Anyone ever considered switching over to a career in healthcare management or nursing? Work in healthcare advertising now and have come to love the healthcare aspect, but am getting more and more disinterested in advertising as a career when I know I could have a greater impact

Think about this weekly! But feel like I focused too much on my skill set to be worth the pivot, for me personally.

BUT have a ton of friends who went into nursing/MD after doing pursuing an unrelated career. All of them say the time spent getting there is worth it, even later on. It’a no doubt a great career path for those who have the interest in it.

That’s so great to hear! I graduated in May 2020 with my bachelors. I feel guilty wanting to change careers after spending 4 years studying advertising, but I had no idea working within the healthcare space would have such an impact on me.

I would talk to nurses and get a better sense of what that industry is like before going back to school for nursing.

No I can’t go back to school for another million years

I know someone who was in an account role for several years but switched to nursing and has loved it, plus later in life if she wants to return to advertising she will have hands-on experience to leverage for a good position.

It’s easier to make the switch now, vs spending 4 years in advertising/marketing, if you really want it. Agree with SPM1, there might be a way to shadow someone for a day to see if the day to day matches what your vision for a career in health is. Good luck!

I heard Physicians Assistant is a cool career. Way less schooling, no MCAT, like being a doc without all the headaches and liabilities… etc etc.

Pre-med dropout here 🙋🏼‍♀️ And still think about it weekly, 8 years out. I have always LOVED school (I know) and would honestly jump back in in a second. It’s the financial aspect after working so hard on my undergrad loans and finally coming up for breath that really scares me.

Worried about my dad. He spends hours every day watching/reading news, but only sites that support his point of view. When he’s not consuming news, he’s railing loudly against politicians he doesn’t like or people who are on “the other side”, completely distorting basic facts. It almost seems like he’s slowly losing his grip of reality. This is all he does in his free time, he has no interest or motivation to pursue any hobbies or other activities.
