Have always struggled with thoughts of furthering my education for either; Recreation Therapist/Occupational Therapist or Nursing. This has pretty much been my whole career...Yes, I know not making a decision is a decision...Have worked in Healthcare for 26 plus years, as either a cna., Activity Assistant/Director, or Therapeutic Recreation Aide. Neither of those pay well. Economy is substantially getting worse, on the real.
School is expensive, even with Grants, Scholarships etc. X-ray Tech ??

X-RAY techs seem to be the way to go

Nursing and Respiratory Therapy

School is expensive but I have never regretted going back and getting more education. The way I see it is that I will probably still have student loans when I die so I might as well take out as many as I can LOL. Just kidding but I do think going back to school is a really great idea.

Thanks so much. You're absolutely right. Currently researching Grossmont Community College, for their Allied Health, and Nursing programs.

Within my first year of Consulting, really struggling with the hours amongst other things. Spoken to a couple of people internally and the advice is to get on to projects with bigger budgets and therefore bigger teams/more support. I want to wait until I hit the one year mark before making a decision on whether Consulting is for me or not. Curious to hear from other experienced hires..how is/was your first year?

Hi Everyone. I completed my 1 year in EY in October 2022. And in my profile, they have updated it to Senior Analyst now. But that was a progression that happens every year and I have not received the incremented salary.

Now that they are giving increments to everyone, will I receive both progression and increment or my progression will be counted as increment.

Highly confused.

Also, I can't go the route of doing FDD at a different big 4. Already got rejected by all of them cause I'm not in audit (but have CPA).
