I recently found out that a kid I used to babysit about 15 years ago, when I was a young teen myself, is now working toward a radiography degree.  I actually know a lot of people who work or study in the health care industry — my sister-in-law and mother-in-law, friends, and acquaintances.  It’s pretty obviously a thriving industry and a great source of jobs.

There are many schools that offer training for health care careers.  Sanford Brown is especially well known in the industry.  The Sanford Brown College Milwaukee campus offers associate’s programs such as cardiovascular sonography, diagnostic medical sonography, and radiography.  Likewise, the Sanford Brown Institute Atlanta campus offers programs in billing and coding (a specialization in the industry and a good source of jobs), cardiovascular technology, and medical assisting.

If you’re looking for health career training, Florida is another option.  The Sanford Brown campus in Fort Lauderdale also offers programs in billing and coding, surgical technology, medical assisting, dental assisting, and pharmaceutical positions.

My in-laws and friends all seem to be doing pretty well in their careers, and haven’t been affected at all by the shortage of jobs or the recession.  It really looks like a great field to be in!
