Thank you! I found this advice really helpful! Could you elaborate more on the moving up in rank from cafeteria to x ray tech? I’m intrigued. I also heard about people who never went to college working same hourly pay as someone who got a master’s degree, what’s that about?
I can only speak about my own company. I am ASSUMING that ANY hospital or medical corporation worth even HALF A FUCK is at least similar to the programs and whatnot that my company does.
Ive seen PCAs finish their nursing program on the company dime and then they end up being nurses for the company for about 5 years.
Ive seen lots of housekeepers go from being janitors to surgical techs and even surgery sterilization and whatnot.
It very much depends. But from my experience, my company wants loyal professionals. And part of that is paying for training and sending folks to school.
And healthcare needs workers from all levels of professionalism. We need them all and the pay at the ground floor is usually better than most competitors and more secure due to.the inelasticity of medicine.

Thanks for the info! Your hospital’s program seems amazing, I wonder what state are you from? (Sorry if that’s a bit personal)
That’s a bit more than im comfortable talking about.
Ah sorry for asking a personal question :(
It’s okay
