I can go back to school in many different ways to increase my autonomy and income.

radiography! i loveee my job and its so versatile so if you like being super hands on or if you don't there's a modality for you! i dont think its too difficult class-wise aside from hefty physics and if anatomy isnt your thing but overall such a good career path and you can make well over 6 figures
