I graduated 4 years ago with a degree in kinesiology, but when I graduated there were no jobs in the field except for maybe personal training or kinesiologist(I would still have to get a seperate cert in it, but there's only 300 jobs nationwide). The only other option was to attend physical therapy school which would have been $80000, and 3 years of full time schooling with classes from 8am to 5pm so I couldn't work during that time either. I thought that was a bad option because at the time I had hardly any money saved up, I would have 3 years of not working, and I would feel locked in that field. Also, when I got out of college and applied to jobs, all I had were the physical therapy aide jobs on my resume, and I was shocked to find out a lot of places didn't even know what physical therapy was. I've been working as a firefighter since 2018 making around 40k a year. However, the bad things of being a firefighter are the schedule 24 on 48 off which wasn't bad at first sometimes we do 2 days in a row with one day as mandatory OT, so we average 70 to 80 hour weeks so hourly the pay only comes out to 13 an hour or so. We also have to wait a minimum of 3 years between promotions and they only give us 3000 extra.
In the meantime, I acquired 3 information technology certs CompTIA A+, Net+, and Security+, and I have been looking at getting into a help desk, sys admin, or network admin position. I've also looked at attending Western Governors University and it would only cost around 10k maybe less if I accelerated. The only thing that scares me with IT is a lot of these jobs require so much, like I went in for one interview and they wanted me to do a 60 question test.
However, now I'm starting to wonder if I should put effort into something else like law school and would I be taking a step back getting another bachelor's? Law school would be way more expensive though at around 150000 at least. I like the political aspect of law, but not so much the judge Judy aspect of hearing domestic cases etc.
I could also do physical therapy assistant which is a $10000 associates degree, but that pays the same amount as the fire department, so I wouldn't really feel it's a step up.
Which would you say is the best of these considering my scenario
- IT cost 10 to 15k
- Physical therapy school $80000 and 3 years of not working
- Law School $150000
