pharm tech, if you need a better than min wage job, and doesnt require any schooling you can study on your own and take the test before the national test. not reccommend you spend time and money for a CC school or a state university(at our state they have 2-3month program accelerated but quite pricey at 1500$) the CC is much longer, 9months(cheaper but its praticallya year). you can do it cheaper (you just need to do all the legwork yourself, search on the subs they have the best info for this.

another is rad technologist, 2 years of schooling but you need to have prereqs(which can be done within 1 year). 2 paths: CC which has pretty horrible wait list times, not reccommended unless you planning to wait years. other is paying a university program upfront (expensive but not as expensive as a degree) and i heard people make back all the money back once they get the job after 2 year program(estimated cost for private uni program 30-60k for the whole thing), but the salary is quite high for not requiring a full degree. only stipulation is you would be studying for 2 years and might not be feasible if you work full time.

yea Full nurses can make 70-144+/hr as travelling nurses(depends on where you are) a coworker told me her cousins are nurses. it requires alot of schooling though.
