Healthcare is a good field to go into, and there's lots of work in rural areas
I should add that there are programs to forgive student debt for rural doctors, nurses, and lawyers.
That's true that healthcare jobs are plentiful out in rural areas. I never thought of that. I'm not too sure how I would feel about having to go back to school, but it's a good option to consider.
I have a two year Associate Degree with a full Registered Nurse license because the Associate Degree contains all the same clinical hours as the Bachelor's, just fewer leadership and development, research, and "nursing theory" classes.
I'm biased, I love being a nurse even as stressful as it often is. I'm happy to answer questions, if you're interested.
Respiratory Therapy looks like another good healthcare career with reasonable training requirements.
Thanks for the info. Yeah, two year Associate Degree might not be too bad, if I really wanted to make the transition.
