Fulling My Passion

Published

Hello everyone,

This post might seem a little unusual.

I'm a twenty-three year old business/engineer. I'm an avid entrepreneur and love helping the needy/sick. I spend a lot of time working with non-profit organization, coordinating events, etc, etc.

Why I'm writing:

I'm want to one day full-fill my passion, helping the sick. However, entering the medical filed as a RN or Doctor is out of the question, due to a very light stomach when it comes to blood. I would have loved to follow in my mother's footsteps as a Cardiologist, but maybe God had other intentions. (Hence the light stomach)

So, I come to you for help. I need a brain storm session in the medical industry; I want to put my abilities (i.e. Savvy engineering/entrepreneurial skills) to work. Any suggestion, on creating a company either in designing medical devices or some type of program to help the sick?

I would like to fully step down from what I'm doing and actually serve some purpose in this world. But I can't devote my life to non-profit organizations, if and when I get married and have children I'll need to support them. I'm open to any suggestion.

Thanks, God bless,

-Jason.

If you were to "Redesign" a product in the hospital what would it be and why?

If you had to come up with a new product that could better your work performance what would it be?

if i knew the answer to either of those questions, i'd probably be pitching my design ideas to someone who had the $$ to back them up so i could retire in style.

You are not unique in your desire to help people but have talents outside of medicine. This board is filled with former Engineers. However, I left IT for Social Work then moved into Health Care Administration and never looked back.

I agree with Tweety. Not only are there paid positions within not-for-profit because not all not-for-profit organizations are charitable, there is usually an IT section within the organization where individuals are paid very well!!! If you do not want to work for one of those but want to be a vendor, then do some market research within your community to see what you have to offer vs. demand. Just some thoughts. :twocents:
