At this point, I am beginning to rethink my career aspirations. I'm wondering if becoming a recruiter for healthcare IT is a better option.
When does the law of supply and demand apply? I understand that there is a shortage of professionals in healthcare IT. I read an article on MSN last week that there is considerable lack of women in the IT field.
I am absolutely dying to get into healthcare IT. I believe that I have a lot to contribute to the field because I am so passionate about realizing changes in the hospital setting. And the last I checked, I am a female. So why is it so difficult for me to find opportunities?
I was presented with an opportunity at Perot Systems, but there is a huge catch. After the three-month training program called Healthcare Academy, I am to be relocated to any of their accounts in the United States where I can start my career as a healthcare business systems analyst. hmm...
I'm waiting to see the contract. Is there room for salary growth? Seeing how there is a demand in the field, I'm thinking that the salary is on the lower end of the spectrum. How long do I have to commit to the location? The only thing that isn't allowing me to let go of this opportunity is the training program. Where else can I learn everything about healthcare IT? Pretty much nowhere.
I'm stuck.
Meanwhile, I'm scouring the career pages at various hospital and healthcare system websites.
Wish me luck!! =)

I feel you - I was thinking about 'selling out' and working for Johnson and Johnson. Sounded like a sound idea until I heard the details of their job offer. They train you in irvine, then for the next 2 years you are shipped around the country. Great news for someone without a family or friends, but personally, I like the life I lead and do not want to simply erase all I am for a good opportunity. Good luck with the job search.
