Are marketing jobs boring?

Marketing Jobs in the Healthcare Field?

• Hi, I would love a job in the marketing field, but I do know that those types of jobs (gen. marketing, advertising, graphic design) are the first jobs to get cut. I thought about perhaps exploring marketing within the healthcare field (since it's recession proof). Do you know of any such jobs? I'm not asking for actual job listings (I'm only a senior in HS) however I am curious if there are job titles in the healthcare field that encompass marketing or anything creative. Thank you.

• Answer:

  There are absolutely marketing jobs in the health care field. Like any business, hospitals need clients (patients). To get patients, hospitals market themselves. If you develop a strong marketing skill set (I recommend weighting it to the internet side of marketing) you'll be able to transfer your skills across industries (whether it's health care, automotive, etc.). Good luck.
