PTA’s make very good money, so I would definitely consider that. LPN, of course, are in high demand and make excellent money…but like the person above me said, the waiting list can be pretty long. Surgical techs also make good money because someone will always need surgery. I can’t say much for cota’s. OT’s can make very good money, but I would go with PTA. It’s only 2 years and there are sooooo many pta jobs out there.
Well anything involving surgery will always pay the most money and be the most difficult. Helping people with their physical therapy will probably be the most rewarding and grueling, and occupational therapy is a real mixed bag but at least it’s diverse. And as to being an lpn it’s becoming harder and harder to become one as by the time you’re off the wait list for a nursing program you quite possibly could have become something else.
