What should I major in for good paying Allied Health career?

We Answered:

If you can get on a waiting list now, do so. If not, get your AA that can transfer to DMS. Talk to a counselor. Make sure you are strong in Math, because that is a required field. Also, don't get discouraged, it is a challenging field but rewarding. Good luck

Eduardo Said:

im wondering what should i do???? about health care career?

We Answered:

Recommend you try something other than nursing. The nursing field will soon be saturated and earnings will decrease. Your license will be on the line every day as hospitals and clinics cut make cutbacks to economize. Your stress level will be so high it will be difficult to maintain relationships. Your health will suffer. You will have to scrimp and save and retire early because your body will not tolerate the high demands of the job physically and emotionally for decades to come. Competition for your job will be fierce in an already very competitive atmosphere. You will be expected to be near perfection in every way. If you do not love giving to others without stopping to eat, drink or use the bathroom, then health care is not for you and you will hate it and die young.
