As we go about our day to day living, we may sometimes stop and think about the ‘what ifs’ in our life. For example, how would my life be different if I’d gone directly to college right out of high school? I wonder where I’d be working and what I’d be doing. But, what if you didn’t attend college right out of high school or shortly thereafter? Let’s say that you started a family in your early 20s and didn’t have the opportunity to seek employment, for whatever reason. Then, at the time when your life slowed down and you were ready to re-discover yourself, you found that the industry had changed.
The world changed, but you didn’t change with it. Don’t despair; the one thing that is on your side is time. The one constant that you have in your favor is that fact that everyday a group of BABY BOOMERS is reaching the age where things just don’t work as well as it use to. As a result, the health care industry is booming. Now you may be thinking that you’ll have to go back to school for the next 8 – 12 years, but you don’t!
I’m going to let you in on something that you may or may not be aware of. There is a plethora of health care opportunities out there for you to select from that will get you into the job market in less than a year. These opportunities allow you to work directly with patients or behind the scenes.
If you have what you would consider a dead-end job and you’re looking for a way out, a career in healthcare may be the perfect change. Colleges offer night and weekend classes perfect for busy individuals. Remember that you have options, so please take a look at your life and determine where you’d like to go from here.
