Healthcare Jobs
a healthy career choice
San Diego County is facing a tremendous shortage of qualified employees
in almost every healthcare profession, which has impacted educational
institutions in almost every field. Healthcare Jobs: A Healthy Career Choice
is a must-read for youth and their parents who want to learn more about

A Healthy Future
A single adult in San Diego needs to earn at least $2,456
per month in order to meet basic expenses (see figure
1). That’s about $30,000 a year. And when we say basic,
we mean basic: no clubbing in the Gaslamp, no iPod
downloads, no cell phone pix and text; just rent, food,
clothes, transportation, healthcare, and taxes.
So, what if you want to do more than just make ends
meet? Which jobs offer a solid starting salary with lots of
opportunity for promotion? What career choices would
ensure your job won’t be “offshored” to another country?
Consider a career in the healthcare sector. Healthcare is
one of the world’s largest and fastest growing sectors, with
some of the largest and fastest growing professions.
figure 1
What Is the Healthcare Sector?
You already know that the healthcare sector is where you
go when you are feeling sick. But it is also where you go
when you want to make sure you are OK, or when you
want help making sure that you stay OK. The healthcare
sector offers such services as diagnoses, prescriptions,
administration of medicine, and surgery when you aren’t
feeling well. It offers physical examinations, x-rays, and
blood tests to make sure everything is in working order.
And it offers vaccinations against diseases and attendance
at childbirth to make sure you (and your baby) stay healthy.
Healthcare services are offered at hospitals, emergency
care centers, outpatient care facilities, doctor and dentist
offices, medical laboratories, and long-term care facilities.
The healthcare sector offers you many job choices and
opportunities. You could work in a hospital, doctor’s office,
or clinic helping sick people get well. You could work in a
laboratory and run tests and investigate diseases. Or you
could work in an office and wear a suit.

Did you know that community colleges and four-year
colleges and universities are seeking people with
healthcare skills to teach and prepare others to be
healthcare professionals? Have you thought about working
in the K-12 school system as a school nurse? Are you
aware that biotech companies are seeking healthcare
professionals to run clinical trials for the latest medical
and pharmaceutical breakthroughs? The opportunities for
careers in healthcare are almost endless.
What Jobs Are in the Healthcare Sector?
$418

Healthcare services are delivered by doctors, nurses,
physician assistants, home health aides, x-ray technicians,
phlebotomists (the people who draw your blood),
vaccination technicians, and midwives, to name just a
few. New healthcare jobs in San Diego are being created
at a rate of 3.5 percent per year. This is much faster than
other jobs in the county are growing.

In 2006, the median annual wage for all healthcare
professionals was $49,700, much more than that
minimum amount you would need to live in San Diego.
For healthcare practitioners, technologists, and technicians,
the median wage was $62,900; for healthcare support

professionals, it was $25,500. Some jobs pay more than
others (see figure 2). In general, the more education
you have, the more money you can expect to make.
There are, however, some exceptions to this rule.
What Are the Job Opportunities in
Healthcare?
Not only do jobs in the healthcare sector pay well, but
there are also a lot of them (see figure 3). In fact, we are
facing a “service crisis” in the United States. This means
that there are not enough healthcare workers to take
care of the people who need assistance. So, if you have
the right education and attitude, employers will hire you!
This is not only true in San Diego, but also in cities all
across the United States.

Where Can a Career in Healthcare
Take You?
Once you get a job in healthcare and learn it well, your
goals may change. If you are happy at your job, you may
wish to stay where you are. But you may want to learn
more, do more, and earn more. If this is the case, you will
want to move up a career ladder.
Career ladders allow you to build on your knowledge
and experience to move to more advanced positions
with more responsibility and increased pay. Moving up a
career ladder in healthcare almost always requires more
education. It is rare for anyone to move up the ladder
based solely on experience, or just “time on the job.”
There are three major healthcare career ladders. The first
is the patient care career ladder (see figure 4). This ladder
is for individuals who work directly with patients, such as
nurses, dental hygienists, and occupational therapists.
four-year degree. It is important for you to check out all
of these things before you decide where you want to go
to school.
The second ladder is the technical career ladder for
workers who dispense medications, run tests, or prepare
patients’ food, such as pharmacy technicians, diagnostic
ultrasonographers, and dietetic technicians (see figure
6). There are a number of paths up this ladder, including
ones for pharmacy careers, lab careers, and various
technician careers. People with these jobs usually work in
hospitals, medical offices, and medical laboratories.
There are a variety of educational programs that prepare
you for occupations on the technical career ladder, from
ROP and adult education, to certificate programs, public
and private two-year programs, public and private fouryear programs, and graduate degree programs. For some
of the occupations, the only preparation is on-the-job
training (OJT). The costs of these programs vary widely, as
do the entry level salaries for the occupations (see figure 7).
Individuals working in patient care can follow various
paths from nursing aides, orderlies, and attendants into
nursing, occupational or physical therapy, respiratory
therapy, or surgical technicians, while dental assistants
can become dental hygienists. Individuals on this ladder
can also move into teaching or management positions.
There are many educational programs that prepare you
for healthcare careers, including Regional Occupational
Program (ROP) and adult education programs, certificate
programs, public and private two-year and four-year
college programs, and advanced graduate degree
programs. When picking a program and school to go to, it
is important to look at both the cost of the education and
the salary you will make once you finish your schooling
(see figure 5). You do not want to be paying more for
your education than you will be able to make during your
career as a healthcare professional!
In general, public schools are much less expensive than
private ones, but private schools may be able to let you
start your program, while public schools may have to
place you on a waiting list. Shorter programs (ROP, adult
education) can be cheaper than two-year programs, which
can be cheaper than four-year programs. However, some
places you might want to work may require a four-year
degree, or they may pay more for people who have that

Technical Career Ladder Occupations with Entry Wage and Education Cost*
figure 7
The third ladder is the clerical career ladder, for
individuals who process paperwork or handle
records, billing, or scheduling, such as a medical
transcriptionists or secretaries (see figure 8). There
are two main paths for this ladder. You can start as a
nursing aide, orderly, or attendant and move into the
medical records arena, or you can start as a file clerk,
unit assistant, or scheduler, and become a medical
coder, department secretary, or medical transcriber.
Occupations on the clerical career ladder tend to require
less education—only extending from ROP and adult
education programs, to certificate and two-year programs—
and at a substantially lower cost (see figure 9). Starting
salaries for these jobs, however, are also much lower, and
do not rise above the very basic cost of living in San Diego
until individuals move into management positions.

San Diego Workforce Partnership, Inc.
San Diego Workforce Partnership, Inc. (Workforce Partnership) has been in operation since 1974, when a joint powers agreement between the
City and the County of San Diego created what is now a nonprofit public benefit corporation. The Workforce Partnership’s mission is:
To lead the development and implementation of creative solutions to regional workforce issues, and fuel economic growth and prosperity
through research, community engagement, and innovative collaborations and partnerships.
The Workforce Partnership has long created workforce solutionsSM for the region’s employers and individuals through public and private
partnerships. We provide cost-effective, quality programs and services that promote self-sufficiency and address the current and long-term
needs of the region’s employers. This is largely accomplished through the Workforce Partnership’s regional network of One-Stop Career Centers
and its targeted adult and youth employment and training programs. These resources provide job seekers and employers with universal access
to labor market information and comprehensive employment resources.
