Nursing. 100K is pretty easy to make with experience, but you won't make that fresh out of school. Probably 60K, but it goes up. My wife isn't a nurse

I'm an asshole that fabricates stuff and fixes most of the other employees stuff.
So I have the right to be the shop asshole!! Pay is 70% of what I'm worth.

Former management consultant, now in IT. Traded one job where I traveled a lot, worked long hours and got paid a lot for a job where I travel a lot, work long hours and don't make nearly as much. I would not recommend it.
My advice is do something that makes you happy because more money won't make you happy if your job sucks. |

Over 21 years in Law Enforcement, with less than 4 years until retirement. I'm a Detective in our Fraud/Financial Crimes Bureau. The area banks scoop up the guys from this Bureau as soon as they retire to work in their Fraud divisions for a starting salary higher than what we are making at the end of our LE careers. I'm leaning on following that route when I retire also, but I might be burned out of Fraud investigations by then. Hey, thats not a bad idea. |

I graduated with a degree in Mining Engineering last May. Haven't been able to get a job in the industry. There were hardly any junior mining engineering positions that opened up last year. Of the 15 people or so who graduated from my class, I've only been able to find two who are working in mining right now. I had a temp job doing office work for an exploration geology company, but that ended last month and they haven't gotten any more contracts and can't hire anyone else full time. I've even put in applications for truck driving and labor at the mines, but haven't even heard back.
I have a good connection through someone with a gas company in southern NV, so hopefully that works out. I also put in a rated application for Air Force OTS. I took the TBAS and AFOQT and went through MEPS. I'll find out in a month if I get selected. After that is another physical, then it will be probably close to a year until I actually get to go to training. Hey, if anyone in Nevada needs someone with an engineering degree, I'm open for about a year I have my EI certification

I work for a diesel manufacture testing the prototype engine and driving trucks and wrenching on them when the need arises. Been doing that for 10 years now. Great gig once I start to think about all of the places that they have sent me. Been all over the US except for the far corners of the North East.

currently a gs6 0186 social services assistant at the VA, concurrently a full time BSN student at OHSU's school of nursing. Going to leave the va when I graduate, they start RNs really low for the area (something like $27/HR vs $40/HR I could get working for a hospital).

I manage a team of 10 clinical analysts who support the hospital's clinical applications and electronic medical record. I am an RN but also have a BS in IT. Myself and my team are Epic certified so the pay is pretty good. I make $110k a year. Analysts in this line of work make $70- $90k. Most of my team are either nurses or pharmacists.
I had 6 years IT experience prior to becoming a nurse. I was only an RN on the floor for 2 years, an analyst for 4 years, and a manager for 2 years. I am at the mid-range for my pay scale. |
