What is the pay outlook for Healthcare?
Healthcare jobs, already in high demand, are expected to grow extensively to meet the increased need from an aging population.

Despite fewer opportunities for remote work than other professions, healthcare jobs can be found nearly everywhere, including both rural and urban settings. While careers in healthcare offer high job security, they also often involve long hours, including evening and weekend shift work, particularly for those just starting their career.
