Health care degrees and health care careers are something I'm very familiar with since I'm a healthcare professional.

Healthcare related jobs are currently growing faster than any other type of profession according to BLS (even faster than tech related professions!).

There is a ton of opportunity here, but just because it's good as a whole doesn't mean there aren't a few bad apples.

In this video we will be talking about some of them, hope you enjoy!

Specialties are SO important. I went with respiratory therapy and once Covid hit I knew I made the right decision

[VeronicaYdalgo]

Your videos should be shown to students before they graduate in high school. Seriously. 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

"The masters is now the new bachelor's degree", I like that. It feels like that sometimes these days.

I have a healthcare administration degree from a 4 year university and was able to sit for my boards as a licensed nursing home administrator and currently trying to open up my own facility. I’m glad I got this degree because it is opportunity for you in the healthcare field, and I can also teach at a community college as a adjunct professor! So it just depends how far you go with it.

Listen to him regarding a psychology degree...I ended up spending over 100k to attend grad school just to qualify for a 42k job...I am now trying to figure out how to change careers.

Is everyone else watch his videos hoping and praying their heavily invested time and money major don’t make the “worst of” list? (Health informatics Major here)

I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Healthcare Administration, my Master of Science in Health Administration, and my Doctor of Health Administration with a specialization in Health Care Leadership. I have been able to maintain a career in the 6 figure salary range. I have taken and passed 2 Federal Exams and State exams to earn my LNHA and I hold a Fellow with the American College of Health Care Administrators. I am a member of the American College of Healthcare Executives. I think this degree is an important degree and it saddens me to hear you speak of this degree as a non-essential or unimportant degree in the healthcare field.

I'm honestly so surprised your videos don't have thousands upon thousands of views; they're so informative! Thanks for always being such a great resource!!

I have a masters in mental health counseling and i make about 120k a year but i DEFINITELY agree with this guy. I got very lucky i now see that im in the field. And i paid off my student loans this year but i got tons of scholarshils for undergrad and grad and went to a cheap school so i got out with only about 22k in student loans

30 years ago while I was getting my bachelors degree in psychology a teacher said this to our classroom “if you only get a bachelors degree, you will be qualified to be in charge of a K-Mart.” .

[davidduffy]

As a senior about to get his Psychology degree I 100% agree with you in this video. Psychology is an amazing field of study buy you have to go into it with open eyes. I have known that I will be going to grad school to get my PhD from the first day. It is why I worked my ass off in my classes to maintain a 3.92 gpa and made myself as desirable as possible for graduate school programs. I know too many people who just went into psychology because they thought it would be "easy" .

[philipmalone]

Here's an idea for those interested in Mental Health. Become an RN and specialize in Psychiatry in a hospital that will pay for you to get your Masters. Obtain your Masters as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. You scope of practice is pretty much the same as a Psychiatrist, and with some additional training become certified in the therapeutic modality of your choice (also paid for by your employer) and you can provide psychotherapy as does a psychologist. It's rewarding both personally and financially which is rare today. You will not be paid as much as an MD but much more than a PhD or Social Worker, and will have absolutely NO student loan debt except the initial investment in your Bachelors Degree in Nursing (BSN). A Psychiatric NP is also a degree that travels well and has unlimited practice possibilities.

the youtube algorithm is killing this channel .

As an RN I’m making $40, 000/month right now due to crisis pay. It won’t last forever and it’s a hard job day-in and day-out, but the pay is crazy.

[SilentJnation]

Is there a sleeping degree? Like getting paid for hours slept.

As a dental assisting graduate, I knew to steer clear of anything mental heatlh, fitness, nutrition related things. The healthcare degrees I've been looking are technician/technologist type jobs in radiology, cardiology, surgical, phlebotomy, pharmacy, etc. which seem to have a brighter outlook.

[jadeng]

If people want to choose a job in the medical field, I think stress level should be considered right after the financial aspect. Not anyone can work with such a kind of stress.

[doseoftos]

Unfortunately in healthcare, most careers require a masters degree. Thats not to say that these degrees are useless, its just that they require you to plan to get a Master's as well. A Bachelor's isn't really valuable in healthcare.
