I've considered RN, but I don't think it's something I wanna try right now, maybe it's something I'll look into a little down the line. I am getting my degree in Political Science as planned, having a degree puts me a little up on the pay scale and it'll give me something to fall back on if I do this and want a career change later. Not to mention I could make enough money in that field to put myself through the EMS program, which'll be about $8,500.
I've also got my scuba instructor thing I could do to make money on the side as a part-time job. Paramedic pay + scuba lessons would make for a decent living.

That sounds like a great plan, Lissa. Just be sure that you can handle the emotional and psychological challenges of a job like that. The medical field could definitely be a very rewarding job. I think I will end up being a medical social worker some day...that is my long term goal anyway. Good luck!

I think most young people see all the possibilities and there are just so many to choose from. Find your passion....and it won't be a job.
