So I have been doing resesrch and I'm noticing a trend of over saturation in some healthcare careers. The problem lies with the schools and how many they allow into their programs AND the trend for new 2 year or community colleges graduating more students than there are jobs (yearly!!) or the fact that many come from other countries wanting a healthcare career. Some grads have to take low paid jobs/ part time or even worse... Wait years to even find a job!
so what is the best career option for a new student now in 2017? If there's a career not likely to be over saturated or a trend towards the better please reply with your info...
the careers with those complaints are:
UltraSound(sonography)
radiation technitions
Physical therapist
PTAssistant
Occupational therapy
OTAssistant
pharmacist
dental hygienist (using dental techs to clean for cheaper)
is nursing saturated or becoming saturated?
Am I wrong in my research???
I'm at a loss for what I should enter in to...
Does anyone have any advice for a person starting a college career in heal are and what career is the safest option for job security and least in saturation?
(On on another note, I'm hearing similar things from paralegals, graphic/web design and anyone in the liberal arts field other than teachers)
Here's why nursing will never be over-saturated. It objectively sucks. You stand up for 12 hours. You're accountable to everyone, all the time. If a physician screws up and you don't catch it, then it's your fault for not catching it. If you catch it and inform the physician, you're going to get a new rectal orifice from Dr. Happy. You see more poop than the guy that cleans the elephant house at the zoo. You hold your pee so long that your bladder cramps. On your best day, half of your census is taking their frustrations out on you. You see a patient die and are expected to finish your shift without flinching.
However you love it and wouldn't trade it for anything else in the world. There aren't many people who can say that.
