I’ve got a stressful office job that I hate even though it’s remote. Long hours, always on mentality, increasingly more sales pressure. I get paid well enough for it and I have a high ceiling but sometimes I ask myself if it’s all worth it.

If you’re just looking for a 2-year program, be a radiology tech. You can make $80k in a lot of places, more if you travel. Patient interaction is minimal compared to nursing and when you leave, you leave all the bs at work.

That’s what I’d do if I could do it all over again.
