"Non-Med School Graduate Earns $210K Annually at Hospital"

Chabely Rodriguez, a 28-year-old certified anesthesiologist assistant, earns over $210,000 a year in Tampa, Florida, without having gone to medical school. Growing up on a farm and working at farmers markets, Rodriguez pursued her passion for chemistry and anesthesia, eventually becoming a CAA. Though she had to take out loans for her master's degree, she paid off her six-figure debt in about two years by saving and taking advantage of the federal student loan forbearance during the pandemic. Rodriguez continues to save around 50% of her income, prioritizing travel and experiences while keeping her living costs low. She plans to slow down in the future to focus on her hobbies and content creation.
