Want a Health Career – No Needles & No Massaging?
Posted: March 23rd, 2010 | Author: admin | Filed under: masage supplies | Tags: career, health, Massaging, Needles, want | 1 Comment »I want a a career in the Health field, however I can’t stand the thought of poking people with needles or drawing blood or massaging almost nude bodies.
I want to Help people and Be IN the Medical, Health, and / or Wellness Field. Just as long as it doesn’t involve the above mentioned. (I Won’t get over that, please don’t tell me to and to try it, No Thank You).
Anyway, I have researched:
Holistic Health Practitioners
and other related Medical, Health and Wellness fields.
Maybe a Wellness Coach or something? I like to Consult. So maybe going toward that area? But how? Nutritionist? Health “fill in the blank” ? I have no idea what’s out there, I’ve tried to find things, but it is so hard to dig up what’s out there, and Hopefully in a growing or at least a Somewhat growing (need of) field / career.
Please help me, I need to change my career. And in a Shorter period of time. I can’t get into something that will take years and years, but I am willing to get into something where it starts out as one thing and I can get a job from it, and educate and train my self further in that field to gain more opportunities and money while I work IN that field (of course after a fair amount of training, at first).
You sound perfect for the career of Speech Language Pathologist. Communication is one of the most important traits that we have. Stroke, Cancer, Operation, and Mentally Ill patients can loose this trait instantly. These people depend on the professionals like speech pathologists to help them recover. You can work in schools, clinics, rehabilitation centers, pediatrics, neurology, geriatrics, the ICU (ventilator patients), research centers (researching alzheimers, huntingtons disease, and stroke treatments).
There are no needles (but you might have to look down a patients mouth, but thats dependant on the setting.)
There is no massaging (well, u might perform some type of throat massaging, or something, but the patients ARE fully clothed. lol)
It sounds perfect for you!!!
I am sorry, but you need a masters degree. The good news is that you can work as a speech pathology assistant with a bachelors degree in that field. You really need a bachelors degree for all of the careers you mentioned.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!! =)
