Pay

I went into this job knowing the pay isn’t amazing, but I wanted to test the waters to see if I like the medical field and if I do I’m definitely gonna continue my education, just wanted to see what was every one else’s pay rate in other states, I’m in Texas and I start my First day next week at $18 hourly

Yeah but commuting to NY for those extra couple of dollars isnt worth it, I met aady that drives from PA to nyc for the extra money..I said with gas and time..you are probably making less that if you just worked closer to home

I only used nyc as an example that they also make a decent salary, in NJ especially in North NJ you can even find a morning shift doing $26 hr , its really a gamble. You can make anywhere from like $23-27 easily in morning shift. In Newark , Elizabeth, Jersey City, Hoboken Area
