The Healthcare industry is one of the most critical and major fields catering to humans and their well-being. The medical field is now, more than ever, a very demanding and focused work that requires the services of dedicated, hard-working, and passionate individuals.

@0:40 u can tell shes proud of her job.

[@duke613]

They want certification but the pay is SO low! I was thinking of this career but who can survive on that pay especially if you have a mortgage?

[@PTTIEDU]

Yes Employers do want the employees to be certified - at least when they are starting in the industry as that is the only criteria to understand the skills/value add. Although would always love it if they pay their employees even better.

@@PTTIEDUis the certification %100 necessary? or would they still hire you without? 😊

[@napnemeanix]

It’s better than working at Walmart and making 11k, 40k is decent for SPT while aiming for bachelors degree.

But get paid very little

[@moonwalker_818]

Can you have visible tattoos for this career ?

[@brandingevangelist7745]

I donot think Tattoos visible and not visible have to be a criterion for any job/career. It's a personal choice (but yes it is a personal choice of the person on the other side of the table too).

[@moonwalker_818]

@@brandingevangelist7745 guess you’re right but then again I live in Los Angeles where tattoo culture is ingrained into our city chances of not getting a job over tattoos are very slim tbh unless you work in a corporate setting I thought I’d ask either way lol never been denied a job before
