Do you want to pursue a career in healthcare but aren’t sure where to start? We got you.

The healthcare industry is MASSIVE, accounting for over 17% of the U.S.’s gross domestic product (GDP). It’s also the fastest-growing industry, with 1.9 million job openings projected each year up to 2034, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. 

But it can be hard to know what path to pursue when there are so many areas to choose from, especially when you're not sure if you can afford the years of schooling required for many of them.

You could explore different high-paying healthcare jobs, such as physician paths that require 8+ years of education and training, or nursing paths that pay six figures but only require 2 to 4 years of school. We found a nurse in our Salary Database with a Bachelor’s degree who makes $130,000 a year. 

Or you may want to explore paths in dentistry or optometry that require 1 to 3 years of schooling but still pay well. We interviewed a dental hygienist who makes $60 an hour (equivalent to around $120,000/year) and found another in our Salary Database making $134,000 a year with an Associate's degree, which typically takes 2 years.

Those aren’t all the possible medical career paths that exist, either, which is one of the reasons we put together this healthcare career quiz in the first place! There are 11 possible results to make sure we cover all the bases and find the best possible match for you. 😉
