Tech or Health?
Tech or Healthcare?
I’m 25 and honestly feeling stuck trying to decide between healthcare (nursing/radiology tech) or tech/project management/cybersecurity.
I already have a non healthcare bachelor’s degree and currently work in customer operations. I know I want to make more money and eventually have more freedom/flexibility in life, but I’m overwhelmed trying to choose the “right” path.
Part of me likes healthcare because it feels stable and more active, but I also like tech because of the flexibility and growth opportunities.
Has anyone here switched into either field? If you work in nursing, rad tech, cybersecurity, IT, or project management, what has your experience realistically been like regarding:
- pay
- work-life balance
- stress
- flexibility
- long-term growth
- burnout
I’d really appreciate honest insight because I feel stuck trying to make the smartest long term decision.
