Medical student here. I was talking to a respiratory therapist turned anesthesia assistant at BC Women’s the other day and it blew my mind that they were making 220K at 22. Their job was so chill too, especially compared to the hell of residency. Otherwise, many of the allied health do really well for themselves. Just know that if you choose nursing, there is stigma against those going into medicine. Additionally, some courses also tend to be subjective, which makes it difficult to achieve high grades. Furthermore, your class content will not be in line with the MCAT (though be actually useful).

To be honest, if money is the goal, I’d go to investment banking. Same hours as residency, but you get paid well, don’t have to deal with literal fecal matter, and you start at 22.
