I know a girl getting her Pharmacy degree and it's 6years in Georgia. PA (Physicians Assistant?) is a 4year degree and they make crazy money. My buddy's wife is a Medical Assistant (or something like that) and her doctor has a 22year old girl working there who makes $150k a year as a Physicians Assistant.
My buddy's gf is getting her masters I think for Occupational Therapist. When my buddy got into a car wreck he had one come in and she just made him walk his fingers up the wall for his shoulder and then saw on his bill he was charged out the ass for it. It pissed him off but made him happy at the same time.
My buddy's GF is also friends of a bunch of pharmacy students since she goes to the Medical College of Georgia and he got to hang out with a bunch of pharmacy graduates. He said they were all as dumb as bricks, hot, and making $100k+ at low-mid 20s years of age and they confessed that the Pharmacy Techs do all of the real work.
Her brother is fixing to start residency/internship and qualified to become a resident in any field he wants to do. He's shooting for Neuroscience but is scared about government healthcare and might become a plastic surgeon.
My friend is a Mechanical Engineer and started at 55k and is now making around 60k before taxes.
