New SDN Article! Occupational Therapists: An Overview
I'd be happy to go back in time to 18-- relive college and pick something different ( knowing the market etc now). Tho I do like my job a great deal now.
I'd take 87 cents, a pack of gum, and a paper clip.
No, I'm just kidding. Big-box retail wants you to sell your soul for a lot less these days though...

depends.
Do I have to fall back on my BA degree? if so, thinking it would have to be 1 million (the interest I make on it + what I would make with my old degree to make up the difference.)
If I could go back in time and change professions? Give me 500k and I will get my Phd and do research at a big university

Fortunately, I actually enjoy my job, and could only envision doing one other thing. However, that other thing would represent a significant salary cut.
(Current salary x years until retirement) + (Engineering school tuition x 3 years) - (anticipated engineer salary x [years until retirement - 3 years]) = $2.45 million
Looks like I am staying put.

well my "dream job" would be owning a beach bar in Anguilla, but still having enough money to fly back to the US whenever I wanted. So I guess I would need about 5-10 million for that and keep my standard of living.
the cost of tuition/living expenses during engie school, cost to get my pharmd, and lost earning potential during school.
Honestly I'd probably do it for less though...just the cost of school and 1/2 the earnings lost during school.

I would trade it in for 500 million, but just because it would be super expensive to replace the satisfaction that the career brings.
10 million...
Anybody who is willing to trade their degree for 200k, 500k, or a mil is an idiot, unless they can not find a job or is a loser. 200k- a million is not worth 6 years of my life, and the income that I made after.
I already made a million from my degree..., while my friends are at half that.
Time are tough but without a pharmD, we will generally be doing a lot worst...
And I have a lot of friends who went to medical school or in finance. They are generally equal at income to me but have the potential to make a lot more in the near future. However they sacrifice their youth for that. I was able to enjoy my 20's popping bottles in Vegas and driving nice cars.
PharmG!

I would not trade in my degree. Maybe if pharmacist became as obsolete as elevator operators, then I might consider it. Otherwise, I still think it is a great career & a great field, and far more promising then many other job fields.
