If u already a CNA u have an upper hand.

Apply to ADN schools, you'll be done in 4 semesters and it's really cheap.

After that get ur BSN online. Work in some easy field of nursing, you'll make decent money. But with COVID-19 running around I know a lot of places cut hours for some workers so idk how easy it will be for a job.

It's so hard to get a job in that field tho 😪

I know a guy in that field that said it took moving to 3 different states over 2 years to finally get lucky enough to get a job

I'm in Big 4 accounting, I finished state school with 40k in loans for 5 years (including my needed masters)

These salary figures below are accurate and reflected a mid - cost of living area (High COL areas starting salaries would begin at 62k-65k and grow at the same rate seen below here)

So if you're in NYC/LA/Bay or whatever, expect 75-78k by senior and 100k-120k by manager.

At Senior level it's common to maneuver out of your 75k salary into 100k-115k postions (~20%ish bump). Average age at this point would be 26 and your exit opportunities would be corporate finance/managerial accounting jobs with 40 hour work weeks. There are people that move onto very different paths and get creative/richer but this is whats common.

I'm a human calculator. Even at a young age teachers would be blown away because I would do complex algebra problems in my head. They used to accuse me of cheating.

Never learned calculus or trig though
