Health Care: The Right Medicine

• Medical Records and Health Information Technicians: This is one of the fastest growing areas of the health care industry with job growth expected to exceed nearly all other jobs in the health care industry. An associate’s degree and a willingness to work are all you’re going to need to get into this field, which pays about $30,000 annually.
