My wife and I both chose healthcare careers because we truly feel our basic human fundamental responsibility is to try and leave the world a better place and to help those less fortunate along the way. We are reaching the end of our careeres and never for a day have we regretted our career choice. It has been rewarding beyond description.
Why do I post this, you ask? Perhaps it will help young people struggling with the age old question: what do I want to do with my life? If you are a compassionate, giving person, I can assure you a career in healthcare will answer that question and fulfill your life.
You may not make a lot of money, compared to your friends who go into business or finance or whatever, and you will probably never be able to afford a place on Lake Winni, but you will be happy and your priorities will be in check. We have a 17' boat that we trailer up to the lake on weekdays in the summer and finding a nice protected secluded place to throw out the anchor on the lee side of an island is the most relaxing thing on earth, and it won't cost you a lot of money!
Anyway, parents of kids who are struggling with that question of what to do with my life may want to show them this......
