Hi nurses, Just wondering what you all think about what the best allied health job is? Looking for advice on what path is best for me...obviously I know it depends on the person but I'm looking for a general idea about what you folks think. Thanks!

Speech Language Pathologist?

Audiologist?

Physio?

OT?

Social Work?

Ultrasound?

etc...

Gosh "best" is too subjective because we all have different criteria by which to make this judgement. If you could provide more information about the criteria that are important to you, it would generate more meaningful responses. What is most important? Length of educational program? Availability of jobs? Work settings? Salary? Work schedule?

I guess I was looking for subjective opinions...but basically I'm in a social work/admin type role now which is well paid and flexible. But long story I hate it and need to figure something else out. I've worked in health for so long in an indirect capacity I feel it would be best to stay in this area. Things I'm looking for...I prefer working days, have holidays off...hense why I'm attracted to allied health. I think many of the allied health jobs have similar salary, work schedule, etc...I appreciate direct social interaction but also don't mind admin stuff, I don't want to go back to school forever but I'm willing, I feed off excitement...but I think all off these jobs would be considered busy...

Thoughts?
