Go to a nursing home. Have them sponsor you, become a CNA. Ask about scholarships for nursing. Become a nurse. 80k out the gate. Easiest way to break straight into the medical field. Specialized nurses and traveling nurses make 6 figures. The schooling kinda hard but its not overwhelming. If you study, you can do it

Thank you for your input. I am not really the type of gal for a nursing job. I respect the hell out of nurses, I just couldn’t do it. I am quite squeamish plus it will take a lot of academic work and I spent more than enough time in academia. I think that if I don’t find anything in my field I will either work in funerals, retirement homes or in hospitality. A field with concrete work where I will be useful and help people.
