I owe 32,000 from my ba and 9500 more if I sign up for a medical assistant program.I wanted to pursue nursing and make twice as much
But I owe enough don't you think?
1)Does anyone think, after I get a ma position in a hospital that pays tuition, that I should pursue nursing?
2 ) should I just stick with ma forever?
I'm looking for a way to be able to support myself and it's hard in the 5 boroughs. I'm living from pay check to pay check and I hate my current job ( preschhool )
Medical assistants are not typically hired to work in hospitals.
Definitely skip MA program. Depending where you are and which jobs you apply to, you can land a MA position and start paying down your undergrad debt.
If you truly want to be a nurse (LPN, RN, APRN-and it's many designations) cough it up and tack on more debt and become one. Then pay down your loans aggressively.
I was a MA and I was content but then realized after a year I wanted a larger scope and more responsibilities so tacking on more debt wasn't of importance.
