00:00it's that time of year again everybody
00:01loves these videos we are gonna be going
00:04over the top 10 health degrees now last
00:07year i got a lot of really good feedback
00:09on the video but people in the comments
00:11section did say that i missed out on
00:13some of the health degrees and health
00:15careers that they were interested in and
00:16so i tried to include as many as
00:19possible in this year's list and so yes
00:21there will be quite a few new ones on
00:23this year's list that i didn't include
00:25last year and of course if you are
00:26interested in a healthcare degree or a
00:28healthcare career this should be a
00:30fantastic video for you to watch to have
00:32reference to a bunch of different
00:34careers that you might be interested in
00:35but with that being said gently tap the
00:37like button hit that subscribe button
00:39and ring the notification bell and let's
00:40get right into it number 10 on the list
00:43is going to be podiatrists so this is
00:46basically one that i did not go over
00:48last year but podiatrists make about 134
00:52000 a year however they're growing at
00:55about 2 which is slower than average and
00:57that's according to bls the bureau of
00:59labor statistics uh but according to
01:01glassdoor.com they make about 117 000 a
01:04year now this is a pretty good one but
01:07the reason it wasn't higher on the list
01:08is because you have to do four years of
01:11undergrad four years of grad school and
01:13then a three year residency so that is a
01:16very very long time that's about 11
01:17years of your life and a podiatrist is
01:19basically somebody who is an expert on
01:21everything related to the foot ankle and
01:24lower leg so if that's something you're
01:25interested in you should definitely give
01:26this one a look number nine on the list
01:29is going to be a doctor of nursing
01:31practice so this is basically one where
01:33you would get your doctorate in order to
01:35become a nurse practitioner now
01:37according to bls nurse practitioners
01:39make about a hundred and seventeen
01:41thousand dollars a year and they're
01:42growing at an absolutely ridiculous
01:44forty five percent to put that in
01:46perspective four to five percent is
01:47average so it's basically ten times
01:49faster than average according to
01:51glassdoor they make about
01:53twenty 121 thousand dollars a year and
01:54this is a great career overall basically
01:56you can do almost all the things that a
01:58doctor can do you can prescribe diagnose
02:01treat but you don't have to go through
02:02as much schooling and residency as a
02:04medical doctor would so usually in order
02:07to become a nurse practitioner there's a
02:08lot of different programs and a lot of
02:10different time periods and some are
02:12accelerated and some aren't but
02:13basically you get your bsn which is
02:15about four years that's the you know
02:17bachelor of nursing basically the basic
02:19nursing degree and then on top of that
02:21you do about three to six years of
02:23schooling but to be honest with you
02:25there's a lot of accelerated programs
02:26out there you can get your bsn faster
02:28than four years so overall you should be
02:30able to get it done in around eight
02:33number eight on the list is going to be
02:35dentist and you would get either a dds
02:38or a dmd dds is doctor of dental surgery
02:41and dmd is doctor of dental medicine
02:44this is another one that takes about
02:45eight years or so but you make about 164
02:48000 a year which is great and it's
02:50growing at about eight percent according
02:52to glassdoor you make around the same
02:54166 000. so this is one where there's a
02:56ton of investment up front you're likely
02:58going to go deep into student loan debt
03:00and then on top of that if you want to
03:01start your own practice which many
03:03people do you're gonna have to take out
03:05a big loan for that so you might end up
03:07being a million dollars in debt but you
03:09should make enough money to be able to
03:11pay it off but me personally uh what i
03:13recommend for most people is i don't
03:15really prefer degrees like that just
03:16because you're putting off you know
03:19securing the bag for so long that
03:22sometimes it just doesn't work out
03:23there's a lot of other things that can
03:24happen and sometimes things don't go to
03:26plan number seven on the list is going
03:29to be optometrist and this is basically
03:31somebody who is an expert of many things
03:34that have to do with the eye but they
03:36specialize in basically helping people
03:38with their eyeglasses as well as
03:40contacts this is another one that takes
03:42about eight years or so and you can
03:44expect to make about a hundred and
03:45eighteen thousand dollars a year and
03:47it's growing at about nine percent over
03:49the next ten years glassdoor is pretty
03:51much in line with that they say you make
03:53about a hundred and twenty one thousand
03:55a year now this is one that i didn't
03:56rank as high last year but after some
03:58people left really insightful comments
04:00and i did some research on it i realized
04:02that i think bls is a little bit off on
04:04this one and it's actually a little bit
04:06better than what they're saying and the
04:08reason for that is because people's
04:09eyesight is rapidly deteriorating
04:12because we're spending like 11 hours a
04:14day looking at phones tv screens
04:16computer screens tablets etc and so more
04:19and more people are going to need
04:20contacts and glasses
04:22number six on the list is going to be
04:24radiation therapist and this is one
04:27that's great because it's not a doctoral
04:30degree this one you can get into in
04:32about two to three years and this is
04:34where you use radiation or x-ray
04:36generally to treat cancer so really
04:38tough job but if you look at the meaning
04:40score it's actually extremely high one
04:42of the highest meaning scores out there
04:44i believe it's in the high 80s so people
04:46do tend to find meaning in their job
04:48long term which tends to correlate with
04:51you being happy over the long run now
04:53you should expect to make around 86
04:55thousand dollars a year and it's growing
04:57at about nine percent 86 000 is
05:00absolutely ridiculous for an associate
05:02level degree and glassdoor says about
05:04the same a little bit less around 79 000
05:07per year next one on the list number
05:10five is going to be a doctor of
05:12osteopathic medicine now this is pretty
05:15interesting because a lot of people
05:16don't even know that this one exists so
05:18a doctor of osteopathic medicine and a
05:20medical doctor md they are technically a
05:23little bit different right now but
05:25they're merging them over the next five
05:27to ten years so there's basically going
05:28to be no difference whatsoever however
05:31realistically speaking right now it's
05:33easier to get into do school than it is
05:36to get into md school and on top of that
05:38if you look at different websites they
05:39generally make less money it's also a
05:42little bit harder to get placed into the
05:43residencies that you want to get into so
05:45there is pluses and minuses to either
05:47one but with that being said you can
05:49expect to make over two hundred and
05:50eight thousand 000 a year uh they make
05:53so much that the system that shows how
05:55much different professions make is kind
05:57of like broken on bls and so they don't
05:59say exactly how much it is they just say
06:01over two hundred and eight thousand i
06:02can tell you i've done extensive
06:04research on this it's probably going to
06:06be more in the 300 to 400 000 range and
06:09if you go into certain specialties you
06:11can make up to like 700 800 000 a year
06:13and it's growing at about three percent
06:15which is a little bit slower than
06:16average now number four on the list you
06:18know they're basically the same thing
06:20but this one's maybe slightly better is
06:22going to be medical doctor okay so for
06:24both md and do you're gonna do four
06:27years of undergraduate four years of
06:29grad school and then three to seven
06:31years of residency and then you might
06:32even do a fellowship after that
06:34depending on the specialty that you go
06:36into so depending on what you go into
06:38you could be spending 11 to 20 years in
06:41school as well as residency so you could
06:43actually spend more time doing schooling
06:45and residency than you did going to
06:48school when you were a kid
06:51number three on the list is going to be
06:53one that you can get into in a little
06:54bit less time and that is going to be
06:57nursing so in this particular case we
06:58are talking about a bsn or bachelor of
07:01science in nursing and you would get
07:03this in order to become a registered
07:05nurse now i think everybody knows what a
07:07nurse is i don't know if i need to
07:09explain that one but they make around
07:11seventy five thousand dollars a year and
07:13they're growing at nine percent which is
07:15as fast as average however there's three
07:18million jobs available so whenever you
07:20see a ridiculous amount of jobs
07:22available um you know the job outlook
07:25the nine percent is a lot more
07:26impressive just because of the fact that
07:28there's going to be a lot more
07:30opportunities for you there's a lot more
07:31different specialties and there's going
07:33to be a lot more turnover so yeah really
07:35fantastic degree really fantastic career
07:38i will say that nurses and i guess
07:40healthcare degrees and healthcare
07:42careers in general you are going to be
07:45you're almost always going to be
07:47understaffed overworked
07:49sometimes people don't appreciate you
07:51because they're having a really bad day
07:52maybe the worst day of their life so you
07:54do have to have thick skin there are
07:56some unique things about healthcare that
07:58are probably way different than any
08:00other type of career but with that being
08:02said nurse can be a fantastic one the
08:05next one is also a nursing degree and
08:07that is nurse practitioner at the
08:09master's level right so this is the most
08:11common type of nurse practitioner the
08:13dnp the one we talked about before is a
08:17but you still make really good money as
08:19a nurse practitioner with just a
08:21master's and you can do a lot of the
08:22same things that a dnp can do so
08:24according to bls the statistics are the
08:26same they just bunch them all together
08:28but of course dnp's would likely make
08:30more money but yeah 117 000 according to
08:33bls 45 growth and 121 000 according to
08:37glassdoor.com and the number one on the
08:40list after doing extensive research
08:42looking at so many different factors and
08:44there's just no way i could list all of
08:46them in this video is going to be
08:48physician associate and by the way this
08:51used to be known as physician assistant
08:53but they just recently changed it to
08:55physician associate bls still has it
08:57listed as physician assistant though and
08:58they make about a hundred and fifteen
09:00thousand dollars a year and it's growing
09:02at an absolutely ridiculous 31 percent
09:05now this is another one where you'll
09:06likely get your undergraduate degree get
09:09your bachelor's and then you'll take
09:10around two years or so to become a pa so
09:13overall it's going to be about six years
09:15to get this degree this is one where you
09:17can also prescribe and diagnose but you
09:19have to be under the supervision of a
09:21doctor the reason i rank this one just a
09:23little bit ahead of nurse practitioner
09:25and honestly it could go either way
09:27they're both fantastic is because of the
09:29fact that in my opinion it's a little
09:30bit more flexible i personally know
09:33people who have worked in two or three
09:35different specialties at once and if you
09:37compare this to medical doctor once you
09:39choose a residency in one specialty if
09:41you want to switch specialties you have
09:43to do another residency whereas with pa
09:45it's relatively easy to switch
09:47specialties and so this gives you an
09:49added level of flexibility that a lot of
09:51other medical related careers just don't
09:53have but yeah really good choice for the
09:55right person hope you enjoyed the video
