I will soon be receiving a biology degree with a minor in chemistry. I plan on going to DO school eventually but first I would like to take a few years off, earn as much money as possible during that span, and get some experience under my belt. My top choices in the job market are EKG technician, MRI technician, radiology technician, or a licensed practical nurse (LPN). I know all of them require certifications and some training programs, but I also know with a biology degree I will be able to take an accelerated course in many cases. So basically my questions are:

1) what my next step should be
2) What are the quickest/most efficient way to receive a certification/necessary training for each of the positions above?

Also if you would recommend taking another path instead of the ones listed above that would also be nice! I know this is a lot to ask but it would be very appreciated, thank you.

Have u ruled out EMT/Paramedic? There's also 1 year masters in Clinical Laboratory Science which will allow you to get a job as a Medical Technologist, usually starts out in $22-25 range depending on where you are. Some of these programs can be a little costly and you might have to move. I would paramedic over LPN but they are pretty much comparable in length of time ot takes. LPN is not bad tho imo.
