Health care occupation?


i am a 40 year old male with a high school education wishing to make a career change into healthcare.(i want to work in a hospital) wishing to make around 40k yr.with about 1 year or less training is there anything anyone can suggest...i do not wish to be a nurse.. wanting a career working with some sort of equipment or device...can anyone suggest anything ?

there is a hig need for lab techs, and its a high paying and great job to get into. You could work in a hospital amung the nurses and doctors, taking blood, using the equipment that is used to analyse it...its a good possibilty for you. Or there's x-ray techs if you want to go further and really get into using the equipment, but its a very hard program and a lot to be learned....of course so is a lab tech but its more people oriented than machine oriented. Less anatomy than an x-ray tech would need.

x-ray technician

its going to take more than 1 year

You could be an x-ray tech but that takes two years. I don't know of anyting one year that works with equipment.

If you are not willing to invest in more than a year of training or schooling, you will not get the pay you want.

Possibly Respiratory Therapist....although I am not sure how long the schooling is for that.

I work in the Medical Field and here are some suggestions for you but I don't know what the salary's are and you will probably need some college classes......

X-ray Tech
Surgical Tech
Phelebotomist
Security
OB Tech
ER Tech

Respiratory Therapist at a community college still takes 2 years. Phlebotomist (lab tech) takes one year Check out this site:
