[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d avoid teaching like the plague unless you focus on private tutoring. You will barely touch the 80k requirement and spend the first 5 years working constantly. Only do nursing if you can handle 12 hours on your feet, lots of paperwork, lots of bureaucracy. You might land a desk job but not until after you do your time with patients. The legal background could help you though in a large hospital setting so I wouldn’t rule it out. Therapist looks like the best option but beginning MSW is more likely to end you in public healthcare at 40k. If you can get a PhD or PsyD you would be fine financially and with job security but that will take several years and a lot of time. If you have a law background you could move into IEP law or IEP advocacy or a combo deal (better from a pay aspect). Pay is great but hours are inconsistent, most IEPs are held during the day but you might have evening meetings with families but likely not every day. Have you considered dental assistant? [/quote]

Dental assistants don’t make his pay requirement unless they go to school and get a hygienist degree.[/quote]
