Healthcare Careers
In Less T han 4 Years

I
t is the Year of Health Care!! No, it is not another astrological
New Year, so put away your calendars. However, it is no secret
that a career in healthcare is a secure and lucrative option for
many people. Healthcare is one of the fastest growing industries
and is projected to grow a whopping 18% between now and 2026.
Healthcare is the largest employment sector making it even easier
for you to break into this field. If you have a desire to enter the
healthcare industry to help people, you have plenty of options.
And for those of you that want to get started right away, there are
career options available that pay well.
You might assume that you would need a bachelor’s or at least an
associate degree to enter the healthcare industry. It turns out that
may not be the case. Preparing for high-paying, low-stress health-
care careers is a lot easier that you might ever imagine. Some
healthcare positions require a short certification course while oth-
ers do not even need that much. I do not want you to just take my
word for it. At IBA Success, it has always been our mission to inform
and educate our readers. To that end, using information from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, we have compiled a list of several great
health care careers that do not require a college degree.
