Hey guys I'm a senior in high school who has been pretty set on becoming a Nurse Anesthetist but I'm having second thoughts. I'm just thinking that since it is going to be a doctorate degree by the time I'm in CRNA school that I should just do pre-med or pre-dental rather than nursing. There are a few things that are important to me, first being convenience. I don't want to be a MD if I'm gonna have to work 50-60+ hours a week, which leads to the next thing that I don't want to be unable to have a family or spend time with my family because my life is so consumed with school/work. I don't know how hard CRNA school is compared to Med or dental school, so I'd also appreciate any insight into that. Also I'm concerned about job security, as I've heard many say that CRNA is a bubble thats going to burst because too many people are gonna try and hop onto a 9-5 150k job and it won't last. I've heard the other side of the coin where people say that CRNA's are gonna end up taking most Anesthesiologist jobs. I've briefly looked into the dental field and have seen a few endodontists who own their own practice and make over 1M a year working 4 days a week, so if anyone could give me an insight into easy high-paying dental jobs I'd appreciate it.
