 (ARA) - The health care industry will create more than 3 million new jobs over the next 8 years. Will one of those jobs be yours?
In the midst of a recession and with people being laid off all around us, the health care industry continues to grow and offer plenty of opportunity for job seekers.
The health care industry workforce grew last year and is expected to continue to add jobs despite the country's economic situation, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. As large segments of the population reach retirement age and beyond, demand for health care increases. People need medical care no matter what the state of the economy.
When you think of health care careers, you may picture doctors and nurses, but the health care industry employs more than 14 million people in a variety of areas, including:
* Labs and research facilities
* Medical offices
* Home health care
* Outpatient care facilities
Many of these jobs require 4 years of college or less, but if direct patient care is your goal, you will need an advanced degree or certification. Students with a health care degree can work in doctors' and dentists' offices, labs, hospitals and in the nursing and residential health fields.
Nursing, in particular, is a field in very high demand. Hundreds of thousands of nurses are expected to retire over the next 10 years, creating a shortage of qualified nursing professionals in hospitals and clinics. If you're interested in becoming a nurse, you'll need a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, a 4-year degree that prepares nurses for graduate level education.
If you're looking for a recession-proof career in the health care industry, or would like to advance your health care career, visit YourDegree.com to find the campus-based or online education program that's right for you. Getting an advanced degree in the health care field paves the way for many years of career success.
