What are good medical fields to take classes in besides nursing?

I am currently interested in getting into the medical field. At first i was going to enroll into a medical program that offers certification in medical assistant, pharmacy technician, and medical billing and coding. The course was going to be 8 months and cost was going to be $13,500. But i did my research and I heard that people really do not find a good job or a job period in those fields. So can someone give me advice on what are some good medical fields and programs to get into whereares I am going to be able to find a good paying job in?

So, you can be an Emergency Medical Technician/Paramedic, a lab tech (process specimens), a radiologist, a sonographer (using an ultrasound machine to take scans of the body, a Polysomnographic Technologist (work with people with sleep disorders), a social worker (yes the hospital has social workers, I see them ALL the time working with patients), occupational therapy as well as physical therapy, respiratory therapy, phlebotomists….the list goes on and on. I would encourage you to find a career, not a job. Yes a job may pay well, but you’ll be unhappy in the end. Making a career out of what you have a passion for will bring you much more happiness, even if the pay isn’t what you desire. To work in the medical field, you must, MUST love what you do. I’m a nursing student, will graduate this December, and expected to make much more upon graduation, let me tell you, the pay for nurses isn’t what everyone thinks, but I love people, I love healing the soul, the body, and spirit. I was born to do this. I pray you find what you were created to to as well, for you and those around you will benefit greatly. God bless.

47 Herbal Remedies $4.99 What a wonderful day! It’s early summer and not a single cloud in the sky. You climb over a log that has fallen across the trail and wait for your 10 year old son to catch up.A quick, upward glance at the sunlight filtering through the canopy of trees signals that it’s about time to head back to camp. The crisp, pungent smell of the forest floor reminds you how much you needed this family vacation.You can almost smell the trout that you and Billy caught early this morning frying in the pan over the open fire. Just as your stomach begins to rumble in anticipation, you hear a scream.Your head snaps around and you can see Billy just a few yards down the trail, his arms flapping wildly around his head. Back over the log you jump, and running reach him in just seconds.Billy has upset one very angry wasp. Whipping off your cap, you swat it away and while it’s stunned lying on the ground you send the nasty critter off to meet his insect brothers in the great beyond.Quick examination shows that Billy has been bitten repeatedly by the wasp and is in some serious pain. No medicine cabinet and no drugstore for miles. Your emergency medical kit is back at camp.Eyes darting around the ground near the trail, you spot just what you need. Grabbing a handful of leaves from what looks like a weed, you toss a few in your mouth and chew them quickly. You apply the poultice to the red welts appearing on Billy’s arms and face. Almost as quickly as his screams began, Billy stops crying. Wiping away his tears with the back of his hand, he manages a crooked grin and a sheepish, “thanks Dad.”Disaster averted. As you and Billy begin the hike back to camp, you remember that book you purchased online about herbal remedies and acknowledge it was money well spent!There are thousands of plants that can treat just as many
