    The Health Degree Tier List is finally here where we will be ranking health majors from S tier (amazing) to F tier (weaksauce).
    ----------
    Health majors are some of the best degrees out there and in this video we will be ranking some of the most popular ones.
    One of the cool things about health careers is it's really obvious what career you will go for when you get a degree. Nurse degree = Nurses, Physician assistant degree = physician assistant etc.
    This might seem like an unimportant point, but there are many degrees out there where almost none of the graduates end up getting a job related to the degree subject.
    This is not a problem with health majors. These are also some of the most stable careers and health careers are growing faster than any other type of career according to BLS.gov (14% on average).
    On top of that, health careers are very rewarding and good for certain types of people.

      Hello, I love your channel and everything but you are VERY WRONG when it comes to being an RD.. dietetics is a very immense field where we can work pretty much any where!! (Food service and renal dietitians have the most competitive salaries around the high 60s-70k a year) & I understand we dont start out as much as a nurse with their bachelors degree, but after atleast a years worth of experiences outside the internship, salary becomes very competitive!! We also have a VERY easy time moving into management and we can also get various specialty certifications that boost our careers as well. Also, being an RD isn't soo stressful, we have a high career satisfaction rating and it's a very interesting career and the hours are very flexible, which means you can still have a LIFE. I also follow numerous dietitians that have been in this field for YEARS and give advice about the field and they f'n LOVE IT!! We DONT deserve an F. More so a C+ because our field is still growing.. fast.. literally a year ago our salary median was in the high 50s.. and its STILL growing!!! Were also expanding the places we can work for.. even with pharmaceutical sales!!
      Also, I have family and friends that work as dental assistants and you can literally become one from a 12 week program, and get out actually making a living wage. They also enjoy their careers as well.. I just wanted to throw that out there. Thank you for sharing your opinion, but I'm gunna have to disagree on some factors!!!! Money isn't everything!! I've known people in that high tier list that make ALOT, but aren't as happy and can't find time to even enjoy their salaries, but I guess it's all about balance sometimes!! Thanks again for sharing, but I just had to say something so I can further introduce you to some research I've done and some first hand experiences I've had!!!

    As a SLP grad student, most of our graduate training is very much like nursing where our second part of schooling is heavily clinical based to get the clinical hours required for our certification. You didn't mention Audiology. Also SLPs do so much more than just speech therapy. We work with everyone from birth to those who are geriatric. And within two years we can grow our salaries closer to 90k 😊

    Decided to rewatch the list. Be verrrry careful with Sonography. 98% of those people end up with MK injuries even practicing good ergonomics, exercise, taking care of themselves. Theres a reason why the profession has good pay for only 2 yrs of school. I have met seasoned sonographers who said they all have something and I have a friend whose only been doing it for 2 yrs and got a shoulder injury. They dont just scan pregnant bellies they have to also dig that camera thing into 200-300lb patients' bellies to look for abnormalities constantly. It also goes into cavities and the angle fucks up peoples hands and theres not really a way avoid it cause every patients body is different. Be warned!!

    As an RPh, I think that pharmacist should be lower. 3 out of 5 jobs are retail, and that sector continues to consolidate and become more efficient (fewer jobs). It's also much easier to get into pharmacy school than it used to be. Salaries are starting to decline. We really need a path to something like a PA or NP since that is where the demand is.

      I’ve been one for over a decade. Not nearly as many career options as an RN, much less respect, pay, but just as much or more work. Most LPNS work in skilled nursing which is slave labor. You will see, smell and do disgusting tasks on a regular basis. Other nurses, patients, family and managers will demean you. Choosing it as a career is one of my biggest regrets. Did you know LPNs have one of the highest divorce rates? It makes total sense because we work long shitty hours, holidays and weekends but aren’t compensated well like RNs for all our sacrifices. I highly recommend avoiding this career choice! It’s not worth a measly 40k without OT. Plus most people can’t get into community college programs because the waiting lists are so long. They end up paying $30k to work in hell hole nursing home jobs or even home health which pays little and I’ve been sexually harassed and feared for my safety in a few households. LPN is an absolute garbage career and money hungry experience vocational schools hype it into something it’s not. People go into it thinking they’ll be cool like the nurses on ER or Grey’s Anatomy. As an LPN you are unlikely to work in a hospital. There is nothing cool or glamorous about the profession. Don’t do it for your resume either. Most hospitals will always hire a new grad RN over someone whose been an LPN for decades. You’re basically a CNA that passes meds. You may have a lot of knowledge but your job won’t challenge you mentally only physically and emotionally.

    That's something that's super disappointing about being a doctor though. I still plan on going to med school, but I'm surprised nothing's been done about the conditions yet and how overworked many doctors are considering how important of a career it is. Fatigue is real and we already know it can impair judgement to same degree that being drunk does, we have evidence that fatigue leads to potentially deadly mistakes in the medical field, so why are we still expecting doctors to do their jobs well on little to sleep? Reasonable hours means that doctors can better treat their patients.

      I think they should lower the requirments instead. Let more people be doctors and make the degree cheaper (probably around the same cost as the engineering degrees) and have lower requirments (lets have top 10% instead of top 0.1%) going on right now for people to get in. Normal workers could probs do a better job than fatigued hardworkers.

    Hi, just wanted to mention that optometry school is 4 years and you can do an optional ~1 year residency if you choose to do so. Otherwise, you can start practicing right out of school if you choose to do so. I've never heard of the journey taking 8 years, but if it is a thing, it happens way less frequently compared to what I said earlier, or at least talked about less frequently.
    Overall, cool video!

    As a dentist, I would agree with B tier, and I would also agree with dental hygienists as an A tier. But I disagree with putting physicians above dentists. Dentists do have a lot of debt, but if youre in private practice, you can realistically pull in 200k+ if you play your cards right, which can easily be more than a physician. I personally have never met a dentist who is still paying off loans in their late 30s, maybe if the started dental school at 30 but thats pretty rare. Most people can pay off loans in 6-8 years. Plus, dentists don't have a required residency program like physicians do, so dentists can start paying off student loans once they graduate. Not to mention, dentists have much more autonomy than physicians, and it is much easier to schedule time off/vacation time. Of course, its more hands on work, which can be good or bad depending on your personality. I have numerous friends who are physicians, and some of them told me they wished they went the dental route instead.

    I think Dentist and medical doctor belongs on A tier at the very least. Dentists usually have the flexibility to set their own hours and make much more than 150k, and that’s not including specialists where just salaries and not even practice owners can reach 500k for some of them. On the other hand m.d. is much more complicated to classify, you can make 7 figures in some specialties and in others low 6 figures. Hours can be minimal or high. And the salaries u can potentially make may offset the opportunity cost depending on specialty. I think m.d. should also be A rank just because it has the highest potential than any other profession on the list but it also has problems.

    Objectively if you look at dietetics that way it might rank low. I don’t blame you for putting it down there. I do believe that before studying nutrition, it is important to know what you want to do. Like go into clinical, community, food service, culinary, outpatient, private practice and what specialty you want to do. It is a very diverse career field. The more specialized you are the more money you make. We also take the same classes as doctors, pharmacists and nurses so going to grad school is easy because you have the prerequisites. A lot of RDs go to PA school. I am not saying that it is perfect and I have my issues with the field. I do think the most stressful part of my job is the disrespect we get from other health professionals who think all we do is tell people to eat vegetables, people who want nutrition advice for free and having to justify my career all the time.

      Preach. Soon, this field will require an MS. We get very little respect in healthcare.

Who do you think calculates their needs for Tubefeeds and TPN? Oh, others think they can, but when they try, we always have to correct the orders. So many diseases require dietary management or risk death, diabetes, esrd, chf, end stage hepatic disease, dysphagia, etc.... Go in the patients room for an assessment, and nurses yell at me about not having enough Ms. Dash with the last meal. SMH. No respect and low pay.

    I believe it’s worth it to go for those medical doctor degrees disregarding the debt because honestly, technologist in general cannot function without those trained professionals who went to years and years of school and experiences within the field. Plus, being a doctor is a great achievement because I doubt anyone would actually be a doctor. No offense but a lot of people want to do other majors like buisness and nursing, not saying that it’s bad or anything, but we need more doctors in the US especially with the future epidemics. My cousin is entering his fellowship as a surgeon and my sister who is a nuse practitioner wouldnt even dare to go to Medical school because of all the tough stress and high GPA to get into those schools. Also, the classes are extremely difficult too. The amount of science classes that they have to take compared to nursing, dental hygiene, etc are astronomical. These people need more respect in the communities because they are risking their lives getting sued and responsible for their own mistakes, and live in high tensions every time they perform a surgery. And doctors could specialize in anything. I dont think anybody would do eye surgery as an easy career. It takes a MD and people take advantage of these laser eye surgery. It’s so tough to have that enduring mindset and the pay does make up for the investment for being in that school. Respect ✊ for all doctors.
