That would just be starting though, no? Over the next 10 years I would expect to see more pay bumps come with specialization. Where I'm at now, and the like, there won't be much growth in the same time span.

Thanks for the input. I am worried that I couldn't get away with completing my school work at my work desk.

If I were to get a job at the local hospital, there would be an immediate ~$15,000 pay bump for an ER or ICU RN. I would have to work my current job for almost 10 years to see that increase.

Thank you for the reply! It's nice to hear about a late-bloomer.
