<p>Hey, this may have been done already but I was hoping people could list some health careers not requiring MDs that make at least 80K a year. All I can think of is pharmacist and optometrist; obviously more of these kinds of careers exit. Also, if people could list the corresponding majors or pathways to these careers, it would be appreciated. </p>
<p>Thanks A Lot,</p>

<p>Nurse practitioner. Need a masters in nursing. Depending where you go I've heard people say they can get up to $100,000, but around $80,000 is more the norm.</p>
<p>physician's assistant--not exactly sure of salary in all areas, but I do know some PAs that make over this amount in cardiothoracic surgery practices.</p>
<p>thanks, keep em coming</p>
<p>Nurse anesthetist. </p>
<p>Need to be an RN, work for 3 years in an ICU setting, then 3 years of CRNA schooling.</p>

<p>chioropracter</p>
<p>Open up a pregnancy clinic?</p>
<p>I have no clue how much that would make you, but it's another idea if you're more interested the sociological side of medicine.</p>
<p>And you yourself wouldn't necessarily have to have a medical degree...</p>
<p>ALSO: Athletic trainer. They're in high demand.</p>
<p>I'm not positive, but I think all you need is a degree in sports medicine or exercise science.</p>
<p>Athletic trainers are specific programs - but found under different colleges within different universities.</p>
<p>There are also Health education/prevention careers</p>
<p>Medical Family Therapy
Medical Social Work</p>
<p>Both are graduate school programs and would grand a Master's degree.</p>
