PTA Making 62K - Desperate for 80K Career Switch! 😰

Hey everyone, I'm really struggling here and could use some honest advice. I'm a 26-year-old Physical Therapy Assistant who's been grinding in this field for about two years now, pulling in just over 62K annually. 💔 Don't get me wrong, I love helping patients, but I'm watching my friends in other careers pull ahead financially while I'm barely keeping up with rising costs. It's honestly keeping me up at night thinking about my future. 😟 I'm seriously considering a career change and would love to break into something that pays 80-100K within a few years. I'd prefer staying in healthcare since I already have some background, but I'm open to anything that doesn't require more than 4-5 years of additional training. Has anyone here made a similar transition? What paths worked for you? I'm feeling pretty lost right now and would really appreciate any guidance you can share. 🙏 #CareerChange #HealthcareCareers #SalaryGrowth

Stuck at $80K Despite Masters Degree - Need Career Advice! 😤💼

Hey everyone, I'm feeling pretty lost right now and could really use some guidance. 😔 I've been grinding in healthcare for over 6 years now with both a Bachelor's and Master's degree, but I'm still stuck at $80K while my goal is to hit $150K. My husband and I are drowning in student loans and desperately want to buy our first home and start a family, but this salary just isn't cutting it. 💸 I've been eyeing healthcare program management as my next move, but honestly, I'm starting to doubt myself. My current workplace feels like a dead end - promotions seem to go to people with connections rather than qualifications. Last month, they passed me over for a leadership role I was perfect for, giving it to someone with half my experience. 😠 I'm at a crossroads and feeling overwhelmed. How long did it take you to break into six figures? Should I stick it out or make a bold move? Any advice would mean the world to me right now. 🙏 #CareerAdvice #HealthcareCareers #SalaryStruggles #JobCareer #Career
