WOW asked:
I have a heart for helping people but currently have a job in retail management. will that be an easy transition? I have a BA in finance, will I have to go back to school to go into something for something like and also do you guys have any suggestions? Pay matters a little so I don’t want to do anything that max out at 40k.

I suppose I can suggest what NOT to do.
1) Records. To be a manager in records, you max out at about $45K, depending on where you live.
2) Social work doesn’t pay squat and takes a masters degree in order to be considered billable by Medicare requirements.
3) Most other therapies, ie: art therapy, expressive therapy, occupational therapy…. require a lot of schooling and don’t pay much, either.
Your best bet, for the most money and least amount of schooling, will be to go into nursing, or so I think. The pay doesn’t really ‘max out’ and it’s flexible on many levels. You can do many different occupations, even nurse administration, and the pay is pretty decent.
