Employment/Education

Hello, new member here. I am currently employed as a Respiratory Therapist (12 yrs) in a good size hospital in the Bay Area, CA. My job is very physically demanding and I work long days and 12 hour shifts. I am looking down the road to make a switch to IT as I can’t see myself doing patient care the rest of my life. I have always been interested in computers and studied about them quite a bit in HS. My plan is to attend a junior college in my area and obtain an A.S. degree in IT w/network emphasis. I would like to hear from people on pros/cons of the job/industry, pay, job prospects. It would be great to hear from people in the healthcare industry as thats where I want to work. Thank you
