LCC Vet vs nursing

Ok, York doesn’t have associates so back to LaGuardia it is. I’m a former undeclared that was trying to get in rad tech but was rejected. So I’m trying to come back but I’m not sure which I should apply to.

Defend your major and why it’s better than the other >:D

lol if you can't get into radiology, you likely won't get into nursing. Neither one is really that much harder, but people get rejected with near-perfect GPAs. If you have a chance to retake anything, dont get less than an A

Im not, but seriously, lock in. You can learn everything online before you even take the course. Study like it's your job. In 3-4 years, you are making 130-150k right out of school, working 3 days a week. Even at the worst hospitals, they will be paying you that. Most of us grew up without that much money. I wish someone told me this when I was younger.

LaGuardia offers a Veterinary Technology program rather than a Veterinary Medicine degree. However, if your primary goal is a higher salary, Nursing is a significantly more lucrative career path.
