I am personaly in psycology, but am going to go to med school once im done with my 4 yrs to be a psychiatrist. Most fields require med school, but things like physcial trainers, health consultants, etc. dont. I am pretty sure x-ray tech. requires some extra schooling.

Nursing.

The demand for nurses is very high and it will continue to remain high for some time. Nurses "can" easily make over 100k, but the hours can be pretty intense. Registered nurses are projected to create the second largest number of new jobs among all occupations between 2004 and 2014. Most nurses that I know have around 4 years of college education.

This is all very true but do not exspect to be making 100k..... I have 5 nurses in my family all over the country and the pay is about 60k for a national average (really depends on what kinda nurse but just a reg. staff RN is what im talking about). A nursePractitioner , however, makes close to 100k.

Cat/MRI/Imaging tech , the pay is friggen great , good hours (mostC scans and MRIs are scheduled during the day except on emergency basis) and hey (most) of the time no blood or gore ! :lol: but seriously look into it just make sure you get into a good (newer , for profit hospital ) they got the newer,better equip. the city or state run facilities blow chunks .
