The potential for 6 figures is not there if you are only going to work 3 days a week. Sure, you could eventually continue your education to become a nurse practitioner or nurse anesthetist, and then your income potential is much better. But working 3 days a week as an RN, you could pull in around $40-$60K depending on location, shift differential, etc.

Then you most likely wouldn't pass RN school.

Look into becoming a CRNA. Ours right now are making ~$110/hour.

I took my ex gf's online quizzes for her while she was in nursing school at Southeastern. It's really not that hard.
I have a lot of field medical experience from the military.

Ammunition and explosives technician for a couple different units in the Marine Corps.
I have no interest in engineering either tbh.

I understand that.
What area of law would you want to practice?
Want to do Criminal Justice?

That's what my undergraduate degree was in, so more than likely yes.

I'd go to law school and give counsel/represent veterans like yourself.
Thank you for your service

Likely won't make dick here unless you get into a firm that reps the big name idiots like mayors and stuff.

A very few wealthy lawyers is all you know. And, I know many burned out lawyers working crazy hours, including late nights, early mornings, most weekends and many holidays (excluding Christmas and Thanksgiving).
Agree with others. If money is your driving force you should go RN and then NP or NA.

Starting pay in my area for RNs is $29 an hour before shift diff.
29x40 (4x10hr shifts)= 60k
If that's the 'starting' then the potential to work 3 12hr shifts a week and make 75k is definitely doable.
Not to mention, travel nursing is an option. $3500 a week to work in California isn't a bad option either.
Could go NP and open a clinic, M-F 9-5 and make 150k.

RN
Much less debt, higher floor of earnings (also a lower ceiling, but less debt + less risk of not making anything)
RN is also always in demand, less supply of them too.
You can always work anywhere you want or move without having to worry about starting up a new practice, find a job with another firm etc

Go CRNA after nursing. Way better. The job is awesome, pay is amazing.
Posted on 9/7/17 at 2:42 pm to Kcoyote
Are you a CRNA?
Posted on 9/7/17 at 2:46 pm to Gnarkill
Do you want to prosecute? The question is not will you prosecute at some point in time--many people who have a passion for criminal defense work have experience as a prosecutor. The question is do you have a passion for prosecution?

No, I've just worked with them a lot in the past. Talked to a lot of them. Actually have a friend who got through RN on the GI bill as well and then worked for a bit to get the requirements for CRNA entrance, then did it. He loves his job.
You have a lot of autonomy if you're in a good group. It isn't like you're being loomed over constantly by an MD.
