Healthcare Jobs That Are A Good Fit for Veterans

healthcare jobs that are a good fit for veterans

Sometimes the civilian field of work a veteran chooses can be just as important as the job itself. A good job in the dial-up Internet sector is on a countdown to implosion from the very first day, but a job in healthcare can secure work in a field that is expected to grow by almost 20 percent in the next 10 years, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Veterans looking for great jobs after the military can take advantage of military training and experience by working in the healthcare field.

 

But the medical industry isn’t just for medics and corpsmen. The complexity of the modern medical industry has created openings all across the employment spectrum. From X-ray technicians and data entry specialists to customer support, research and development, the demand for capable, reliable employees is on the rise, and veterans fit the bill perfectly.

 

Even if you never thought of yourself as wearing a white coat for a living, it might be wise to consider the kinds of jobs the healthcare field has to offer. To get you started, here are three employers that are hiring and the kinds of healthcare jobs that are a good fit for veterans.
