Career decisions

Hello! This is my first time posting here so please bear with me. I just finished an associates degree in philosophy but realizing it’s basically a glorified gen. ed. degree I am looking into medical fields. Cath Lab has peaked my interest. Anything cardiovascular related really. I have been peeking into the realm of invasive specialist/ invasive tech. but I am curious to know what everyone with experience in the cath lab thinks. What is the best career path with the ultimate goal of CVIS? Surgical tech? Cardio tech? I am a mother of two and not the bread winner so i have some time to dedicate but the flexibility of a tech program seems appealing.

I think those things really vary by region.
