Now, there are a lot of benefits to getting one of the top associate degrees, you can start earning money sooner, you spend less money on a college degree (less student debt), and you can always go back to school if you want to further your career. The best paid jobs with an associates degrees tend to be in specialized fields, so it is important to know what you enjoy doing and what type of career you want, if you choose this route. The highest paying 2 year degrees also tend do require further certifications and licensing to prove that you know what you're doing. Some examples of jobs with high salary and less education are associate degree engineering, dental hygienists, respiratory therapists, and air traffic controllers. One of the most important things for 2 year majors that make a lot of money are accreditations, which I stress A LOT in this video. Even with the best associate degrees, if you cant prove your education was valuable it will be tough to find a job.
So, what associate degrees pay the most? Now YOU have the answer.

Thanks for the video. Can you do a video on business degrees. Specifically what is available to AA holders.
I honestly feel community college is way undervalued in society. Their degree programs often provide smaller classes, at a cheaper price, with practical content that you can readily use upon graduation.
I’m getting an associates in nursing for a little over 20k

"Community College is only for people who need to improve their grades. A degree from a community College won't get you anywhere."
I was told this in high school. I firmly believe that the educational system is failing society. I tell anyone that asks for advice that College is not the only option.
@@nikolnolastname4473 community college can definitely be used for that as they really dont turn anyone down. But a degree from there can get you started in your field and get you into another college.
@@nikolnolastname4473 depending where you go not all is bad just got to be smart with your choices also experience gets you more money, but you shouldn’t just go for the money because you won’t last long at the job

How are you finding the program is it difficult? And also is there a test for certification that has to be done
@@teleshiatomlinson9358 not sure who the question was for but I don’t mind answering and I can tell you that I just googled each program and it’s requirements/tests for your location. Most community colleges offer many of these programs. I’d start with those in your area and if that doesn’t work then you may want to consider a commute or relocation.
Thanks
I am a teacher. I am 60 and I still owe 68k in student loans. It was not worth it.

Hey, if it's ok, can I ask if there nurses such as RNs who work in a military?
@@jeannettenanteguza5098 Yes! RNs are officers in the military. There are also nurses who are contractors meaning, they work on the base for the military but are not in the military.
That’s amazing!!
What branch are you in??
I’m in hygiene school, just curious what you needed to do to get a job onto the military base?
I got an associates in Registered Nursing (ADN). School was around $5,000 at a community college. Financial aid helped big time. I only had to cover my travel costs to attend class and clinicals. I'm making close to $95,000 gross straight out of school. My workplace will help cover my Bachelors degree as well. Not an easy job, especially right now with the pandemic, but its good money. I am in a higher cost of living state though. I like to be transparent, hope this info helps someone.
Hi Calabaza, thank you for your informations. I am interested in getting an ADN. I am no longer young, I don’t want to spend 4 years in school. Do you mind telling me how can I get there, please ? Thank you in advance
@@nabouny21 Don't let age hold you back. The average age for a student in my class was 30. The oldest being in her 50's.
@@nabouny21 Generally, you have to complete the following courses: Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology, College level math, College level english. Those are usually the main classes. Some Nursing programs can sometimes also ask for Chemistry, Communications, etc, All these courses can be taken at a Community College and transferred into whatever nursing program you get accepted to. Before you can apply though, you have to first take an exam called the TEAS, or HESI, it depends on your state.
As for timeframe. If you are able to attend full time, you should be able to knock out all the pre-requirements within 1-2 years. Then you take your test (TEAS/HESI). Then you apply to nursing programs. The programs themselves can range from 1.5-3 years. You can decided between an accelerated program (these are fast paced,) an associates (usually at a community college) which are 2 years, or at a University (3 years). All in all it takes around 4-5 years to become a nurse.
Life likes to throw curve balls at me. It took me 7 years to make it to where I am today.. :) I have friends that completed within 4 years though. Hope this helps!

I am an Interventional Radiologic technologist which is an associates degree in Radiology. I make over 100k a year plus call time!! I love my career plus no student loans!!!
Was the program hard, miss?
@@poodlemynoodle2622 um the Radiology program was not very hard it’s just very time consuming and you can easily fall behind if your not on top of it. Then I got trained in IR once I got a job.
Yup! Another profession in imaging that the salary is higher than nursing.
@ Poodle my Noodle: In all honesty, none of the Radiological professions are “easy”. The programs are accelerated and like she said if you don’t study DAILY you will fall behind and fail.
@@ericabutler2722 what do you specializing in? I'm thinking of doing XRay
All those thinking to go into nursing for the money, don’t. Do it cause it’s a passion you have. To provide direct care for others when they are sick. To hold the persons hand as they take in their last breath....I can’t say how many nurses I see who wanted to work as a nurse because of the job security and pay. So many of them lack compassion and understanding. Glorified pill pushers is what they are known as. It’s a high stressful job that’s emotionally and physically draining at times. The pay can be good depending on what state you are in and where you work. Most long term facilities pay more, but the nurse to patient ration is high. Definitely research into it more first before choosing!
I agree. My mother is in the medical field as a clinical nurse specialist we both reside in south Florida; She loves her job and spends hours on end caring for patients. She often comes home with gifts from her recovering clients. Just like in every profession there's good and bad apples.....but in my opinion mainly down here in south Florida it's a bunch more of bad apples. Some nurses often neglect the ill and weak in a hospital where a patient expects care and compassion. One day my mother came home crying of disappointment. She walked into a patient's room and overheard one of the nurses telling the patients to wait 30 minutes (she was going to clock out in 30 mins) to release herself of waste and the second shift was going to handle it. After the nurse told the patient that luckily the patient was some what understanding and waited. Meanwhile, the nurse walked out and walked back to her station and was using her phone while chit chatting with others. That is sickening. I wish you all the best of luck and care for others.
I guess they started making associates programs to lure more people into the field without having to go to such strenous years of training because there is such a lack of nurses nowadays. Image what will happen if people started to find more and more interest in other careers and this nursing field dies....lol.
Couldn't agree with you more!
But there are other areas of nursing besides patient care...if one lacks the compassion and empathy needed to be in patient care, they can move to logistics, informatics, research, pharmaceutical, and other areas...
@@kim___P4P There is a difference though if you know that bedside isn’t for you, then look into something that requires less interaction. I agree with you 100% about other routes. My point was simply the ones that choose to just do bedside without care and compassion is all. I see it all too often and I think it’s best for those looking into a nursing career to look into it a little more first :)
As someone trying to return to college in my mid-late 20s, I recommend that anyone who is not completely sure on their career to get a trade through a vocational/technical college first. It will provide a reliable income that will help you in affording future schooling, and it means you have more meaningful work than working some dead end retail/fast food job until you finish other studies you have in mind. I wish I considered this route further before going two years into a major that I was not 100% sure was what I wanted a degree in.
Well said, I’m 24 working at Walmart rn and I hate it... wasted my time at college and didn’t take it seriously while I was there. Now I’m looking into trade schools for other options.
Yes this is my plan. I’m in school for cna and plan on taking dental hygiene prerequisites in the fall 🙏🏾
Can you elaborate the vocational/technical college? What does that mean?
@@MichaellaAnne Technical colleges are schools that mostly cater to providing Associates(2 year) degree programs for jobs that do not require a Bachelor's or higher, or provide certification courses to further your existing job qualifications. You often can take pre-req classes for cheaper there and then transfer into a 4 year college if you want. Vocational schools pretty much skip ALL pre req stuff like English or humanities and all of your courses are focused on the actual work you will do with your certification. Sometimes you can finish a vocational program in 6-12 months for the same certification that technical colleges make you study 2 years for.
@@stargazer9 good luck with the CNA work. That was the first certification I gained after dropping out of my first college. It is rewarding work if you care about serving and helping others, but it can be physically demanding at times. And hopefully you are in a state that actually pays CNAs because most southern states(outside of large cities) really take advantage of the lack of change in minimum wage the past decade or two.
I’m a sonographer, I’m glad we made it on the list! The job is definitely not as easy as it may seem, but the money is good 👍🏼
Hi! hope this is not too invasive but how did you become a sonographer? I am currently in my 3rd year of a bachelor of science and I want to become a sonographer? do you have any tips on what to do and how to become one?
@@nasragele371
1. Search for programs near you
2. Take required pre-requisites
3. apply to program
4. Choose a modality(Cardiovascular, general ect)
Tell me about it. First off I’m so tired of ppl thinking Sonographers main job description is “looking at babies” Ugh! I find it to be so disrespectful and ignorant. They belittle what we do by thinking the main reason for Obstetrical Ultrasound is to rule out any form of abnormalities. Medically speaking no one cares of the gender of a fetus. Not me nor the radiologist. Gender reveal are done at doctors offices complimentary or an entertainment facility. Pregnant ultrasounds are the LEAST of what we do. It’s predominantly an exam for soft tissue organs as in Liver, testicles, breast, thyroid Kidneys etc... and veins and arteries. You have to know and recognize diseases in all those exams.
So our job is definitely NOT a “no brainer” job. It’s a lot of responsibility. If you have cancer and I scan you and I don’t find it then you’re going home with it undiagnosed. Sonographers are the ones who diagnose anything wrong. The Radiologist co-signs on it. Sonographers are Radiologist’s eyeballs. So we have a lot on our backs. It’s a great field if you’re someone who is good with details, hand and eye coordination. I just wish ppl would respect what we do and not think we’re just “baby picture takers” like a Sears photographer.
@ Nasra: Find out if your university offers “Diagnostic Medical Sonography” program. That’s the proper title of Sonographers. Since you’re a science major you might already have a lot of the pre-requisite classes. If not find and ACCREDITED school that offers it. Accreditation is IMPORTANT ! Or else you’ll get ripped off and will never work or be able to sit for your boards. You can either pick General Sonography, Echocardiography, or Vascular Sonography program.
Hope this helped.
Back and body hurts 😭😭😭
I got a 2 year degree from a community college in Computer Networking and make 78K a year in Ohio . My 2400 square foot home with a big wrap around porch in a nice little town cost me $110,000.
The coastal cities are just not worth the price to survive.
@ Lewis: Tell em’!!!! Good for you!!
You are so right! I keep telling these youngsters of today that it’s NOT all about going to a
“fancy schmancy “ university so you or your parents can brag about. You HAVE to look into certain professions to see actually what will be your end result after it’s all said and done. For example, a B.S. degree in Psychology. What can you really do with that straight out of college and what kind of salary?? But I can bet you the school loan is sky high, smh.

I attended a community college to obtain a science degree while working a full-time job with a young family. I have no student debt. I chose it over the University and I’m so glad I did. I earned over $113K last year. I’d like to go for another community college degree this Fall.
What do you work as?
what do you do
Iktr! I don't want no debt
What work did u do
Damn go off I love it
My advice for anyone wanting to join the medical field, try to get a job at a hospital as a CNA or other positions before you fully commit. I was attending community college for my nursing degree and while working at a hospital, I learned that nursing just wasn’t for me!
This ^^^^ I'm so glad that I went through a CNA program first before transferring to a 4-year university to finish my university degree because during clinicals I realized how much I hate working in a hospital. I'm happy I made that realization BEFORE going into tons of debt.
I know I'm late but YES!! No matter which type of medical field you're going into., consider CNA as a first job. You get to tune up your communication and interpersonal skills with patients and coworkers and you get to see every bit of everything in healthcare. I really like my job as a CNA, but I learned nursing is not for me and applying to rad tech school now. BUT many of the better RNs I work with said that being a CNA helped them to become better in nursing school and be the awesome nurses they are now!

............YOU.......... Couldve typed it if you didnt see it.
Thank you for covering this. I feel people can easily overlook associates degree.
This was a great and eye-opening video Hasham (or Hashan, I'm just going off of memory). If I had known about these occupations (with air traffic controller being the exception due to high stress) I probably would be working by now. One thing that I realized is how many people (me included) have been taught by our parents, or society, to get at least a bachelor's degree and we will be better off. But many people forget about the existence of student loans. During my time in an undergrad speech-language pathology program (which requires a Master's before you can even get employed), I can't tell you how many students I've ran into that go to college and work even though our advisors and faculty members strongly suggest not to do this. As a result, their biggest complaint tends to be how much studying time is lost and stuff relating to finances. Also, people tend to focus on how many figures they make a year, but as you mentioned in one of your videos, you can take advantage of compound interest and earn plenty towards retirement as you can work in your 60s (which an AA will allow someone to do). Keep up with the great videos!!!
A certified respiratory therapist is only the beginning. There’s another test to take and pass to become a registered respiratory therapist; RRTs are preferred since it is the highest credential and there’s more pay.
Even after you get your registry there are other credentials that you can add to that provided you pass additional credentialing exams: critical care specialty, pulmonary function technology, neonatal specialist etc. all of these credentials means more specialized and more money.
how do you get extra credentials? BA or just extra study? CEs?
@@CloudslnMyCoffee you have to pass exams to get other credentials.
Love your comment! Im a year and a half away from my bachelors in respiratory! Pulmonary function and critical care are at the top of my list!!! 💗
@@didib9522 Unfortunately the bachelors in RT only holds value if you plan to teach or manage. For bedside care it doesn't seem to provide any benefit. The RT's I've met with bachelors degrees ultimately regretted spending the time and money.

Thanks for this. It was interesting. It’s crazy to see how people with Associates are paid more than many with Bachelors.
It depends on what you get a degree in. If you go for anything with the word “studies” (ie. East Asian studies, women and gender studies), humanities (ie. history, psychology, sociology) or hard science (ie. Chemistry, biology, physics) you won’t be able to get a high paying job with just a bachelors. Unless of course you go to an Ivy League where your major doesn’t matter and you can get any job you want.
associates degree will get you as far as a entry level position at a job meanwhile higher level education can get you to that senior position. But also depends what you study and get the degree in
@@omgfreddy698 it depends on what field you’re in. You won’t be able to get an entry-level accounting job with just an associates (the field I’m currently in). Bookkeeping is below accounting.
@@jamesglimco4371its what i said lol it will take u as far as entry level while bachelor/master will get you mid to senior level in jobs… but it does depend on your choice of studies

I am a college Career Counselor. Thank you for this channel. Great information. Best I’ve seen on YT! Keep it coming; you are right on target.
What to study ti become a career counselor?
@@kaylb7024 It depends on your desired work setting and the minimum requirements. Most colleges and high schools require a Master’s Degree in Counseling (through the School of Education). Make sure you take courses related to career assessments (personality, values and interests). If possible, do an internship in your desired work setting as part of your degree. It helps to build your network and professional competencies. Once you are employed, put a lot of work into your own professional development. Attend conferences and also learn about new assessments and best practices in Career Counseling. Good luck along your journey.
I already have a great career, but this is very very good content. Comes off as really trying to help people
Something I’m not seeing is that a lot of these jobs are very demanding, especially physically. Not all of them, but some really are.
which ones?
I’m a Respiratory Therapist. With COVID, there’s a shortage. Contract respiratory jobs are paying $100/hr to $180/hr. But overall, 30s/hr… which is not bad at all for a 2 year degree. I started out as a student Respiratory Therapist 13 years ago making $18.5/hr. Now, I’m currently studying Salesforce… trying to get a foot into the IT field.
Thanks for all you do.
Why are u changing your career now? Any reason?
@@danyelo9032 no more quality care .. it’s all about charting and charging .. real patient care is not there anymore to be honest .. and I hate to be part of it ..plus it’s a very risky job .. even if the patient can’t poop, it becomes a respiratory issue eventually.. to cut down cost, a lot of places get rid of Respiratory Director or manager and then starts problems little by little .. putting a nursing charge for respiratory is very common but the thinking of each profession is completely different and therefore so many conflicts can occur
I’m in school for cardiovascular sonography about to be headed into clinicals soon. I’m also thinking about IT
@@courtneyn4157 nice .. good luck 👍 I’m doing my MBA now
I don't work in sonography or respiratory care, but he said "hospitals" and elderly facilities... If you're mentally strong, go ahead. Because, in a sonography program, they warn you about things like: you can't tell the patients if they have cancer, you can't tell them if their baby is dead, there might be occasions were you'll have to clean vomit, you'll probably have a night shift, etc (at least HACC does). With respiratory care, elderly facilities aren't the most positive places to be in. Patients in there are just waiting for their death and depending on the facility and staff, they're not that well taken care of or treated well (at least not how I would love someone to take care of me) (I was a contractor for a short time in a facility in Lancaster, PA, so I got to see the interior a bit). All of this was already happening prior to the pandemic too. I'm not sure that a hospital setting would be any better either.
Thanks for sharing br
Getting my associates but I have no idea what I wanna do work wise. Just dont wanna be in an office job or in school that long. Ughhhh. Cool video though and love the comment section!
This is how I feel
2 weeks ago online i seen Respiratory Therapist, Sonography, & Dental Hygienist as one of the highest paying Allied Health Careers as i'm a person pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Allied Health. But now i'm considering an AAS in Dental Hygiene or just buying a DH textbook along with an exam review to study for the license exam
Yes a future Dental hygienist watching here 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽, I knew DH will be on this list ..
I don’t know why he made this video because most of these majors you have to go back to school to become certified/register. You have to go to a higher level school to get the knowledge for the certification test.
What are the prerequisites
Im taking the prereq for Dental hygiene right now, usually it’s the basic science (like chem, Bio, and anatomy and physiology) psychology, math (I took stat), communication and some other thing that I forgot
@@terriaa1 wrong not if you do your research.
What school do u go for dental hygiene?
You can make 200k as a registered nurse with an associates degree. To do this you would first get your degree, get some experience in the hospital setting (>1yr) then a;ply to a travel rn position. This position entails moving to different states about every 3 months (or less if you want) and working for different hospitals. Hospitals pay a lot more for these nurses because they are required to travel and have enough experience to not be trained. I’m making 4K a week doing this only working 36 hours a week.
Thats awesome. Sound like a good job while your still single or have no children.
Most places these days do require a BS.N to become a nurse, but yeah in a few places you can pull it off with a associates
@@asharbuckle5576 thats ridiculous, nurses rightnow are like one of the respected people in the healthcare, i wish technicians get as much respect as nurses though.
Please what university is it
Another great Associates Degree career, Certified Surgical Technologist (CST)! I've been in the field for 9 years and I love it! Make sure your school is CAAHEP so you can be certified by the NBSTSA (NATIONAL BOARD OF SURGICAL TECHNOLOGY AND SURGICAL ASSISTING). After a few years of experience, most hospitals will assist with tuition to get your CSFA (Certified Surgical First Assistant) credential. It's only an extra year of school online and you're making 6 figures at that point. This is a second career for me, I was a cosmetologist for 20 years straight out of high school. But the crash of 2008 landed me back in school. Best decision I ever made! Good luck out there! 🥰
What do you do there ? Cause I was thinking bout it
How many’s years of school
Great video! I would add nursing in there as well! With Covid, nurses are pulling in almost a 100k a year and it’s a two-year program!
I'm in the position to make a career change and you have helped me so much. Thankyou. I was afraid at first but this gives me hope. Keep up the great work you're doing. People of all ages need this kind of help and support.
Wow I wish this video had been around when I had started my degree.
SAME
Wish I would’ve seen this when I was graduating high school. I don’t regret how I got to where I am but definitely sharing this with my siblings 😀
Good list. Nursing isnt on the list but I would say ADN RN should. I started out around $47k/year as a new grad RN with little loan from the community college. Then proceeded to obtain my BSN now making over $100k/year. Nursing is a great career if you have the compassion to help others. Otherwise for the hard work we do no amount of money would be enough.
ADN needs to be on this list, I'm shocked it wasn't. Hahahaha best career option
ADN programs have a long wait time in a lot of areas.
May you all be prosperous & fulfilled in your future endeavors ❤

My husband is an aviation technician. There are always jobs, although you may have to move. Tons of overtime available. My husband hit six figures last year. Top out pay without overtime is over 50$ an hour.
Oh wow! My husband has been looking into becoming a certified aviation mechanic, but when he looked at the pay (in Cali) it didn’t seem that high...
I agree! My husband is too! He now works at SpaceX, his dream job!
@@shorty8270 My husband actually started with a small company in Louisiana to get experience. He was only making $17 in the beginning. Then he joined United Airlines in San Francisco starting around $30 an hour. He moved to FL to a different large name company at the same pay. After one year, they bumped his pay by $5. After 5-8 years he should be making $50 an hour. We fly for free and have great health benefits. The schooling only took him 14 months.
@@FeliciaBerryVlogs miss please let me know if you can, may you ask your husband if the program was hard? Thank you.
@@FeliciaBerryVlogs what school did it go to ?
YES!!! I knew Web Development would be on the list 🙌🏾 I can’t wait to become a web developer. Also thanks for the extra info
Do web development then transition into full stack you learn so much more in the software engineering realm
I am a school counselor and this information is gold! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome information and video, thank you!
Paralegal certificates and Notary licenses. The trades and Certificates are under the associates degree major.
I used to be a radiology technician (x-ray tech) and quite a few people who are x-techs get on the job training and later get their license to do MRI of sonography. I personally did mammography for a bit.
How's the pay? You know some people hype stuff up.
@@danielminta4567 there is a large range in how you are paid. If you are working in a private doctor's office they may pay more more less than a hospital will. I was working making $22 a hour entry as a mamo tech. That was low but it was entry level.
I know of some people who only made $15 a hour entry at a VA hospital as a x-ray tech.
Also another large factor is actually finding a job. Some areas there are lots of jobs available because there isn't a community college near by graduating a bunch of students every year.
If you are willing to move to area where there are jobs (if there isn't any where you are) then it might be worth it.
It takes a bit to get paid the higher wages.
I was offered to get paid $30 a hour before I left my last job to be with my kids.
I'm an xray tech right now and make 30 an hour but I want out. I've been doing this for 8 years now but I want to go into IT. Xray is all about location.
@@josuecastillo8111 wow that’s a lot ! Are you getting burnt out
I'm going to be going to school for echocardiogram Sonography and I'm so excited! And becoming a Traveling Sonographer makes really good money!
Thank you so much for making this video, I am actually doing my Prerequisites towards Dental Hygiene, Now this lets me know I made the right decision on my career path. Can’t wait to see future videos. :)
This is such an excellent video
Thank you!
thank you for the video :) dental hygiene however is 4 years, 2 of prerequisites and 2 of course
I am pre-dental hygiene and already been two years of prerequisite lol I don't know why they call it 2 year degree
@@ruftayifter685 you can test out of your classes so you can graduate faster
It’s a two year degree bc prereq course are not a part of the dental hygiene courses. When you are doing prereqs you are not in any program and can use them for most any program
@@ruftayifter685 why does it take so long to complete prerequisites???
@@sofiag4377 I mean I wouldn't say it's so long you have to take GE classes to transfer pulse the dental hygiene science prereq classes so most people finish it 2 - years then you go to dental hygiene program which is 2 more years.
Great video! I will show this to my future kids!
Excellent information for young people to consider.
Computer Support Specialist is my vote for over 100k or something in the computer science field.
Hopefully, the Human Infrastructure reconciliation bill will pass through congress- among many other benefits, it includes a provision for free 2 yr community college & trade school tuition
Just another push for me to stick with school so I can get my vascular ultrasound certification. I know I can double my current salary when I finally get a job in the field.
I got an associate's in electronic tech back in 1971. I became an automation tech and got paid a few years at 6 figure salaries. Now retired, and getting the max Social Security payout plus a 250,000 dollar IRA.
Keep in mind that these fields are competitive af and you may need to keep up a good GPA to get into these programs
There are community colleges with certified programs though
@@giftapfel some community Colleges will have a limit on how many students can get into the program, for example ( radiology technician) is a popular program here at my county so there's a limit how many people can join and so they choose random names so this means it's not sure if u will be chosen or not
@@giftapfel community college are much more competitive than universities because of its cheap tuition cost sometimes fafsa would even cover the whole cost! Trying to apply for sono rightnow and its nearly impossible unless you have perfect A as pre req because they score base on your letter grade aswell as the hesi exam or other test.
@@apdroidgeek1737 sucks for me they randomly choose ur name
No shit captain obvious
Having a high salary may sound great but learning to make money on your own is better. There are only so many hours you can trade for dollars and you will always be reliant on an employer. Learn to be industrious and make money for yourself and you will earn what you are worth to the end user. Learn to make money that requires little or no action from you and enjoy steady passive income day, night, rain or shine.
I wanna do this but I don't know where to start
@@dinawarsame8120 do you live in the United States?
@@Scott-by9ks Yeah I do
So happy I came across this video! Wow! Thank you so much for the content. 🙏🏼😇
I have my bachelors but still go to community college. Just because I love learning and associate degrees and certificates are quick to earn.
I work in IT with a bachelors. It’s was not worth it. I learned more on the job than in college.
So what do U suggest?
@@assassin7250 get IT certs
How much do you make ??
@@ktg5713 Where do you get IT certs? Who is reputable?
@@ktg5713 What the IT certifications name?
I was a music major for 2 years, but I swapped to a technical school when Covid hit to pursue an Associate degree in Web Development. I hope to get a decent job with this so I can eventually finish my music degree later.
I’m thinking of switching to web development, how’s it going?
@@Monksees so far I really enjoy it! Definitely a lot to learn but it’s a valuable skill set to have. If you’re interested in it, check out UA-cam videos and articles on what that kind of career entails to see if you’d be interested!
There are programs here in America that can help you get into web development in 2-3 months. Look into perscholas for example.
The good part is you can work remotely.
@@missdesireindependance5194 that’s the biggest plus to me. I want to be able to travel while I work.
I like this video! It was made to give general ideas
Very interesting video. I expected paralegals to be on here. Highly surprised

I'm convinced that the big investors and analysts are trying to scare us to keep us poor and ignorant to the market.. because its steady doing good after all the jobless and market crash talks
Congrats and wishing you the best .
@kim sun When I was 20 ,but you need a finance Pro if you don’t want to loose and if you want to be more successful.

It's awesome to see Radiation Therapy on here! I am currently almost finished with my schooling for that career🥰 I love that there is no night shifts and that you can build a bigger bond with your patient! It's rewarding not only with getting to know your patients very well, but it is also rewarding financially. I cannot be more excited for my future and proud of what I do.💕
R u worried about your patients passing away. I dont think I could handle that
I thought you needed a BS for that.
How long have you been in school?
@@ruthandflowers i’m starting a radiation therapy school in August and here in Vegas it only takes 5 semesters to finish. It usually takes two years of schooling. Hope this helps. :)
@@st5587 Where in Vegas and what school? I'm Planning to move there also to study medicine and Radiologic Technology Hope you answer this reply thanksss
Thanks for the very helpful video. One small clarification is that Nuclear Technologists focus on PET and SPECT imaging and not other modalities
Thanks for the detail!

Can you tell me more about being a cardio tech please? Im a senior in high school and want to become one. I would like to know how to become one, thank you
This is great! Subscribed!
Thank you!
Thanks so much very helpful! :D
The medical programs may take more 2 years to complete due to limited acceptance of students yearly
I completed all courses & volunteer hours for Physical Therapy Assisted program. But I was not accepted into the program which can be discouraging.
So you have to wait a year to reapply at the community college.
Another good one is HVAC/R. It’s a physically demanding trade but very rewarding. Can make up to 150k salary. You don’t even need an associates degree but it’s worth getting if you want more knowledge about the field and more opportunity. I’m glad I choose this career to pursue.
Won’t be able to feel yo back at 50
Also plumber, and electrician

Could you make a video explaining your steps to get to this? That would be super interesting

Same here!
How do you like it?
@@acp__ I absolutely love it!
And the avionics maintenance technology will grow a lot in the next 20 years with a lot of people retiring and not many people going into the industry
Useful information 🙏
Great video! What do you think about Speech Language Pathologist?
Don’t you need a masters degree?
@@Chula92 you do
Some truck drivers make 100k+. My CDL cost about $1,500. I was learning to code but needed money so I got a job, became a truck driver, and found a passion for driving.
What job is this
I can tell you as a manager of a fleet of truck drivers, they make very good money. All work based compensation, cent per mile etc. Avg pay is about 75k in PA. There is a massive shortage of cdl holders - I know because I hire drivers - and your ability to gain employment is as short as calling a recruiter.
@@jeffodom8611 Jeff, I'm in PA interested in getting CDL ,are there any places that will hire and pay for your cdl or CDL schools your familiar with somewhere near stroudsburg ,pa, area? Thanks
Retired as a controller Loved the job . Pay was awesome would do it again if I had a chance I did not go to CTI School . Learned it from the USAF
