medical field jobs with less schooling
I want to have a job in the medical field but I can’t be in school too long, not enough money. I was thinking pharmacist or researcher or oncologist or art therapist, is there anything along those lines that can take around 6 years or less to be up and working, done with school and making enough money to pay back/live? I am a senior in high school

Yes there are many choices but it also depends what degree you want to strive for. I suggest going to a community college 1st and see what to do there. If you need help just talk to a school counclor. They should help you.
Hope I helped.

Of the choices you named about the only one you named that would take more than 6 years is Oncologist. To become an Oncologist would require 4 years of undergraduate school plus medical school and residency. All totaled that adds up to about 12 years or more. The others should be able to be accomplished with just a College degree.
I would suggest you talk to you High School College advisor about the fields you're interested in. Make sure you have the basic primary education to meet the standards of colleges offering those degrees. If you do not you may have to go to a community college for a year or two to make up what you are missing.
Money does not always have to be an object in obtaining a degree in your field of choice. There are scholarships that can be obtained as well as different grants that are available to worthy students. Then there are College loans available to make up any short falls there may be.
You can get this information from your college of choices financial assistance office. Don't let money be a limiting factor. Check out your options then decide what is best for you and your financial situation.
