I have a friend who is an echo tech. She does like ultrasound.?

Question

So since she got this position she makes like 50k, and al she did was tech school. So now she got a new car and thats all she talks about and material objects. I am really fed up because I am still in RN school and working very hard but broke. I feel we dont have much in common anymore, she acts like she is better than me because of being an "tech" and working w/ doctors.

Answer 1

I thought that was a pretty high pay also but it seems to be correct.

As to your friend, she is excited that she is finally making some money. I know it seems hard if that is all she wants to talk about. But, maybe you should just try to be happy for her?

Answer 2

maybe she is pulling your leg on how much she is making.
do you think a tech could make that much alot of doctors would just take TECH school.
new car, so what it is called a loan. honestly do you think she paid cash for it. just come right out and tell her you fell she is putting you down, if she is a true friend she will quit. she could just have a swollen head
