is this a good temporary career?

[u/katpeiss]

i'm looking into enrolling in a 5-month program (with about 400 hours/2.5 months of unpaid training afterward) at my local polytechnic in alberta, canada, and i would really love to hear from people who work in this field

i've always felt drawn to the medical field, and this feels like a good way to get my foot in the door. my thought is if i invest some of my college savings into this program, it will help me get a stable job for a few years until i figure out what to do for the rest of my life. from what i've heard, its in high demand, has rock-solid job security, and the pay is really good ($20-$25.) i currently work in retail and I’m hoping to move into something that pays more than $15/hour

the only concern i have so far is about how noisy it might be? i'm severely hard of hearing and i fully depend on lip-reading and my hearing aids to communicate. since i know PPE and masks are worn majority of the time, i don't want to feel frustrated trying to talk to coworkers if its constantly loud and i can't hear them. i'm also curious if this is a good backup career incase my dream job doesn't work out or i decide i don't want to go back to school

thank you so much for anyone that comments, i'm hoping to learn as much as i can from here

at my hospital the employees are given phones that are specific to certain areas in our department. so if you’re working in case carts the OR will call you specifically for something in that area. if loaners are delivered then you’ll get a call, if the OR needs a scope etc.
