On beginning a new career at 57, what field in health care would be the best, shortest to achieve, best paying


Question:
looking for the shortest time for re-education in medical field as well as best paying jobs .

Answers:
You're asking a lot, I think the best you'll get now is cook or care assistant. Jobs go to younger people now, the last care home I worked in was full of 18 and 19 year olds who had no idea what they were doing, but it was cheaper to employ them.

Other Answers:
at age 57 maybe you should be looking for a retirement home!

What is your previous education and experience? There are many different ways to go in the medical profession, talk to a career counselor, they can help you find a path that will take full advantage of your current skills.

You can do medical asistant (about 18 months training) or Nursing assistant (about 3 months training) phlebotomy (about 2 months trainig)
Medical Claims billing (about 12 months)
medical coding (about 6 months)
It all depends if you want to do sit down or actually do hands on in healthcare
Also, the pay rate depends on where you live

radiology is worth a look radiography is a 2 year cert
Cert med assistant is soso
Lpn also a 2 year degree
you are not too old and nursing is in high demand.
do not go cna except as working to lpn cna is a low field in pay and hard physical work.
look up salary ranges for fields you are interested in.
