  For a thorough review of health care positions, outlook, requirements, etc, you should take a look at U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics Career Guide to Industries Healthcare Industry - http://www.bls.gov/oco/cg/cgs035.htm As the largest industry in 2004, health care provided 13.5 million jobs—13.1 million jobs for wage and salary workers and about 411,000 jobs for the self-employed. 8 out of 20 occupations projected to grow the fastest are in health care. More new wage and salary jobs—about 19 percent, or 3.6 million—created between 2004 and 2014 will be in health care than in any other industry. Most workers have jobs that require less than 4 years of college education, but health diagnosing and treating practitioners are among the most educated workers.
