Many people around me want to leave tech because of this. I'm considering it too, but unfortunately, I have no other skills outside of IT. I guess I would need to get re-qualified. These days, I think it's better to be in healthcare than IT.

Meh, nurse pay seemed alright till I learned how much they’re worked. Maybe physicians get a pretty good deal, but the reasons for that are also why you won’t be able to transition to that career.

Physicians have to work residency, which SUCKS. It is quite common for an advanced postgrad resident (neurosurgery, heart surgery, other specialties) to be paid less than a CRNA.
