I would say the MRI field (which is an offshoot of X-Ray) is one of the more chill healthcare jobs. I shadowed both X-Ray techs and MRI techs prior to enrolling in MRI school. Both groups told me to go straight to MRI. Pays better, is less hard on the body (perfect ratio of sitting and standing), and is just less stressful in general. <cite>ZannoL posted [p:976510342] in $59.69 - $...

archizzy 10/06/23 12:49:38 PM #11:	This is entirely geographically dependent. I live in a small town in the Midwest where cost of living is CHEAP. Honestly where I live you can literally live ok on minimum wage. I know families with kids living well on 45K a year. Anything above 50K is considered good. Houses that would be a million plus in many other places are like 300K here. I make about 75K a year and I have zero debt, completely paid off my mortgage and own my house, completely paid off any vehicles I have, no debt. I save the majority of my check and just stockpile money and will retire early and live comfortably. My dad makes about 110K a year here and has no debt and tons of extra stuff. He has a second home (cabin on the river for fishing trips) boat, motorcycles, ATV, Jet ski, snowmobiles, multiple vehicles, all kinds of stuff. Dude is swimming in money and has more than he knows what to do with. A good friend of mine from high school was making 140K a year in Bakersfield California and practically was in poverty. She was struggling to put food on the table. She moved back here for a 35K job and is thriving. I cant speak specifically for Sacramento. I only know 1 person who lives there and we dont really discuss money. But my point stands about geography. A salary in NYC is not going to be comparable to someplace in the South or Midwest. --- PSN ID: sled_dogs76 60" Pioneer Kuro Elite PRO151FD, Yamaha RX-V3900 A/V Receiver, Oppo DV983-H player.

She lived in Bakersfield because the housing was more affordable because she felt like she couldnt afford to live where she wanted. My main point is Geography matters.
