Hello! I've been kicking around the idea of a career in healthcare, mostly because right now I have absolutely no direction (working as a file clerk) and because I like to help people (love customer service, hate sales). The problem is, there are so many fields in healthcare I have no idea even where to start. I'm limited by a few things: I'm technically able, so I'm leaning towards one of the technician jobs (MRI, X-Ray) more so than nursing, though that's not out completely. I live in San Diego and must stay here (girlfriend going to school here). I do not want to spend more than two years in school before being able to work in the field. That doesn't mean I'm closed to the idea of more school later. I just can't bear the thought of doing office work for the next half decade. So, what kind of technician jobs are out there, what schools are in Southern Cal, what does the job market look like, and should I just start with going to school for LVN before trying to move on and up so I can start working sooner?
