Growing up working on her parents' farm in upstate New York, Chabely Rodriguez always wanted more for herself. She wanted to go into medicine but was concerned of the high costs of medical school. Then she learned about becoming an anesthesiologist assistant, which only requires a master's degree. She's now making more than $200,000 a year in the profession and has paid off all her student loans. She hopes to work fewer hours in the next few years and devote more time to traveling the world.
