Hey everyone, I'm sure this has been covered, but would just like some input. So I am college student using Voc Rehab to go to school as I am a combat veteran. Right now I am on the nursing track as my goal is to become a CRNA. I live in Florida. I keep hearing about how over saturated the market is for CRNA's, jobs are tough, and many people are having to move to the boonies to find a job. Right now I have the grades and will continue to do my best to take any avenue, including med school. At this point in time is it smarter to become a CRNA or an anesthesiologist? Can Crna's have a great family life and not live to work? Will it be hard in the future to find jobs that pay 150k plus a year? Sadly, I don't have time to consider as much as i'd like to as the VA is paying for my schooling and need to have a particular career track for the classes im taking. Keep in mind they only paying for a bachelors so it's not like they'd pay for CRNA or med school. Would just love some input from a current CRNA and/or Anesthesiologist. Thank you in advance
