Hard time choosing a career in the medical field?
I know I don't want to do pharmacy or 7+ years of college. Any idea what career I should maybe consider?
I don't want to be an assistant or a nurse. Sorry I didn't mention that earlier.

Always a registered nurse or pharmacy technician but think about it if you put time into whatever you do it will pay off in the end.....

If you aim for nursing, you may never be unemployed for at least the next two decades.
