The prospects for health care employment over the next 10 years are excellent in every sense of the word. On one hand, health care positions are expected to increase more than 20 percent across all professions. In fact, the healthcare industry is one of the very few industries that continue to hire more and more workers when other industries have been handing out pink slips to more and more of its manpower, no thanks to the effects of the global recession.

On the other hand, the wide variety of health care jobs means that there is a job for just about every individual with different backgrounds in education, training and work experience. You can take the high-paying jobs of physicians and nurses or you can take the decent pays of nursing aides and medical assistants, each health care career offering its own fair share of challenges and rewards.

Get Ready



Before you can apply for the booming growth in health care vacancies, you must take the necessary steps to become qualified for them in the first place. Obviously, the education, training and work experience required for each job will significantly differ so much so that physicians must spend at least 10 years in post-secondary education to become licensed in a field of specialization while nursing aides will only spend about a year to get their certifications.

There is also the matter of personal traits. Generally speaking, jobs related to health care employment can be very stressful especially in situations where an individual life hangs in the balance. You may have seen the realistic depictions of life in a hospital as seen in popular television shows like House and Grey's Anatomy and, hence, acquired a sense of the demands, rigors and stresses of health care jobs.

You have to develop personality traits like quick thinking on your feet, ability to deal with all kinds of people, and excellent attention to details, to name a few. This does not include the personal characteristics that must be developed while getting your degree or certification, as the case may be.

Depending on the health care career, you will be required to go through years of schooling and training as well as numerous examinations for your license or certification. As is the case with other industries, the general rule in health care positions is that the higher the rank and pay, the more time spent on education and training as well as in acquiring relevant work experience.

Get Acquainted

Just to get you acquainted with a few of the health care vacancies that are opening up much faster than jobs in other industries, here are the descriptions of jobs:

* Physicians - This is one of the highest ranking positions in health care employment and for good reasons, too. Not only are doctors one of the most trusted professionals in all occupations but physicians also perform highly demanding responsibilities that often involves playing God. Or at least, saving lives with the use of modern medical science. With their great responsibilities also come great benefits in both the financial sense on annual salaries in the median range of $186,044 and the psychic sense.
* Nurses - Amongst all the health care jobs, nursing positions are the most in-demand. Arguably, nurses are the physician's most important ally in the delivery of excellent medical care along with the other health professionals like the pharmacist. You can also engage in one area of specialization to boost your opportunities for securing the best health care positions in the field of nursing.

* Surgical Technologists - Yet another excellent health care career requiring less of your time, effort and money is the job of a surgical technologist. You will be required to assist surgeons, anesthesiologists and nurses during operations, which means that specialized skills are also required. You should acquire a certification in order to be competitive, which will be rewarded with a well-paying job worth at least $50,000 per year.

* Nursing Aides - Your job will involve caring for the patients in a more direct manner. You will help patients dress, eat and take a bath as well as take their vital health signs in either a clinical or hospital setting although nursing homes are the best places to find a job as a nursing aide.
