(AS) Nursing vs (AS)Radiologic Technology vs (AS)Medical Laboratory Technology

There are special requirements for these careers. I am turning 38 this year and I've been doing a massive amount of research into many different fields that my community college offers. I want to get out of the warehouse type of work and atmosphere with all the slangs and profanity that's often used in that area of work.

I know that these three are very competitive and getting in usually means getting the highest grades possible in pre-res . Recently I completed CHM 114 - General Chemistry for Engineers at Arizona State University. Which is a 4-credit course and I finished with an A (93%).

Nursing -

  1. Completion of Biology with B(83%) or higher
  2. Completion of Chemistry with C(735) or higher
  3. GPA of 2.7 or higher
  4. Completion of TEAS with 60% in each section (Reading, Math, Science, and English)
  5. One(1) recommendation form

RadioLogic Technology -

  1. Completion of Anatomy & Physiology I and II with B(83%) or higher
  2. GPA of 2.7 or higher
  3. Three(3) recommendation form
  4. Resume

Medical Laboratory Technology -

  1. Completion of Biology with C(73%) or higher
  2. Completion of Chemistry with C(73%) or higher
  3. GPA of 2.5 or higher

What do you think will be the best path for me to go down? If any of these will matter about my age (turning 38 in a few months), working full-time (40 hours), Once I graduate which will help me get a job, Which will be most difficult to get into at community college, if it's hard to get into what would make things much easier, any anymore things that you would love to add that's great advice for me?

in conclusion, I am willing to go all in on this life changing decisions. I really want out of the warehouse atmosphere slang lingos. I don't want to start something then a year in think that I'm wasting my time. This is going to help me down the road for the rest of my life and I am ready to start this change now with all of your help.

Thank you in advance

Mechanical Engineering Technology vs Electrical Engineering Technology? Which of the two would be better?

I'm turning 38 later this year and I've looked into these two majors and my job pays full tuition. My community college is also free for all MASS residents.

At this age what would be a better to go into that will land me a job after two years? Associates in which of this would be better?

Thank you all in advance

What's the current best associates degree or certificates to pursue? I am turning 38...the finale, please help

Hey all,

So I am turning 38 this year. I work at a company that pays 100% for my tuition and also lives in a state (MASSACHUSETTS) where all community college is free. So I would be able to obtain my associates degree fully paid or even an associates transfer (that I can use to obtain a bachelors degree).

I'm in a dilemma right now and took a breather to look at everything and make sure the current path I am working is will be 100% achievable. I currently work 40 hours a week and I am currently enrolled at Arizona State University (online) for bachelors in electrical engineering. It requires 120 credits to complete B.S EE. I did the math and realistically without burning myself out I can take about 2-3 classes (6-9 credits) comfortably which would take approximately 4.5 - 6.5 years to complete.

I am turning 38 this year and I do not want to waste any more time. I went through a very rough time the last few years and do not want to start something and not be able to finish it. I currently work in the warehouse so I am wanting to do anything that gets me out the of warehouse type of work. I am very good with computers and very good with typing (around 90-100 WPM). I would say I love technology, however I open to everything because I really need to get out the warehouse environment.

I would like to know what's the current best associates degree to get right now that is not very competitive or let me try to ask this that would not be "difficult" to get into?

I was looking at the following careers and did my research for them and all these have special admission requirements such as Completion of college General Biology and Completion of high school or college Chemistry with a grade B or higher.

  • Radiologic Technology (AS) - This was very interesting but have read that it's very competitive at community college and is hard to get into.
  • Nursing (ASN) - Same as above but read that it's even harder to get into even with all the special requirements.
  • Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) (AS)
  • Electrical Engineering Technology (AS)
  • Computer Science Secure Software Development (SSD)
  • Mechanical Engineering Technology (AS)
  • Cybersecurity (AS)
  • Health Information Technology (AS)
  • Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering (AS)
  • Information Technology (AS)
  • Network Management (AS)
  • Forensic Accounting (AS)
  • Associate of Science in Network Administrator
  • Associate degree or certificate in Engineering Technology – CAD
  • Certificate in Engineering Technology – Precision Machining
  • Associate degree or certificate in Information Technology – Networking and support
  • Associate degree or certificate in Digital Forensics

Thanks so much in advance and would love advice from everyone. I really would stay in the currently major I'm doing but every time I think of the 7 years and how my job pays for the school I get second thoughts. ONLY because I would say my job started clearing a department from our site and makes me wonder what if I was 2 years in and all of a sudden something happens and my department was the next to go, I would be stuck with just college courses and would have to pay for the rest of the way. My community college also (MCC - Middlesex Community College) offer associate degree in Engineering Science Transfer.

So I really just want something that has a stable pathway such as being able to take a career at community college and regardless of what happens at my job I would be covered fully for the tuition. SORRY for all the rant and long e-mail and I may have not even made sense a few times. I am pretty much saying I WANT OUT OF THE WAREHOUSE type of work and I am willing to go all in for this but really just want to make sure the path actually has steps for me on the way to the end and not be cut off somewhere down the path. If there is anything else that I did not list here please let me know, my community college has other majors.

THANK YOU!
