Does anyone have a really cool job working in the health care industry?
Asked by Dawn S
I'm trying to decide which direction to follow in the health care field. I love helping people both physically and spiritually but I have a bit of a back problem so I am leaning more towards something less physical. I don't like dealing with insurance companies and billing departments. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am a fun, nurturing person with a lot to offer, I just need a push in the right direction, thanks!
