Nursing
Doctors and physicians are simultaneously becoming more specialized and more expensive. The end result is they spend less time on patient care. Hospitals and other medical institutions, therefore, are looking for (relatively) cheap personnel who can handle the patient care end of the health care industry. Those would be nurses.
A Bachelor's degree in Nursing will prepare you for a career for a career as a Registered Nurse (RN). Your duties will include assessing patient health, administering nursing care to patients, and maintaining medical records.
The mean annual wage for an RN is $62,500.
The demand for advanced practice nurses is even hotter. With an advanced degree and additional certification, a nurse's salary can skyrocket well into the $100,000 range.
