Call a local junior college or university & ask to talk to a career counselor. Ask them about the educational requirements and the cost, as well as what the job market is like.
I am an RN. If I had to choose a different career, I would school in physical therapy. Great money and job opportunity. But if you prefer Respiratory Therapy, the job market is not quite as lucrative, but it can be rewarding. Glad to see you persue a career with longivity in mind. The elderly are living longer & longer due to improved medical technology. Those who choose a career that cater to their needs, will do well. Good luck!

Yes, they could do the job, but the medical field has specific requirements for each job so that every person has expertise in their field. If doctors and nurses handled everything, they would have too much to remember, and would make more mistakes. I don't know where you are, but in Tennessee, the demand for respiratory therapists is quite high due to the amount of people that smoke, have chronic allergies, and the newborn babies that are born with respiratory problems. Just check with the human resources department at your area hospitals. If you're willing to relocate, I can get you some numbers for some hospitals around here that may positions open.

Excellent !! There is a big demand. My mom is an RN and was
in Resp. She was head nurse, so she knew everything that was
going on. It is in high demand. You'll never be out of a job.
