I dropped out of college with 30 hours to go, worked a job in construction that was more or less a go-for job and I wasn't very good at it. I had a friend who did EEGs and needed another tech. I worked at $30/hr doing EEGs. Studied my ass off and got registered, studied more and got a second registry. That enabled me to make $48/hr which is my starting pay adjusted for inflation. Long story short, I should have gone into computer science or finance and been rich. Neurodiagnostics is rewarding in it's own way, but there is better money out there that isn't going to make you work your ass off and claw your way back to where you started.
Ever thought about making short 2-4 minute Youtube videos answering questions about the day to day life of a EEG technician, how to get your foot in the door for EEG, where to start, is it a good fit for you (etc.)? You'd be banking on your authority that you've gained over the years of doing work as a EEG. Either people are curious for fun or for a more purposeful reason to watch said content. Either way, it's worth look into imo.
There's a guy that has put his journey up on LinkedIn, I'm also not much of a public speaker.
