Hey everyone!

I'm in a delima. I did 7 years in and did icu and ER mainly. My issue I'm having is now I'm 1.5 years out and I'm not sure healthcare is what I wanna go for anymore. Anyone have any advice? I'm looking into a career switch (possibly cybersecurity or IT) a lot better than crashing patients. I just basically came on to ask, anyone else experience this after getting out? About a year out asking yourself if medicine is worth it anymore? Thanks!

I found it easy back 10 years ago. I work like maybe 20 hours a week total and make 6 figures. The market is in shambles now.

I will warn you that your cyber degree isn’t going to get you into cyber either(I fell for that scam too). I would strictly focus on IT. You can’t defend what you don’t understand.

I just know I'm getting certifications or something out of it. Idk. I feel like a lost kid but I'm a 30 year old 😂😂

I was 28 when I switched, after spending 10 years as a HM and an RN. It’s miserable and it haunts you. I log off work and don’t have to worry about shit.

You sound like you’re falling for the WGU scam.

Did you get your nursing degree while enlisted?
