re: 2 year degree help

Once you get last the modesty, you'll probably be ok.


Past. Past it.

Do instrumentation and electrician. You could go back to the O&G industry and not have to worry about heavy lifting.

I&E design if you still want to work in the O&G field. You can make decent pay. I made $96k last year doing this line of work. I have only been in this field for about 6-7 years.

Didn't read all the reocommendations, but I'd encourage you to disregard most health care fields with a 2 year degree unless you are okay with $50-60K or less if you can find a job. Also consider that you will have nearly no opportunities for career advancement with that 2 year degree in healthcare. With some exceptions the BS is becoming the entry level standard across healthcare. Most notably in Nursing and many Allied Health areas as well. For Management/Leadership the BS or MS is becoming the industry standard.

Physical Therapy Assistants do okay but the real money is made by the Therapists who have a Masters or Doctoral level education. Respiratory Therapists are a dime a dozen here in FL but your mileage may vary depending on where you are.

I'd look at the Energy industry or something dealing with logistics/transport/distribution as those industries have shown strong growth over the past few years.
