What is a good job in the medical field?

Question

My interests have always been in the medical field. i cannot imagine having a job in another field they all seem like they would bore me. I always wanted to be a vet but after doing some research i found out that its harder to become a vet than a doctor so that might be out of the question even though it is what i have always wanted to become. I am also interested in becoming an orthopedic and specialize in spine surgery i'm not sure how possible this is. My dad wants me to become a physician assistant like himself but he works literally almost all day and i don't know if i want to work 15 hours a day. Let me get to the point. I want to no of a good amount of medical jobs that are practical and rewarding.

Answer 1

physician assistant is good  and you can work only a few days a week unlike your dad you can look at this and more jobs in the medical field at PureMedicalJobs.com

Answer 2

Your dad should be able to give you all kinds of jobs if he thinks about it!. (and BTW/ an orthopedist {MD} will probably work as much or more as your dad!).  But there are many many medical jobs: med tech (clinical lab scientist), respiratory care practitioner, CT scan, MRI, Xray, techs & sonogram, occupational therapist, physical therapist (you might like that and specialize in orthopedic rehab), surgical tech, autopsy assistant, histo tech, cytologist, play therapist, speech pathologist, pharmacy, nursing, for just a start.  You should be able to find something that fits into your plans!

Answer 3

I know just what you mean. In my family most of us are in the health care field or in the armed services. I live in Raleigh, NC and I'm a CNA II, and my license in phlebotomy tech, dialysis tech and a medication tech. And I take classes  at night for my RN. There are many  great medical jobs the pay well. Good Luck
