Medical Field Background

The medical field is a wide range of careers with various schooling education qualifications needed. Annual income is also widely ranged depending on the career of interest. The great thing about preceding with a job in the medical field is that those jobs will always be needed. There is never not a need for healthcare workers. Some reasoning behind the constant need of healthcare employees is due to the constant growing population, the average life expectancy increases and new and old continuing illnesses.

Along with the various schooling qualifications there are also many different opportunities for work locations. As a healthcare provider you are not just set to only working in a hospital facility but rather a private office or clinic. 

Working in a hospital can have a lot of pros and cons just like working in any location. Most times you can expect to receive better pay and benefits from working at a hospital facility. A major con is maybe not dealing with the ideal crowd of patients. 

Private offices are a great option for those who do not have the patience for the constant unscheduled influx of patients that a hospital can have. It is also a plus to those who rather have a more nine to five work schedule. Although in private offices you may not be guaranteed as great of pay or benefits. 

Clinics are a mix of both a hospital and private office. In a clinic you can expect non-appointment visits but most times not of people in dire need. Clinics most times are not open twenty four hours seven days a week like a hospital. The con with working in a clinic is the pay is not as you could expect with hospital employment.
