2. open home health services


i was actually thinking about something along these lines recently. what does someone without a health services background need to open a business like this? Does the owner need to be certified or can the owner simply hire certified personnel (be it home health or therapy)? i have a business background managing personnel but nothing in health (but i want to get into health because that's not something that's going away).

Buy rental properties while you still own franchises so credit/cashflow isn't an issue. Once you have enough units leased and passive income stream of say 6k/mo (72k year) sell the franchises and play golf

i know crnas make alot of money.


PhD program, you'll need to have a BSN(4-5years), minimum 2YRS experience in critical care(need more to be a top candidate) . On top of that, CRNA school is 3years and you cannot work while in school. Also CRNA school is more competitive than Medical School which adds to the challenge.

I'd also look at nuclear med tech, rad tech and ultrasound /sonography. None will be in the 6figs, but easy workload with decent pay. Nuclear med pays really well for the work.

As with most things, higher the pay, the more education and effort.

I did it. frick, i could have pretty much wrote that exact OP 3 years ago. Owned my own business. After 18 years I burnt out. Sold everything. Went back to school @37. I’m currently a junior in CE with a 3.3 GPA

My advice?

Do the dam thing. You won’t regret it.

But there’s one big difference you probably need to figure out 1st. I knew what I was interested in and wanted to do. You should figure out what interests you before you jump off that cliff

ETA: and I get discounted rates to play golf @LSU lol

Computer programming/data analytics.

Take online SQL courses, tableau, Oracle BI, Python and R... All courses pretty much free. Never have to deal with anyone, just data.

Use whatever liquid money you're comfortable investing. sell a widget(s) you are passionate about. Open up a shopify account. spend money on facebook advertisements and get a strong social media game. not necessarily in that order*

online sales are where it's at if you can find your way to ANY measure of a competitive advantage. if you can get your orders done and shipped out on the same day, customers freak out happy.

*edit*

i'm in my mid to late 30's as well. just quit my 16 year job in january and joined forces with the wife on her blossoming online store, and haven't looked back.

Aubie, I’m in a similar boat as OP.

What all did the aptitude testing cover? I’m interested in it, and looking for guidance.

At $720, I’d like to know what I’m getting.

TIA
