What are some good things to major in that pays well, easy and relates to the medical field?

Question:

Well, I plan on doing something in the medical field in the future, like being a registered nurse. However, I know that the demand for nurses is high, but getting accepted to be a nurse or getting into any of those classes are hard. What are some other alternatives to major in that relate to health that pays well, its not very hard, and its fun? Thanks.

Answer:
Nurses Aides (Aides) or License Practical Nurse (LPN) are two alternatives to becoming a Registered Nurse (RN). Current pay in Atlanta, GA for a LPN is between $31,269 and $43,414. Being a LPN requires less school and less responsibility as an RN. Also, if you decide you like nursing a lot you can go back to school at night and weekends to become an RN. RN's are in high demand and can make from $47,914 to $67,084.

Well I am an RN and have been in the field for a long time. You were doing well until you got to the not very hard part. I guess that the easiest job I have seen would be a recreational or activity therapist in a large psych hospital. The requirements for the position seem to be kind of flexible. I have ran into everything from PE majors to Yogi instructors and the hours are not bad. Having to chart on everybody looks to be the hardest part.
Now I realize that a lot of recreational therapists are going to disagree with me. But I am just telling how it looks from my viewpoint. I may well be wrong.
