Hello! For the past few years, I pursued a health professions career but was unsuccessful, then I had to put everything on hold to care for a very ill family member. Now I'd like to start in the administrative field. I have a background in two disciplines of healthcare and don't know where to start. Would my career goals be better staying in healthcare or would other fields be more fruitful?

If you want to pursue a career in healthcare, you should do that. But if you're not necessarily devoted to that, you might as well broaden your job search. There are any number of companies that hire people for administrative work, so there's no reason to limit yourself to one sector.

helpful

Are there any fields you'd recommend for administrative work outside of healthcare? Or are there any certifications or courses that you think are valuable to have in this line of work?
