It really doesn't matter what career path you choose, because you will always have to answer to someone. Whether it is your immediate Supervisor, the Board of Directors, the stockholders, or Uncle Sam.

You need to do what you enjoy!

Shoot...How many jobs are out there where u graduate with a BS or AS and start making 50k. My fiance has this nice BA degree and still works at a department store..If you want autonomy, start a business, IF YOU WANT A CAREER become a RN. With that title comes respect!:)

[mother/babyRN, RN]

You have all the autonomy in the world if you know your stuff..If a doc tells me to do something that I either disagree with or know is not supposed to be, I have no problem communicating that I either will not do it, or have them do it themselves or delegate otherwise...That comes with time and isn't always necessary....
