what's happening it's shane here and

play00:02

it's your favorite time of the year we

play00:04

are doing the yearly tier lists and this

play00:06

particular one is going to be the health

play00:08

degree tier list for 2022. so we're

play00:11

going to be going over all different

play00:13

levels of health degrees from associate

play00:15

level degrees to take about two to three

play00:17

years or so all the way up to doctoral

play00:20

level degrees that might take eight

play00:21

years or even longer and i saw your

play00:24

suggestions in the last video i did

play00:26

where i didn't include certain careers

play00:28

certain degrees that you wanted me to

play00:30

and so i made sure to include the ones

play00:32

that a lot of people suggested so make

play00:35

sure you comment down below if you don't

play00:37

see the degree that you wanted me to

play00:38

talk about in this year's video and if

play00:40

you haven't done it already go ahead

play00:42

gently tap the like button let's set a

play00:44

goal of a thousand likes on this video

play00:47

and also if you haven't done it already

play00:49

hit the subscribe button ring the

play00:50

notification bell and let's jump right

play00:52

into it guys first one on this list is

play00:54

one we've never talked about before

play00:56

which is health related business type

play00:58

degrees at the bachelor level so

play01:01

something like hospital administration

play01:03

or health administration so of course i

play01:05

don't have time to go over the

play01:06

statistics in this video because it's a

play01:08

tier list video there's way too many

play01:10

that we have to go over it would be like

play01:11

30 40 minutes so i'm just gonna say when

play01:14

it comes to this one

play01:15

not a great amount of demand uh the

play01:18

payment is okay not as good as a lot of

play01:21

other health related degrees though it's

play01:23

also a little bit weird because a lot of

play01:25

the time people who rise up to become

play01:27

you know administrators managers etc in

play01:30

a hospital setting are people who were

play01:33

nurses and doctors and pharmacists etc

play01:36

and not people who got a business degree

play01:38

in health care administration because

play01:40

let's be honest the people who know

play01:42

healthcare the best are the people who

play01:43

actually work in healthcare but with

play01:45

that being said it's not a horrible

play01:47

degree and it can also be a pretty good

play01:49

option for you if you want to maybe

play01:50

double major in that one while you're

play01:52

getting a health degree so for that

play01:54

reason i'm going to go ahead and put

play01:55

this one into c tier next one on the

play01:58

list is going to be a doctor of nursing

play02:00

practice or dnp now this is basically a

play02:04

nurse practitioner at the doctorate

play02:06

level so i've talked about nurse

play02:08

practitioner quite a few times before

play02:10

that is a master's level degree this one

play02:12

is one step up at the doctoral level so

play02:15

very similar to nurse practitioner just

play02:17

more medical training now if you're

play02:19

doing this to get that extra knowledge

play02:21

to get that extra training that's great

play02:23

can totally be worth it for you however

play02:26

generally speaking you're not going to

play02:27

be making all that much more than just a

play02:29

nurse practitioner at the master's level

play02:32

although it may in the future kind of

play02:34

move towards

play02:35

more people getting their doctorate so

play02:38

if you want to get it kind of as a

play02:39

safety net that might be a good option

play02:41

but overall i'm going to go ahead and

play02:43

put this one into a tier still a very

play02:45

good option but nurse practitioner on

play02:47

its own is probably good enough next one

play02:49

on the list is going to be a doctor of

play02:51

podiatric medicine or also known as dpm

play02:55

and this is what you would get in order

play02:56

to become a podiatrist this is a doctor

play02:59

who specializes in the treatment and

play03:01

care of the feet another one that we

play03:03

haven't talked about on the channel yet

play03:05

and it can be a very good option

play03:08

in terms of the pay at the doctoral

play03:10

level it's decent not amazing and in

play03:13

terms of the demand here pretty good but

play03:16

also again it doesn't pop off the page

play03:19

and so for that reason i'm going to go

play03:20

ahead and put this one into b-tier next

play03:23

one on the list is going to be a doctor

play03:25

of osteopathic medicine also known as

play03:27

d.o and this is very similar to a

play03:30

medical doctor or an md in fact they're

play03:33

actually merging these two tracks uh

play03:35

here within the next five to ten years

play03:37

or so so medical doctor and do will

play03:40

essentially be the same thing however if

play03:42

you look at the statistics do's do make

play03:44

slightly less than mds so for whatever

play03:47

reason they're slightly less respected

play03:50

but the counteracting side to that is it

play03:52

is slightly easier to get into do school

play03:55

than it is to get into medical school so

play03:57

there are some very slight differences

play03:59

between md and do i'm not saying it

play04:02

should be that way you know i'm not

play04:03

saying that mds should be more respected

play04:05

than does that's just kind of the way

play04:07

that it is and within the next five to

play04:09

ten years it might be that nobody even

play04:11

notices a difference at all but with

play04:13

that being said i'm going to go ahead

play04:15

and put do into a tier next one on the

play04:18

list is going to be dentist assistant

play04:20

this is basically an associate or

play04:21

two-year level degree and it's pretty

play04:23

good when it comes to the stats for a

play04:25

two-year degree you know you make pretty

play04:27

decent money there's not a whole lot of

play04:29

demand for it though so if you compare

play04:31

this to like all associate's degrees

play04:33

it would be relatively good but when

play04:35

you're comparing it to other health

play04:36

degrees that are already just really

play04:38

good health degrees in general are just

play04:40

good across the board i have to put this

play04:42

one into d tier next one on the list is

play04:45

going to be dental hygienist so this is

play04:48

basically a two to three year degree as

play04:51

well

play04:52

except it makes way way better money

play04:54

like they make 70 80 000 a year it's

play04:57

incredible now there's also a decent

play04:59

amount of demand for this one um for the

play05:02

two to three years that it takes for you

play05:03

to get into this it can be a fantastic

play05:06

choice it can be a fantastic career to

play05:08

go into so for that reason i'm going to

play05:10

go ahead and put this one into a tier

play05:12

next one on the list is going to be

play05:14

dentist

play05:15

this is a doctoral level degree i think

play05:18

everybody is familiar with what dentists

play05:20

do they make extremely good money

play05:23

probably the second best out of

play05:24

everybody on this list however you do

play05:27

have to go to school for the full eight

play05:29

years generally in order to get your

play05:31

doctorate you also have to go deep into

play05:34

debt it's one of those careers that

play05:35

requires you to go super deep into debt

play05:38

not just student loan debt but also if

play05:41

you want to start your own practice

play05:42

you're probably going to have to take

play05:43

out like a million dollar business loan

play05:45

as well

play05:49

but with that being said it can be worth

play05:51

it

play05:52

i'm personally not a huge fan of degrees

play05:55

where you have to go super super deep

play05:57

into debt and you're probably not even

play05:59

going to break even until you're in your

play06:01

mid to late 30s but that's just me i'm

play06:03

somebody who wants to enjoy my late 20s

play06:05

and early 30s and i don't want to have

play06:07

to be worrying about being deep into

play06:09

debt but with that being said for the

play06:11

right type of person this can be pretty

play06:13

good i'm going to go ahead and put it

play06:14

into a tier next one on the list is

play06:16

going to be a diagnostic medical

play06:19

sonographer this is another associate

play06:21

level degree it takes about two to three

play06:23

years and you can make really good money

play06:26

with this one as well somewhere around

play06:27

seventy thousand dollars a year plus

play06:29

medical degrees medical careers some of

play06:31

the only professions out there where you

play06:33

can do like two years of schooling and

play06:36

then you know you're gonna be making

play06:37

really ridiculously good money right off

play06:39

the bat so this one is going to go into

play06:42

a tier next one on the list is going to

play06:44

be dietetics and nutritionists really

play06:47

cool career i think diet is incredibly

play06:49

important unfortunately the statistics

play06:52

on this one are not that great and so

play06:54

for that reason i'm going to have to put

play06:55

this one into d tier next one on the

play06:58

list is going to be a health and

play06:59

wellness general degree another one i

play07:01

think it's super important but

play07:03

unfortunately the statistics are very

play07:04

bad especially when you compare it to

play07:06

other health-related degrees so for that

play07:08

reason i have to put this one into

play07:10

f-tier next one is going to be a medical

play07:13

doctor or md i already talked about this

play07:16

one before when we went over do but yeah

play07:19

they make the most money out of any

play07:21

profession on this entire list it also

play07:23

takes the most commitment so generally

play07:26

you're gonna have four years of

play07:27

undergrad four years of med school and

play07:29

then a residency that lasts anywhere

play07:31

from three to seven years and then on

play07:33

top of that some people will end up

play07:35

doing a fellowship which can last

play07:37

another one to three years so you're

play07:39

looking at potentially up to 18 years of

play07:41

schooling and training before you start

play07:42

to make the full medical doctor pay but

play07:45

for the right personality this can be a

play07:47

great choice and so for that reason i'm

play07:49

going to go ahead and put it into a tier

play07:51

next one on the list is going to be the

play07:53

classic nurse this is going to be like a

play07:56

bachelor level nurse great career very

play07:58

flexible you can get like a two-year

play08:00

nursing degree make decent money right

play08:01

off the bat then you get to go back to

play08:03

school after working for a few years get

play08:05

a four-year nursing degree make even

play08:07

more money have even more abilities and

play08:09

responsibilities then if you feel like

play08:11

it you can go back to school again get a

play08:13

master's in nursing and now you're

play08:15

making ridiculously good money and if

play08:17

you feel like it you can even get more

play08:19

training and get a doctorate so this one

play08:21

is going to go into esteer next one on

play08:24

the list is one i just spoke about which

play08:26

is the masters it's also known as a

play08:28

nurse practitioner at the master's level

play08:31

you can prescribe diagnose just like a

play08:34

doctor you don't have to be under the

play08:35

supervision of a doctor and one thing

play08:38

that's really cool about being a nurse

play08:39

practitioner is it generally is

play08:41

respected and recognized worldwide so if

play08:44

you're somebody who wants to maybe go

play08:46

work in england or go work in australia

play08:48

there's a good chance that you will be

play08:50

able to with an american nurse

play08:52

practitioner degree this one is also

play08:54

going to go into ester next one on the

play08:56

list is going to be occupational therapy

play08:59

this is usually going to be a master's

play09:02

level degree now occupational therapy is

play09:04

very similar to physical therapy there's

play09:07

just a few key differences and i'm going

play09:09

to go over that one next just so you can

play09:11

kind of see them side by side but yeah

play09:13

occupational therapy is more at the

play09:15

master's level whereas physical therapy

play09:17

is moving towards being more of a

play09:18

doctoral level degree occupational

play09:20

therapy and physical therapy you're both

play09:23

going to be working with patients and

play09:25

trying to help them get better patients

play09:27

who have usually had some type of injury

play09:30

with occupational therapy there's more

play09:31

of an emphasis on helping patients

play09:33

actually do things whereas with physical

play09:35

therapy there's more of an emphasis on

play09:37

helping patients strengthen their bones

play09:39

muscles tendons ligaments etc but very

play09:43

similar when it comes to the statistics

play09:45

physical therapy is slightly better both

play09:48

of these have very very high job

play09:50

satisfaction um probably the highest on

play09:53

this entire list and probably the

play09:55

highest job satisfaction period and they

play09:57

both make relatively decent money

play09:59

however the statistics don't pop off the

play10:01

page and so for that reason i'm going to

play10:03

put both of them into a tier

play10:06

next one on the list i'm also going to

play10:07

be going over occupational therapy

play10:09

assistant as well as physical therapy

play10:11

assistant and there is a difference

play10:13

between these two so again pretty

play10:15

self-explanatory here you're going to be

play10:17

assisting physical therapists as a

play10:19

physical therapy assistant you'll be

play10:21

assisting occupational therapists as an

play10:23

occupational therapy assistant but with

play10:25

that being said the statistics the

play10:27

numbers for occupational therapy

play10:28

assistant is better than physical

play10:30

therapy assistant and so for that reason

play10:33

i'm going to go ahead and put

play10:34

occupational therapy assistant in b-tier

play10:36

and physical therapy assistant into

play10:39

c-tier next one on the list i'm going to

play10:41

be talking about is an optician this is

play10:44

one where it is basically like an

play10:45

associate level degree sometimes you can

play10:48

even get into it with a certificate so

play10:50

this one takes around one to two years

play10:52

and basically you're going to be helping

play10:54

people with really basic eye care right

play10:56

so things like getting their eye glasses

play10:58

fitted but the numbers on this one

play11:00

especially when you compare it to other

play11:01

health-related degrees not that great

play11:04

and so for that reason i'm going to go

play11:05

ahead and put it into c-tier next one on

play11:08

the list is going to be an optometrist

play11:10

and they would get a doctor of optometry

play11:13

degree which is od this is a doctorate

play11:16

degree that is usually going to take

play11:17

somewhere between six to eight years

play11:19

total the numbers for this one are

play11:21

pretty good but i've actually been doing

play11:24

a lot of research on this lately and

play11:26

because of the fact that people are

play11:28

spending so much time uh right in front

play11:30

of a computer screen uh basically what's

play11:33

happening is people's vision is getting

play11:36

worse like much faster because of the

play11:38

fact that people are spending so much

play11:39

time watching tv being in front of

play11:41

computer screens their vision is rapidly

play11:44

deteriorating so last year i think i

play11:45

ranked this one a little bit lower but

play11:48

actually i'm much more bullish on this

play11:50

degree now after doing this research i

play11:52

think the statistics are pretty good

play11:54

this time but i think they're going to

play11:56

be much better five to ten years from

play11:58

now so for that reason i'm going to go

play12:00

ahead and put optometrist into a tier

play12:03

next one on the list is going to be

play12:04

pharmacist this is a pharmd degree this

play12:07

is a doctor of pharmacy to the degree

play12:09

that i got now pharmacists have some of

play12:11

the highest pays out of the entire list

play12:14

i think it's maybe number three or

play12:16

number four out of all the ones on this

play12:17

list because of the fact that the

play12:19

regulation bodies on pharmacy schools

play12:22

are just letting schools pop up left and

play12:24

right and churn pharmacists out you know

play12:27

graduating classes of 150 or more in

play12:29

many cases pharmacy has begun to get

play12:32

saturated now there are certain things

play12:34

that are happening in the pharmacy world

play12:36

like provider status

play12:38

this would open up a ridiculous amount

play12:40

of jobs if this gets passed and then on

play12:42

the other hand many people think that

play12:43

the pharmacy regulation boards are going

play12:45

to crack down on the schools very

play12:47

similar to what medical schools did so

play12:50

there's a lot of uncertainty in the

play12:51

future in terms of what is going to

play12:52

happen in the pharmacy career but with

play12:55

that being said it is still very high

play12:57

paying

play12:58

and for that reason i'm going to go

play12:59

ahead and put this one into high b tier

play13:02

status next one on the list is going to

play13:04

be physician assistant now known as

play13:06

physician associate and this is one that

play13:09

is probably my favorite on the entire

play13:12

list they make really good money they

play13:14

have incredible demand you can prescribe

play13:17

and diagnose under the supervision of a

play13:20

doctor one of those careers that has

play13:21

very high job satisfaction as well a

play13:24

physician associate fantastic maybe the

play13:27

best on this entire list i'm going to go

play13:29

ahead and put it into ester next one on

play13:32

the list is going to be radiation

play13:33

therapists this is kind of an associate

play13:35

level degree it would usually take about

play13:38

three years or so and the money here is

play13:40

incredible a lot of the time they're

play13:42

gonna be making well over eighty

play13:43

thousand dollars a year the demand for

play13:45

this one is also pretty decent so for

play13:48

that reason i'm going to go ahead and

play13:49

put this one into

play13:51

a tier next one on the list is going to

play13:53

be a radiologic or mri technologist now

play13:56

this is one where the numbers really

play13:58

don't pop off the board at you but it's

play14:00

also not horrible so for that reason i'm

play14:02

going to go ahead and put it into c tier

play14:05

in other videos i go much more in depth

play14:07

play14:09

definitely check those out but if you
