When you ask people with health careers about their jobs, there is one word used by most to describe their work. "Rewarding." You might think these are people who have always known they wanted to be a doctor, or a nurse. What's interesting, though, is that many healthcare professionals are working in careers they had never even heard of in high school, and can't imagine doing anything else.
Healthcare offers a diverse range of career opportunities. Training requirements range from less than a year up to 6-14 years for an advanced medical degree. Depending on the profession you choose, the number of potential work settings is almost unlimited. And because the need is widespread, most careers give you considerable freedom to choose where you want to live and work.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, healthcare is the fastest growing segment of America's economy, providing over 14 million jobs. It is expected to provide 3 million new jobs by 2018 - more than any other industry. There is an especially great need for health professionals in rural areas, and Nebraska is no exception.
