on working in a major city it’ll be hard to live unless you work two + jobs. It’s also extremely hard on your body. There are ways to make good money (ie flight medic) but it’ll take time and will still be hard on the body after time.
That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. MDs are literally medical doctors... Plus a stupid name change like that would have a lot of complicated downstream legal and practical effects (reimbursement rates and scopes)
@@jays5926 He's making the argument that not all physicians are MDs. DO's should not be stigmatized as being less trained than their MD counterparts, because they simply isn't true. And as for the "complicated downstream legal and practical effects", can you elaborate? I don't see an issue...
@@Brian-bd1gc I’m not sure about your country. But by legal definition, a physician is a health care professional who has obtained an MD. In terms of the terminology, I’ll use the example of D.Ch and D.pod. These share very similar scopes of practises but have very different billing capabilities (due to their schooling and education Other than that, I don’t disagree with your premise at all - that [for example] DOs should be viewed different due to their unique approaches to therapy. We are all members of the same overall team
I am a dental hygienist and I am considering changing career paths because it is physically demanding. Your hands and arms will hurt and cramp up, your neck can become stiff, not sure how long I will make it with this job, its more than just cleaning teeth! Love that you included it in your video!
I’m dental student in japan and I agree with this idea. Dentist is very inflexible job and only choice you can get after graduation is most likely to be dentist and you cannot work as any other type of doctor. Private school is pretty expensive, and public college(which run by government 国立) are super hard that can let you get into medical school. But as he said salary is pretty good, as older population grows in developed country, more patient will increase. Anyway thanks for the vid!!!
medical technology and respiratory therapy are also good careers to look at. it breaks my heart that we are often not acknowledged. we are definitely unsung heroes.
Hi Shane! I'm a new subscriber! This is a REALLY good review! I've been a Physician Assistant for twenty years and currently work Hospitalist PA in Washington, D.C. It's a GREAT career. I'm STILL loving it! 😊❤👍🏾👨🏽⚕️
@@sofiag4377 my salary now is $30 per hour, every year you get a raise. It also depends which state you work at. I think it's worth it and nurses are always needed. I love what I do!
assassin it is a lot of studying and needing to know how things work and understanding. I would say finish your GE first because that will help. But there are some schools where you can do nursing classes with your ge classes
I am a RN in California. RN easily make over $120K per year but extremely competitive field. Need straight A’s in nursing prerequisites to get in to a nursing program and after you graduate, even more competitive to get a job. But once you land a job and have at least of a year experience, you are set. It is a very rewarding and demanding career.
Thanks for explaining the difference between PT and OT so well ! I am an occupational therapist working in a hospital and I love what I am doing, I highly recommend this field to someone who enjoys helping people, problem solvers and constant learners. Do make sure you go to a public school! I would not recommend taking student loan debt more than 70k- 80k (National OT average annual salary), otherwise you’ll be struggling with payments for a very long time !!
The only reason why I would rate NP as #1 and PA as #2 instead is because you can make money as you work from RN (2yrs) to NP (6yrs), whereas as a PA you have to wait 6 yrs to actually start making money. Also, the fact that PA is not recognized in many countries (completely nonexistent), whereas nurses are recognized internationally, so if anyone ever plans on traveling or living in a different country, it’s something important to consider. ☺️
You've mentioned physical therapists and occupational therapists. You didn't mention speech language pathologists! They are part of the rehabilitation package as well!!!
Great video Shane! I have a friend taking dentistry and it costs him about $300k for schooling. I’m sure it would pay off over time, but I totally agree with you on the debt side of things!
Thanks man! For me I'd rather go for a good career where I don't have to wait decades before it starts paying off. Enjoying life while you still can is where it's at. Cheers!
I’m a nursing major and end goal to be a Nurse practioner , people need to understand that you must work hard to reach success. There is a lot of memorizing and it’s time consuming. But at the end work pays off. Cheating is not an answer, ask yourself, do you want a doctor who cheated, no! So work hard and stay patient , and u will c the majic!
@ Zayd hijazi memorization? Maybe in your country where advances in medical care are lacking. I see this common in the Philippines where nursing is taught 3rd world and not like in the USA. Which is why so many foreign trained nurses struggle passing the Nclex-RN which is based on critical thinking (not memorization). So yeah medical and nursing is taught differently in developed countries vs 3rd world.
@@ShaneHummus Please consider in your video the current job market that is full of unemployed or part-time/per diem pharmacists who can't get a full time job for years. Pharmacy schools fool young people that haven't gotten their research and pump out new grads with 200-300k student loans to the real world where is no job. There is a negative growth -3% in the job outlook, plus automation plays a role that pharmacist have been gradually replaced by machines. Watch Paul Tran pharmacist youtube channel.
hey, just an update: occupational therapists are transitioning into requiring a doctorate degree. its fairly new, but is now required to get your licence. also, both ots and pts ask patients what they want to do/goal set with patients. so ots mainly focus on improving one's ability to do adls (activities of daily living), where pts work to improve on function, mobility, and pain management. otherwise, great job describing them!
I was pursuing a nursing degree but switched to hospital administration after I started working in a hospital. I realized I'm more of a visionary vs a detailed focused person. I wanted to work on leading projects in the healthcare industry. 3 years later I'm working as a the lead project manager for my local health department. Also, I probably would have quit once covid started, no amount of money would convince me to risk my health for a patient 😩
Just some clarification on nurse practitioners: we can't just switch to another specialty, we would have to go back to school to get the didactics and clinicals and take that particular specialty board exam before anyone will hire us to do that particular job. Additionally, most schools are transitioning to the Doctor of Nursing Practice degree and phasing out the master's degree. PAs, on the other hand can switch more easily between specialties, as you mentioned.
Super helpful video! I am currently in EMT class and have no idea what I want to pursue after, all I know is that I want to go into the medical field. This video helped me narrow it down a little more!
At the last hospital I worked at, one of the PAs traveled over 6 hours to work in the ER and also did stents at the urgent care clinic. He loved it but could easily transfer to any other specialty as he had done work in other areas. One of the NPs working in the ER (that I worked in) also worked at the other local ER, fast track, an ENT clinic, and as an FNP at a more rural clinic. I'm in school now with Emergency Medicine as my undergraduate major. With several years of EMS experience, I found this video to be very helpful and accurate. I'm hoping to start a PA or NP program next year.
I had no idea how much demand there would be for PAs and NPs when I got into it 4 years ago... current PA-S and I couldn't be happier with my decision! We are gaining more and more recognition internationally and I'm counting the days to change our name in the US! 🤩❤
@@nym4960 I was partly thinking of Mathematics or Physics Masters degrees, though, since that's my double major right now. Though, to be fair, cyber security may also need review.
A little cheat code for the teen agers watching this… 3 years of military service, any branch any job, you will earn a GI Bill that pays for 36months of college while also giving you a monthly housing allowance for the area you live in ($4,200 when i went to school in SF, $3500 for Oakland) you can get a bachelors with no debt. Not a recruiter just a twenty something year old college student who got a gi bill
Awesome video! I was pre-med for the past 2 years until more recently this semester I have been transition to PA cuz of the flexibility and work-life balance. Glad it made it to the top two!
Retired Respiratory Therapist here. I also have a degree in Computer Science so I've worked in healthcare and business. My advice is work in healthcare. You will be far happier than you will be working in business.
Yes can you please make a video about differences between a Nurse Practitioner and a Physician Assistant. I am going to college next year and I am really stuck in between those two. By the way, I love your videos. You explain everything so good. Thank you 🙏
NP requires a BSN first. then you get a masters in a specific specialty. For PA, you can get an undergrad degree in anything just complete the pre-reqs and take the GRE. you’ll also need at least 1000 hours of patient care before applying. there’s more flexibility though with changing specialties but you can’t prescribe meds and need oversight from a physician unlike NP
I’m 21 now and I graduated high school with some college hours that I took at my community college for dual enrollment. I had a job at a restaurant all throughout high school and when I turned 18 I became a server. I moved out of my parents and was living on my own. I decided to take a gap year, and honestly I felt lost. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and I think I was a little bit depressed. I felt stuck because once I was on my own, I had to make enough money for rent bills etc. I felt stuck and just decided that my fate was to be a career server. Now, I’m 21 and I will start nursing school soon and my goal is to become a nurse practitioner! I’m so happy it’s so high on the list!
Since childhood, it has been my aim to become a doctor bt ur videos helped me a lot. Here in India, we have nearly 66,000 or say 70,000 seats under NEET ( government ) bt 18-19 lakhs students appear for it every year. So for 2 years, I have had that tension, what to do if not medical and I didn't want to drop. Bt finally, I kept a plan B with CRNA. Thank u Shane👍😊
Physical therapist have a lot of options like working with athletes and helping them overcome injury and perform on the field how is OT more satisfying?
Me: waiting for physician assistant because that’s what I want to do: comes out as number 1: Me: Yes! I feel like many ppl don’t recognize PA’s, everyone wants to be a nurse. Better for me though! I also wanted to be a nurse anesthetist, but I found out about PA and it’s less school, still six figures, very flexible with changing what you want to do
One of the reasons why I chose to study nursing. There are so many different areas one can choose from and specialize in. I will be graduating with my BSN next school year and then specialize in Labor & Delivery to become a certified midwife.
Bro, you left paramedics, med lab technicians and med lab scientists, x ray technicians, perfusionists, there's also associate degree in anesthesiology.
Please discuss perfusion!! So little known. Good pay but can be some long hours during open hearts. More of an independent /less outgoing personality. But also need to be confident and effective communicator when the time comes. Yes u work under a doc during surgery but you are really in control of the heart and lung machine on your own. Only 2 or so years after BS depending on the program. A downside is it can be get old and repetitive... same machine/methods every surgury ..
There is no associate degree in anesthesiology. You have to be a MD or a CRNA (nurse) to administer anesthesia. Now there are probably 2 year degrees for anesthesiology assistants, but not an anesthesiologist.
I was strongly into surgery for a long time, but looked into ob gyn and strongly interested, now looking at being a nurse practitioner. I didn’t think I would change my mind so much 😭
Respiratory Therapy is a great field and pays very well, too. Usually fast becoming a BA degree. I have been one for over 35 years and have worked around the world (Saudi Arabia), have been a department manager in a big hospital, educator in a large hospital, and have started my own healthcare company. You can specialize in different fields of medicine including sleep, intensive care, etc. I would highly recommend getting an undergraduate and RRT. In addition, this is a great field for introverts since there are positions where you can work alone on a shift and you are also not totally responsible for the patient like an RN is. RT has come a long long ways in the 35 years I have been in it. Definitely worth consideration if you like the medical field. I am currently working at a small hospital in the US and am making over 75K a year working part time. There are also a lot of traveling RT jobs where you make even more. it does require a state license and continuing education.
Medical Technologist is another good 4 year degree option for people who want some of the perks of working in heath care (job security, unions, decent pay 65-75k starting) and prefer to do science instead of having direct patient contact. The job outlook is phenomenal due to a shortage of clinical lab scientists and many hospitals even offer sign on bonuses.
Speaking of physician assistant I was going for medical ethics but I realized it would take most of my life and as a pa I could go into cardiology without going to medical school for cardiology
@@josemaqueda8334 Granted a PA is nowhere near a cardiologist (MD) in terms of knowledge, impact on patient's life, prestige, money, practice independence, it's a great option.
Vazcov1609 I’m not in college yet I barely graduated high school this may is it worth going. For full blown cardiologist I don’t mind going to school for a long time I’m only 18
Thank you so much, Shane! I am in the second semester of the university and I am interested in Public Health but my school only offer certificate and master degree in Public Health. I want to get a Bachelor's degree do you have any advice? Also, what's your thought on Public Health? Thanks!
Great video, as always. I had to do a lot of research when I was deciding on my college major, and thankfully I was able to make a financially smart decision and chose Electrical Engineering. Nice to see someone on the internet make this information more easily accessible and digestible.
Just another great video! Your videos are getting better 😁 I was surprised that pharmacist was not in the list, as you have chosen to become one yourself ... 😮
What about Medical/Clinical Laboratory Scientist? We are also the backbone of the hospital, it is a wonderful career (very flexible) and I love it! But good video overall.
@@mia7827 Thats great! my undergrad was in Neuroscience in Philly and it doesnt matter as long as u do the required prereqs for the school(s) you are applying to. U can also do a bachelors degree in MLS or BS to MS depending on what the school is offering, I completed a Masters degree in it. Study hard because it is a lot of information and its hard to digest (a lot of it is application), and also try as best u can to find out how you study best and it will save you a lot of heartache (i learned that the hard way lol). Best of luck and thats awesome that you want to become one of us!
Nice, but you left out 1… Respiratory Care Practitioner (RRT). You spoke about not putting all your eggs in 1 basket, and some would say that RT would be however there are multiple directions that an RT can take. Sleep study, traveling RT, transport RT, critical care, adults, children, asthma care and much more, including medical sales. Just another option for ones who are interested in the medical field.
Amazing video as always, like button well and truly smashed. Would've saved myself a truckload of time and money if your channel existed when I was 16 lol!
Dentist is actually rated the 2nd best job in the US in terms of work life balance, income, job satisfaction, and much more. Plus unlike a physician you don't need a residency so u can graduate at 26. My mom is a dentist and she has her own practice, I have shadowed her a lot especially in the summer and the balance of everything is just perfect. Gonna become a dentist because of her and the debt is not that bad because I already have 150K saved up for college and I am only a junior in high school.
Also a dentist can make like 4 times more than a dental hygienist and plus you need a bachelor's in dental hygiene to make close to 100K a associates degree won't get u that much lol
You’re half right with the nurse practitioner facts. A Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) can work in family medicine and all sub specialties of internal medicine with the exception of critical/intensive care and inpatient hospital medicine (you have to be certified in acute care to do those specialties) but they cannot work in psychiatry, you have to be board certified as a Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) to work in that specialty.
Hey Shane! I was wondering why you didn't even mention pharmacy. I'm not from the US, but I'd be very interested in finding out what's your opinion on this profession. Do you think it's still worth it to work as a pharmacist nowadays? Thanks for the great video.

When he suggests shadowing over and over LISTEN to him. It’s so important!
Best way to learn. Cheers!
Do you need to be registered in a school to shadow?

16 and already stressed out about my future 😪I want to be a kid again guys😭
Just plan it out

Yes please!
I also would like this video!!
Yes I will. Cheers

Don't do pharmacy, job market is flooded with new grads that can't even get a phone interview for months. Automation is replacing pharmacists. Also, you'll graduating with 200-300k debt and no job offers. Watch Paul Tran pharmacist here in youtube to get the full picture.
I'm a nurse and I'm considering NP or PA in the future! You're right that the nurses get worked really hard in the hospital. I did change units to work in the operating room and so far it's been a lot better
Thanks for sharing that Sarah
Isn’t it easier for you to do NP route vs PA ? Goodluck !! I hope you do get into the program !
@@jenyabraham1294 I'm not too sure but they do have slightly different roles
@@sarahr3768 if you're already a registered nurse, it's definitey better to go the NP route
If you want to do surgery go the PA route
I have a Master of Science in Public Health degree. I was a patient/health educator for 20 years. I am now a health Coach working for a health plan.
When you're a doctor and you can't disagree 🤣🤣🤣
I bet they can't lol
you're awesome!
Would’ve never guessed you’re a doctor wit that profile picture and username lmfao
Never said I was either 🤣 What I mean is I don't see anyone saying his a doctor and he disagrees. because I think the video is pretty accurate and for the record no I am not a doctor. I am a full time troll lol
i agree that becoming a doctor won't get you all the money that some people enter it for, but i'm not in it for the money so i know it's not an issue
I’m a PT student and I love the field, couldn’t see myself doing anything else. But, I have many friends who went into other health care fields and here’s what I’ve learned:
I love PT school, however the debt income ratio is not amazing unless you you are a travel therapist or work in home care. But the job is extremely rewarding and PT is basically their own entity so you don’t have certain stresses such as being yelled at by doctors all the time like PAs/ nurses seem to experience. However I think those are great options too.
I think one of the best things someone can do is become an RN at a community college for barely any money and likely a hospital will pay for them to obtain their bachelors. I think this is a good idea for respiratory therapists as well. I believe that might be an option for radiation therapists as well.
In regards to PT I think many people are unaware that you need to obtain a doctorate in physical therapy that takes 7 years (unless you attend a 6 year direct entry program) before you can take the boards. It is also very expensive. Also that there is more to it than mobility. PTs are supposed to be experts in the human movement system including CV, msk, neuro, integumentary, etc. They can perform air away clearance techniques, perform sharp selective wound debridement, diagnosis a wide variety of injuries etc, assist in management of burns, treat lymphedema etc. But, often times other healthcare workers think their expertise only lies in orthopedics which isn’t true, there are specialties in neuro, ortho, oncology, sports, cardio pulm, women’s health and more.
Another reason I chose it was because I hate math and there is no dosing medications with PT, haha.
I think it also allows you to have autonomy over your patients as many states have direct access without the stress of patients being in life threatening condition all the time the way you might be stressed as an MD, etc.
I think over all I would say if you can help it, pick which ever one you can’t see yourself doing anything else besides and choose the cheapest/ fastest route. Also work hard right from the get-go because it won’t be fun if anything has to get repeated. Good luck health care people :)!
Wow! Thanks a lot for sharing that. I appreciate you left an insightful comment. Cheers!
I’m 16 and I want to become a NP ob/gyn! I can’t wait to start traveling and helping people where ever I go .
Sameeeee. I’m 16 as well and thinking to be an anesthesiologist. Helping many folks who need it definitely gonna make you feel good about yourself. And travelling gotta also be in that #1 spot. Wishing you the best tho for future. BE THAT DOCTOR 😁
Every high school graduate should watch your videos.
Thanks
Had a job waiting on me six months BEFORE I graduated nursing school in 2018.....now I’m pursuing my Master’s in FNP (Family Nurse Practitioner) 🤞🏽🤞🏽
Best of luck Janella
Hey I’m thinking of going into the nursing field how do you like it and also what’s your salary ??
Currently, in university to become a PA!! And was literally jumping up and down to see how far the PA profession made it up the list! This is even more motivation to stay on track and keep persistent, because the journey will definitely be challenging and also competitive!
You got this!
What are you majoring in?
@@briellemosey7603 I switched A LOT but I’m going to major in Nursing. Because I enjoy Science and Math. But major in something you’ll be able to study and focus on for a long time!
How's it going? I'm hoping to become a PA as well and plan on majoring in nursing too
I graduated high school a year ago today, and decided to take a gap year. I did a lot of research and chose to become a nurse practitioner, so I’m very pleased with the ranking!😂 Your videos helped me so much 💜
Good luck.. Cheers!
Smart move.. almost RIGHT AFTER highschool to pursue a VERY valuable, great paying and rewarding profession!! I wish I can turn back time sometimes and did my research (being a cook after going to a tech school.. 👎) when I should've gotten an ACTUAL degree in culinary management that would've helped me become farther along today oh well! Thankfully I'm back in school becoming an RD and restarting my side business (catering and consulting). Regardless, you're on the path!!
Thts wht I chose also and I was thrilled to see its ranking 😂
Keep in mind, you can get your Associate's in nursing; work a couple years in something like ER (you'll treat peds, geriatrics, psych, trauma etc) and gain some experience while bridging to bachelors and then to NP. Your employer will reimburse you as you'll gain experience while getting paid.
@@9StickNate that's a great ideaa!
My son wanted to work with children so he decided to become a pediatric nurse. I guided him through his journey so that he could complete his degree in the least amount of years and with little or no debt. First, in high school, he took classes in his junior and senior years that count for college credit. He took the maximum transferable credits which was 15, which equals one semester. He took freshman classes such as Psyc 1 and English 1. He then decided to attend a community college that offered a nursing degree. The tuition was cheaper and the competition to get into the program was lower than a four year college. Another advantage was that he would start his nursing courses almost immediately while at the four-year college, he'd have to complete all the liberal arts courses and then compete as he was entering his junior year, for a spot in the nursing program. What if he didn't make it? The route he chose, he completed his nursing courses and his 15 credits from high school transferred and he took his nursing exam after finishing getting his associates degree. He took the state licensing exam is now an RN. At the same time, the school had a partnership with a four-year college and he was accepted to finish getting his bachelor's degree. He is taking classes in the summer and winter and already has a nursing job starting at $72K. He is only 21 years old. He works in NYC and is looking to continue his education to become a nurse practitioner. Getting his degree was on the cheap. He lived at home and commuted to the community college and worked summers for pocket money. New York City's CUNY school system is not very expensive and state residents can get an Excelsior scholarship for free tuition. The hospital he works for already committed to paying for his master's program.
Would you be able to make best allied health professions too? Like genetic counselor, speech language pathologist, etc? Anyway great videos so far!!
Thanks for the feedback Jovana. I'll take note of your suggestion. Cheers!
also a video on health informatics for foreign medical graduates please
@Naveen Francis I’m an EMT going for an allied health degree. Unless you plan on getting your fire fighters license or plan on working in a major city it’ll be hard to live unless you work two + jobs. It’s also extremely hard on your body. There are ways to make good money (ie flight medic) but it’ll take time and will still be hard on the body after time.
I think the term “medical doctor” should be updated to “Physician”. Not all physicians are MDs and DOs are growing
Good point, that does include DO especially since they are merging
Pls what's DOs
That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. MDs are literally medical doctors...
Plus a stupid name change like that would have a lot of complicated downstream legal and practical effects (reimbursement rates and scopes)
@@jays5926 He's making the argument that not all physicians are MDs. DO's should not be stigmatized as being less trained than their MD counterparts, because they simply isn't true. And as for the "complicated downstream legal and practical effects", can you elaborate? I don't see an issue...
@@Brian-bd1gc I’m not sure about your country. But by legal definition, a physician is a health care professional who has obtained an MD. In terms of the terminology, I’ll use the example of D.Ch and D.pod. These share very similar scopes of practises but have very different billing capabilities (due to their schooling and education
Other than that, I don’t disagree with your premise at all - that [for example] DOs should be viewed different due to their unique approaches to therapy. We are all members of the same overall team
I am a dental hygienist and I am considering changing career paths because it is physically demanding. Your hands and arms will hurt and cramp up, your neck can become stiff, not sure how long I will make it with this job, its more than just cleaning teeth! Love that you included it in your video!
Cindy what else is done in dental hygiene and how are the job opportunities in that field?
I’m dental student in japan and I agree with this idea. Dentist is very inflexible job and only choice you can get after graduation is most likely to be dentist and you cannot work as any other type of doctor. Private school is pretty expensive, and public college(which run by government 国立) are super hard that can let you get into medical school. But as he said salary is pretty good, as older population grows in developed country, more patient will increase. Anyway thanks for the vid!!!
Thanks for sharing
Please do a part 2! I would love to hear your input on Registered Dietitians. I wish they had more recognition in the healthcare field
Agreed!
Nice suny!! Im becoming one. I wish you luck ☺🤓
Copy! I'll keep that in mind. Cheers!
wende patrella I am too😅! Goodluck to you too, wish you the best👏
Shane Hummus - The Success GPS Thank you, love your channel!
Love this - wish I had these types of videos while in high school. Also, I'm happy to see OT on the list!
Glad you enjoyed!
I’m happy to see it too since I’m an occupational Therapist
medical technology and respiratory therapy are also good careers to look at. it breaks my heart that we are often not acknowledged. we are definitely unsung heroes.
Salute to you guys!
I am so happy, I was legit planning to go into PA school, now confirmed. thanks a lot!
Good luck with your plans. Cheers!
Nurse Practitioner here! Love it! Love your video! Just finished my doctorate and husband is about to start PA school.
That is awesome!
Yesss a video on PA vs NP ...please & thank you !!
Noted Fresnie. Thanks for your suggestion. Cheers!
the vid is amazingggg and i cant wait to see the vid about nurse prec vs PA many thanks
Thanks for watching. Cheers!
PA is a better route. Nursing does not train you on the thought process needed for that kind of patient care. Just my experience.

Hi Shane! I'm a new subscriber! This is a REALLY good review! I've been a Physician Assistant for twenty years and currently work Hospitalist PA in Washington, D.C. It's a GREAT career. I'm STILL loving it! 😊❤👍🏾👨🏽⚕️
Welcome aboard! Subbed you back Omar
@@ShaneHummus Thanks! I REALLY appreciate that!
can you tell me more about being a PA please and what would be the best route
I'm proud to be a nurse!! 11 years and counting!! 🙀
Hey I’m in high school and thinking of becoming a nurse is it worth it and also what is your salary??
@@sofiag4377 my salary now is $30 per hour, every year you get a raise. It also depends which state you work at. I think it's worth it and nurses are always needed. I love what I do!
I’m in nursing school now. Loving it even though there is a lot of work.
Hang in there, that's a nice career
How hard is it?
Also do u suggest finishing GEs in CC then transfer to do nursing?
assassin it is a lot of studying and needing to know how things work and understanding. I would say finish your GE first because that will help. But there are some schools where you can do nursing classes with your ge classes
I am a RN in California. RN easily make over $120K per year but extremely competitive field. Need straight A’s in nursing prerequisites to get in to a nursing program and after you graduate, even more competitive to get a job. But once you land a job and have at least of a year experience, you are set. It is a very rewarding and demanding career.
My sister is in PA school, I had no idea how good it was!
Thanks for explaining the difference between PT and OT so well ! I am an occupational therapist working in a hospital and I love what I am doing, I highly recommend this field to someone who enjoys helping people, problem solvers and constant learners. Do make sure you go to a public school! I would not recommend taking student loan debt more than 70k- 80k (National OT average annual salary), otherwise you’ll be struggling with payments for a very long time !!
You got it Jeny
i’m currently a senior in high school and I’m stressing on what I want to study for the future and become😭😭😭
Saame
I keep switching on what i want to do after
Same, I’m having trouble picking a major
i'm 27 and starting all over again, don't be hard on yourself
@@MegaXwillx it’s never too late for anything :))))
I just don’t want to waste time and regret it for the rest of my life
The only reason why I would rate NP as #1 and PA as #2 instead is because you can make money as you work from RN (2yrs) to NP (6yrs), whereas as a PA you have to wait 6 yrs to actually start making money. Also, the fact that PA is not recognized in many countries (completely nonexistent), whereas nurses are recognized internationally, so if anyone ever plans on traveling or living in a different country, it’s something important to consider. ☺️
SAME!
You've mentioned physical therapists and occupational therapists. You didn't mention speech language pathologists! They are part of the rehabilitation package as well!!!
Stay tuned
You’ve grown so much , I’m so proud.
Thanks for the support. Cheers!
Great video Shane! I have a friend taking dentistry and it costs him about $300k for schooling.
I’m sure it would pay off over time, but I totally agree with you on the debt side of things!
Thanks man! For me I'd rather go for a good career where I don't have to wait decades before it starts paying off. Enjoying life while you still can is where it's at. Cheers!
I’m a nursing major and end goal to be a Nurse practioner , people need to understand that you must work hard to reach success. There is a lot of memorizing and it’s time consuming. But at the end work pays off. Cheating is not an answer, ask yourself, do you want a doctor who cheated, no! So work hard and stay patient , and u will c the majic!
Thanks for sharing that. Our viewers would appreciate your tips as well. Cheers!
@ Zayd hijazi memorization? Maybe in your country where advances in medical care are lacking. I see this common in the Philippines where nursing is taught 3rd world and not like in the USA. Which is why so many foreign trained nurses struggle passing the Nclex-RN which is based on critical thinking (not memorization). So yeah medical and nursing is taught differently in developed countries vs 3rd world.
I love how he's being so realistic
I was waiting for him to say " Pharmacist " in the list :( anyways loved the video 👍🏻
Next time! lol
@@ShaneHummus Please consider in your video the current job market that is full of unemployed or part-time/per diem pharmacists who can't get a full time job for years. Pharmacy schools fool young people that haven't gotten their research and pump out new grads with 200-300k student loans to the real world where is no job. There is a negative growth -3% in the job outlook, plus automation plays a role that pharmacist have been gradually replaced by machines. Watch Paul Tran pharmacist youtube channel.
Me too
Awesomeness!!! Been waiting for this video.. Thanks Shane! Not skipping ads, Promise!
You're the best!
hey, just an update: occupational therapists are transitioning into requiring a doctorate degree. its fairly new, but is now required to get your licence. also, both ots and pts ask patients what they want to do/goal set with patients. so ots mainly focus on improving one's ability to do adls (activities of daily living), where pts work to improve on function, mobility, and pain management. otherwise, great job describing them!
Thanks for watching Leeann
I was pursuing a nursing degree but switched to hospital administration after I started working in a hospital. I realized I'm more of a visionary vs a detailed focused person. I wanted to work on leading projects in the healthcare industry. 3 years later I'm working as a the lead project manager for my local health department. Also, I probably would have quit once covid started, no amount of money would convince me to risk my health for a patient 😩
Good luck in your career Kendra
Just some clarification on nurse practitioners: we can't just switch to another specialty, we would have to go back to school to get the didactics and clinicals and take that particular specialty board exam before anyone will hire us to do that particular job. Additionally, most schools are transitioning to the Doctor of Nursing Practice degree and phasing out the master's degree. PAs, on the other hand can switch more easily between specialties, as you mentioned.
Super helpful video! I am currently in EMT class and have no idea what I want to pursue after, all I know is that I want to go into the medical field. This video helped me narrow it down a little more!
Thanks for watching Jason
At the last hospital I worked at, one of the PAs traveled over 6 hours to work in the ER and also did stents at the urgent care clinic. He loved it but could easily transfer to any other specialty as he had done work in other areas.
One of the NPs working in the ER (that I worked in) also worked at the other local ER, fast track, an ENT clinic, and as an FNP at a more rural clinic.
I'm in school now with Emergency Medicine as my undergraduate major. With several years of EMS experience, I found this video to be very helpful and accurate. I'm hoping to start a PA or NP program next year.
Hey Dustin! Thanks for sharing that
I love your down to earth analysis. Very helpful and funny as well.
I appreciate that
I had no idea how much demand there would be for PAs and NPs when I got into it 4 years ago... current PA-S and I couldn't be happier with my decision! We are gaining more and more recognition internationally and I'm counting the days to change our name in the US! 🤩❤
Nice.. Good luck Uma
You are actually a really good UA-camr, keep up the good work 👍
I appreciate that! Thanks
Can you PLEASE make list of best Masters degrees (employability, salary).
Maybe some time in the future.. anything specific you want me to cover? Cheers!
@@ShaneHummus Maybe a video on STEM major Master degrees? Then again, I'm not the first person who had this idea.
Cyber Security is a good STEM degree for Masters. You can make a lot of money.
@@nym4960 I was partly thinking of Mathematics or Physics Masters degrees, though, since that's my double major right now. Though, to be fair, cyber security may also need review.
@@jessicatsao92 yep!
No more autofocus problems better video quality.. Great video in total!
Yes! Thank you!
A little cheat code for the teen agers watching this… 3 years of military service, any branch any job, you will earn a GI Bill that pays for 36months of college while also giving you a monthly housing allowance for the area you live in ($4,200 when i went to school in SF, $3500 for Oakland) you can get a bachelors with no debt. Not a recruiter just a twenty something year old college student who got a gi bill
Awesome video! I was pre-med for the past 2 years until more recently this semester I have been transition to PA cuz of the flexibility and work-life balance. Glad it made it to the top two!
Thanks for watching Steven. Cheers!
Retired Respiratory Therapist here. I also have a degree in Computer Science so I've worked in healthcare and business. My advice is work in healthcare. You will be far happier than you will be working in business.
Yes can you please make a video about differences between a Nurse Practitioner and a Physician Assistant. I am going to college next year and I am really stuck in between those two. By the way, I love your videos. You explain everything so good. Thank you 🙏
Thanks for your feedback. Noted your request
NP requires a BSN first. then you get a masters in a specific specialty. For PA, you can get an undergrad degree in anything just complete the pre-reqs and take the GRE. you’ll also need at least 1000 hours of patient care before applying. there’s more flexibility though with changing specialties but you can’t prescribe meds and need oversight from a physician unlike NP
@@ayonnajefferson9987 thank youuu
dentist in America having a huge amount of debt , me laughs in UK
Sad truth
hahahahaa student loan debt hahahahaah
Liked the video before watching it! Hey Shane, can you do a video about health management and health science majors?
🤩🤩🤩
Thanks for the suggestion. I might make one in the future so stick around. Cheers!
I’m 21 now and I graduated high school with some college hours that I took at my community college for dual enrollment. I had a job at a restaurant all throughout high school and when I turned 18 I became a server. I moved out of my parents and was living on my own. I decided to take a gap year, and honestly I felt lost. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and I think I was a little bit depressed. I felt stuck because once I was on my own, I had to make enough money for rent bills etc. I felt stuck and just decided that my fate was to be a career server. Now, I’m 21 and I will start nursing school soon and my goal is to become a nurse practitioner! I’m so happy it’s so high on the list!
Girl .. I was in the same situation as you
Thanks for sharing. Good luck
Shane Hummus - The Success GPS thank you so much!
Love the work bro! Keep it up. Looking forward to your business degrees video.
Coming soon! Monday to be exact. Cheers!
@@ShaneHummus Quality of the content is amazing! Will really appreciate if you make an economics degree video.
I’ve been in the nursing field for over 12 yrs. I decided to go for NP degree,and I definitely agree with you on your video.
Since childhood, it has been my aim to become a doctor bt ur videos helped me a lot. Here in India, we have nearly 66,000 or say 70,000 seats under NEET ( government ) bt 18-19 lakhs students appear for it every year. So for 2 years, I have had that tension, what to do if not medical and I didn't want to drop. Bt finally, I kept a plan B with CRNA. Thank u Shane👍😊

@@amanpreetkaur7744 hey, hi
I just graduated OT school and you described it perfectly!
Thanks for your feedback. Cheers!
Yeah, I agree with you 100% on the ranking. I would say if you include "how rewarding the field is," then OT would be a little higher than PT.
Thanks for the suggestion Daniel. Cheers!
Physical therapist have a lot of options like working with athletes and helping them overcome injury and perform on the field how is OT more satisfying?
Brandon Smith Kinesiology is good to!
@@brandonsmith4039 OTs can too. I know an OT who works with hands only. He does a lot of work with The Spurs.
I graduated with an associate degree in medical assisting about 18 months ago. Over $28,000 in debt. Still no job.
Me: waiting for physician assistant because that’s what I want to do: comes out as number 1: Me: Yes! I feel like many ppl don’t recognize PA’s, everyone wants to be a nurse. Better for me though! I also wanted to be a nurse anesthetist, but I found out about PA and it’s less school, still six figures, very flexible with changing what you want to do
Nice.. Best of luck Laritza
Shane Hummus - The Success GPS Thank you, I appreciate you! Same to you Shane!
One of the reasons why I chose to study nursing. There are so many different areas one can choose from and specialize in. I will be graduating with my BSN next school year and then specialize in Labor & Delivery to become a certified midwife.
Bro, you left paramedics, med lab technicians and med lab scientists, x ray technicians, perfusionists, there's also associate degree in anesthesiology.
I might make a part 2 and include that bro
Please discuss perfusion!! So little known. Good pay but can be some long hours during open hearts. More of an independent /less outgoing personality. But also need to be confident and effective communicator when the time comes. Yes u work under a doc during surgery but you are really in control of the heart and lung machine on your own. Only 2 or so years after BS depending on the program. A downside is it can be get old and repetitive... same machine/methods every surgury ..
Paramedic isn't a major
Angel right it’s like a certificate
There is no associate degree in anesthesiology. You have to be a MD or a CRNA (nurse) to administer anesthesia. Now there are probably 2 year degrees for anesthesiology assistants, but not an anesthesiologist.
I was strongly into surgery for a long time, but looked into ob gyn and strongly interested, now looking at being a nurse practitioner. I didn’t think I would change my mind so much 😭
Your new set up looks amazing!
Thanks
Respiratory Therapy is a great field and pays very well, too. Usually fast becoming a BA degree. I have been one for over 35 years and have worked around the world (Saudi Arabia), have been a department manager in a big hospital, educator in a large hospital, and have started my own healthcare company. You can specialize in different fields of medicine including sleep, intensive care, etc. I would highly recommend getting an undergraduate and RRT. In addition, this is a great field for introverts since there are positions where you can work alone on a shift and you are also not totally responsible for the patient like an RN is. RT has come a long long ways in the 35 years I have been in it. Definitely worth consideration if you like the medical field. I am currently working at a small hospital in the US and am making over 75K a year working part time. There are also a lot of traveling RT jobs where you make even more. it does require a state license and continuing education.
Please i would like to talk more about this, i am in school for this now, and start next summer.
After arts you can't enter health care
Shane your videos are my research😂 So glad I started watching you before I returned to college😁
Glad you like them lily
The major problem of medical courses is to get a licence. Whenever u move to a different country u have to get a licence to practice in that country
Great video, you don t even know how you just put a light in my life. Bunch of thanks🙏🙏😍❤
Welcome Mariam!
I’m making $40,000/month as an RN right now. And that’s only with an Associates. We get overworked but at this current moment definitely not underpaid
What’s your contact info?
Do a video on genetic counseling!
Thanks for your suggestion. Cheers!
Medical Technologist is another good 4 year degree option for people who want some of the perks of working in heath care (job security, unions, decent pay 65-75k starting) and prefer to do science instead of having direct patient contact. The job outlook is phenomenal due to a shortage of clinical lab scientists and many hospitals even offer sign on bonuses.
Nice.. Thanks for sharing that
Speaking of physician assistant I was going for medical ethics but I realized it would take most of my life and as a pa I could go into cardiology without going to medical school for cardiology
How is it working out for you so far? Cheers!
Shane Hummus - The Success GPS i switched from philosophy to biochemistry with a minor in philosophy
@@josemaqueda8334 Granted a PA is nowhere near a cardiologist (MD) in terms of knowledge, impact on patient's life, prestige, money, practice independence, it's a great option.
Vazcov1609 I’m not in college yet I barely graduated high school this may is it worth going. For full blown cardiologist I don’t mind going to school for a long time I’m only 18
Thank you so much, Shane! I am in the second semester of the university and I am interested in Public Health but my school only offer certificate and master degree in Public Health. I want to get a Bachelor's degree do you have any advice? Also, what's your thought on Public Health? Thanks!
Public health interesting give it your all and go for it
Great video, as always. I had to do a lot of research when I was deciding on my college major, and thankfully I was able to make a financially smart decision and chose Electrical Engineering. Nice to see someone on the internet make this information more easily accessible and digestible.

Hi Shane what are your thoughts on a Public Health- Healthcare Administration bachelors? would love your opinion on this major
GREAT QUESTION! IM WONDERING THE SAME.
Just another great video! Your videos are getting better 😁 I was surprised that pharmacist was not in the list, as you have chosen to become one yourself ... 😮
Thanks David.. Well, I'm saving Pharmacy for a separate video haha Cheers!

I am junior now and considering to do biochemistry in college to work in laboratory. Any advice?
@@mia7827 Thats great! my undergrad was in Neuroscience in Philly and it doesnt matter as long as u do the required prereqs for the school(s) you are applying to. U can also do a bachelors degree in MLS or BS to MS depending on what the school is offering, I completed a Masters degree in it. Study hard because it is a lot of information and its hard to digest (a lot of it is application), and also try as best u can to find out how you study best and it will save you a lot of heartache (i learned that the hard way lol). Best of luck and thats awesome that you want to become one of us!
Stay tuned as I might talk more about that in the future. Cheers!
@@kadiansenoj1849 that is so cool, in my country it works a little different, what do you think is phd worth it or is it better to get experience
@@mia7827 I think experience is better and if I could do things differently I would Just complete the BS in it instead :).
Nice, but you left out 1… Respiratory Care Practitioner (RRT). You spoke about not putting all your eggs in 1 basket, and some would say that RT would be however there are multiple directions that an RT can take. Sleep study, traveling RT, transport RT, critical care, adults, children, asthma care and much more, including medical sales. Just another option for ones who are interested in the medical field.
Amazing video as always, like button well and truly smashed. Would've saved myself a truckload of time and money if your channel existed when I was 16 lol!
Much appreciated!
Dentist is actually rated the 2nd best job in the US in terms of work life balance, income, job satisfaction, and much more. Plus unlike a physician you don't need a residency so u can graduate at 26. My mom is a dentist and she has her own practice, I have shadowed her a lot especially in the summer and the balance of everything is just perfect. Gonna become a dentist because of her and the debt is not that bad because I already have 150K saved up for college and I am only a junior in high school.
Also a dentist can make like 4 times more than a dental hygienist and plus you need a bachelor's in dental hygiene to make close to 100K a associates degree won't get u that much lol
Also a dentist with their own practice make wayyyyy more than 160K easily most make more than 200K
Thanks for sharing
sheesh 150k????

Awesome! Good luck Ahmed. Cheers!
@@ShaneHummus Thanks a lot man
I always thought that nurses are underestimated, now I'm not and I'm proud that in nursing school ❤️😊
You’re half right with the nurse practitioner facts. A Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) can work in family medicine and all sub specialties of internal medicine with the exception of critical/intensive care and inpatient hospital medicine (you have to be certified in acute care to do those specialties) but they cannot work in psychiatry, you have to be board certified as a Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) to work in that specialty.
Thanks for your input Chris
Hey Shane! I was wondering why you didn't even mention pharmacy. I'm not from the US, but I'd be very interested in finding out what's your opinion on this profession. Do you think it's still worth it to work as a pharmacist nowadays? Thanks for the great video.
