Cardiac perfusionist opening locally.

That ain't bad money...

So that the equivalent of a nurse practitioner?

Pretty great money - $250K+ assuming standard working hours. (No overtime - dunno if that even applies)

Not for the faint of heart though

I'd give it a go for that much cash. How hard can it be?

Don't be so negative. It could be one long bout of hilarity, until the police arrive at least.

Full-time.

Hey, I qualified! I even had 54 more hours of science courses than needed. Of course, those were back when we were writing down ReDox equations with a stone tablet, hammer and chisel. Hate to know I even had to get 25% of an inorganic test right nowadays...
