Four Great Reasons to Consider a Career in Healthcare

April 13, 2019 by Guest Contributor

With so many exciting, rewarding, and challenging jobs to choose from, it can be difficult to narrow things down to just one field you want to focus on. This is part of the reason why statistics show that the average person changes jobs 12 times in their life. Picking just one stream can limit your overall options. And since your interests, skills, and needs will change throughout your lifetime it can be smart to pick a field that offers a lot of variety, one that can evolve and grow with you, so that you can remain in that one field but change jobs along the way.

A career in healthcare can offer the kind of variety you’re after, as well as a number of other benefits and advantages. Here’s a look at four reasons to consider a career in healthcare.

The Industry is Growing

When you’re picking that perfect career path, it’s always good to keep an eye open for those that are experiencing growth and demand. The healthcare industry checks off both those boxes, especially as the large baby boomer population continues to age, requiring more medical attention. According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, the healthcare field is projected to grow by 18% between now and 2026. Not only is that good news for anyone eyeing the industry, but it’s also well above the national job growth average in general.

You can boost the number of jobs that are open to you by making sure that you get a healthcare-focused master’s degree such as these Boston MHA programs, which offer a Master of Healthcare Administration.

A Chance to Give Back and Make a Difference

If you’re the type that measures job happiness and success by how it makes you feel, then the healthcare industry again can check off all the boxes. Working in this field allows you to truly give back and make a real difference in people’s lives. It’s the kind of job you can take pride in.

There Is Flexibility with Your Work Hours

The healthcare industry is also great for those who want flexibility with work hours. Sure you will find plenty of jobs within the industry that will be Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm, but there is also a lot of shift work and even part-time hours if you prefer. These kinds of hours can work well for busy families where one parent wants to be home with the kids as much as possible, so flex hours and part-time hours can help.

Salaries Are on the Rise

Then there is the fact that salaries in the healthcare field are on the rise by an average of 17.8% since 2006. This is great news for anyone that is currently struggling with a lower paying job and is looking to make more money in a new field.

Plenty of Pros for Looking at the Healthcare Industry

This is just a small look at the many pros and advantages to pursuing a career in the healthcare industry, and why it may be a great option for your future.
