Ok.  So I am currently in school to recieve an associate's degree in health administration.  I always knew that I wanted to work in the health and medicine field, but I am not sure of the type of job I will be able to get with this degree.  Is there something out there that I can do with just that degree or will Ihave to get another or a bachelor's before I get a job in this field?


 


Someone please help me.

I can't speak to health care administration per-say, but what I can tell you goes accross the board when it comes to employment and education.  That is simply that the more education you have the more employable you become, and the more you will be paid, but that is never a reason to doubt yourself.  Getting a job is more about how impressive you are to an employer than your exact level of education.  If you have a good resume, and you have good self presentation, and you're not afraid or unwilling to pound the pavement untill you find that open door, then you will find a job.


That said, I always encourage those who are thinking about more education to seek it, because if you are thinking about it, chances are it's something you want for yourself anyway.


Good luck with everything.

Thank you for your advice.  I do plan to continue with college to earn my bachelor's degree, but I need a job in this field long before then.  I have a daughter that I have to support.  Does anyone else have any advice???
