Insurance pays? How long were you in college for? Making me rethink my career plans…

I have a master’s degree and many years of experience. Degree with BA and MS took 4-5 years.

Medical Biller 75k 28 hours per week

That’s a nice amount for a career that doesn’t require student loans. How much experience do you have?

Pharmacists make peanuts compared to other users here. You study for a long time, take out tons of loans and make half of what others here make. Stay far away from pharmacy.

You still doesn't answer which users said to stay away.
I haven't seen one post saying that.

Pharmacists make a respectable predictable - what makes you think otherwise?

Don’t feel bad about your salary, if you factor in your hours (working about 3.5 hours per day), and all the time off , about 15 weeks per year, you’re coming out ahead of those working full time all year making 80k.

Yeah, I don't get it. Are you saying that at that rate, I'd be making 80k, I f I worked full day and didn't have summer and YT off?
But the bottom line is I do, and therefore I only get paid less than 30k...

Around 55k annual + 15k childcare, but I only work 22 hours a week. I have a high level position at an e-commerce business, doing all sorts of stuff.

I also earned around 10k this year from various side hustles like writing for magazines.

I’m an SLP in private practice. See clients 16 hrs a week. But end up with more unpaid work. About 125-130k. However, I also run a business and make about $200k with that.

Also a SLP. What do you specialize in that you're making that? Whats your other business that youre making an additional 200k? How many years out of your CFY are you making that? Hate this field and this job. Makes pennies and my student loans are crazy. Havent had luck getting into DOE. Got my cs last year....
