Health Care & Nursing

Health Care is one of the biggest industries in our nation—over 14 million people are currently employed in this field. At the same time, healthcare is also one of the most in-demand industries for new employment. If you have a heart for helping others and brain for details, then check out some possible careers in health care!

Tending to the sick is one of the most noble acts of society. Each year over 36 million people are admitted to a U.S. hospital. That’s a lot of people who need care! The network of medical providers is wide. It includes doctors, nurses, surgeons, and anesthesiologists. But it also covers roles like pharmacy techs, speech pathologists, medical transcriptionists, and more.

If medical work makes you queasy, you can still find a career in the administrative side of the field. All that to say, if you’re ready to give your heart and brains (not literally of course!) to healthcare, then health care will give back!
