Even during the recession there was one sector which was still booming - healthcare industry is what we are talking about. The need for healthcare will always be there irrespective of anything.
'People who are working in this sector will experience a level of expanding opportunity that exceeds almost every other field in every other industry,' says an article in blog.livecareer.com
So what makes this particular sector grow?
There are several converging factors that help to explain the explosion in healthcare demand. First, a wave of medical professionals are approaching retirement.
The easier access to treatment as a result of insurance policies and other things is also bringing patients to the healthcare system which would have been otherwise closed, this has made new residential centres and outpatients clinic to open providing employment opportunities.
'Healthcare facilities are becoming more diverse– specific sites are opening that address everything from physical therapy to ambulatory surgery– but ownership of these facilities is converging into large complex individual entities. Again, these enormous hospital and care organisations need employees,' the article states.
There is no other profession which provides a number of expanding opportunities like the health sector.
Explaining the pay cheque that one might get in this field the article mentions,' Opportunities are abound for providers, technicians and support personnel in every corner of this industry. But if this is your only criteria, you may want to take a closer look. Salaries in this field vary widely depending on the position you choose, and while surgeons and nurse practitioners earn high starting salaries, pay cheques for home healthcare providers and resident assistants are some of the lowest in the filed.'
The sector as much as it provides opportunities is also difficult and demanding, it is best suited for someone who is committed, hard-working, empathetic and focused on the need of others.
As a guidance to those who want to venture in this field the article says ,'If you have what it takes to thrive in the world of healthcare delivery and support, now is the perfect time to start developing a long-term plan and laying a path that can help you reach your goals over the next three, five, and ten years.'
