> yeah, the thought of making my hobby my career and then getting sick of it crossed my mind. I was also, looking into doing something medical like x ray tech or nursing since those are high demand and high pay and 2 year schooling. since i work in the pharmacy field now it wouldnt be hard to cross over into a higher paying medical field. I love cars but I’m thinking its not a big enough thing in PA for it to make me alot of money for my family. if i lived down south it might be more of an option i guess.

I’m a patient care technician (basically a glorified nursing assistant :kekegay: ) for UPMC. I’m also working toward a degree in nursing. You can always find a job in healthcare, but it’s hard work. Mentally and physically. I think people don’t realize this. Pharm and nursing; though both are health care, are much different.  
The money is decent and there is always opportunity for advancement but it’s not quite the pretty picture people like to paint. I’m getting off the soapbox now. If you have questions about nursing, feel free to pm me.
