I am looking to be on a defined career path, since I feel like I am stagnant right now.
Looking to know any kind of certiications/professions that are offered with college degree + extra training that would provide me with a good career. I am willing to get training/schooling, but I can not afford to be in school for years here.
How about a professional City-Data ambiguous question thread starter?
What is your Bachelors in now?
Do you have an particular desires?
Are you bilingual?
Are you pretty darn good at math?
Do you know any computer languages?
Are you comfortable working in the health care industry?
Would you work outdoors 80% of your time?
Would you be willing to travel 50% of your time?
Do you have a geographical preference to live?
Would you be willing to join the military and become an officer?

Thank you
Teaching, most health care careers like nurse, radiation therapist, lab, occupational, physical therapist.
What you could do is go to the college and ask to take a vocational aptitude test. There may be careers you never heard of or never considered that you should consider.
Do you have any particular desires? Just want an interesting career that i could make good $ in
Are you bilingual? No
Are you pretty darn good at math? math, yes. I have previously worked doing taxes and found it easy. Not so much at calculus, etc however
Do you know any computer languages? no
Are you comfortable working in the health care industry? yes, but i dont want to be cleaning up after a bathroom mishap, etc
Would you work outdoors 80% of your time? Yes, I would not mind this at all
Would you be willing to travel 50% of your time? Yes, I would love to do some traveling with my job. But 50% of traveling is my limit. Would not want to be gone from home for more then 50% of the time.
Do you have a geographical preference to live? Yes. In the south near a major metro area.
Would you be willing to join the military and become an officer? As a last resort I would. But otherwise, not interested[/quote]
With a degree in economics I'd be looking at jobs within a budget/finance department of a large healthcare system. That should meet all of your requirements as long as you are willing to work your way up.

Most health care professions don't involve that. Even nurses make the aids or housekeepers do the clean up jobs now. There is pharmacy, radiation therapy, physical and occupational therapy, lab, dietary and so on.
Plus the accounting and billing, registration departments. The IT department, medical records and many other departments.

Nurses do NOT necessarily make the aids (what aids?) or housekeepers (what housekeepers?) do the cleaning up. GOOD GRIEF! You clearly are not a nurse.
If I were doing it over again, I'd go into sonography.
You must be able to show some sales experience in your resume. This doesn't have to be work as an actual salesman, but work where you were able to successfully convince people to do things, for example, a health care worker who was able to convince a lot of people to get tested for HIV.
The bank provides a paid training period for you to get your licenses. HSBC, Chase, & Wachovia have been recruiting lately.

I agree nurses at the hospital I work at do it all because the techs and CNA's they do have are usually overwhelmed. The nurse is the go between for everything. That is what the nurses in the break room complain about.

My mom is a (now retired) BSRN, and I'll bet she's changed over 100,000 adult diapers in her lifetime. Back when she was in nursing school they learned to make a hospital bed--because it used to be the RN's who changed the sheets!
