What are the best jobs in America?


What are the best jobs in America? I suppose the answer really depends on who you ask. According to CNN Money.com, the best jobs are those that provide "great pay and growth prospects." Care to see the list of 50 jobs? Let's start with the top 10:
1 Systems Engineer
2 Physician Assistant
3 College Professor
4 Nurse Practitioner
5 Information Technology Project Manager
6 Certified Public Accountant
7 Physical Therapist
8 Computer/Network Security Consultant
9 Intelligence Analyst
10 Sales Director
Notice how 3 out of the 10 are in the health care field? If you continue down the list, you'll also see Anesthesiologist (#11), Pharmacist (#13), Occupational Therapist (#14), Nurse Anesthetist (#15), Physician/General Practice (#19), Physician/Obstetrician/Gynecologist (#22), Clinical Psychologist (#23), Psychiatrist (#24), and the list just goes on...

To see the complete list of the "best jobs in America," click here.

Do you feel like you have a "best job?" How is your job satisfaction? You could have a nice salary and you could even have growth potential, but that doesn't define a great job in my opinion. You need to find satisfaction in your work and you also need to consider your stress level and the impact on your personal life. How important is work-life balance to you?

One of the biggest reasons why physicians are choosing to leave clinical medicine is because they want to reduce stress and improve their work-life balance. Many are even willing to reduce their potential income if they can be happier.

Disappearing doctors

This video came out earlier this month and I just could not resist sharing it because of the title. Are doctors really disappearing? Where are they going? We know that some are getting out of patient care and moving into non-clinical careers. Are doctors really "naive about the financial aspects of practice?" Watch this video and you decide.

Non-clinical jobs in the UK and Europe


The other day, someone asked me, "do you know of any non-clinical positions in the UK/Europe?"

I replied: Join LinkedIn and you'll see discussions on this topic in various groups related to pharma, medical communications, medical devices, health care consulting, etc.

Many of the major pharma companies are based out of Europe. Plus, US pharma companies have offices in Europe. Therefore, there are many positions especially within pharma. Keep in mind that this means that there are opportunities within companies that provide services for pharma. Some examples include: medical communications companies such as advertising agencies, education companies, and more. There are companies that deal with market research. You'll also find many professional medical writers working in Europe.

So what's the best way to find these opportunities? This is where social networks like LinkedIn can play a vital role. It's a very quick way to build your network, meet recruiters, and find positions and opportunities that may be the right fit for your skill sets.

I have absolutely no idea!!!

Medical school, 4 years of orthopaedic surgery residency, burned out, now getting an MPH at Columbia. Where the heck do I go from here? I graduate in May and have absolutely, and I mean absolutely, no idea what I'm going to be doing in May. I'd rather not do another residency, but I'm getting the feeling that if nothing else presents itself I may have to settle doing the most lax residency (IF there is one!). Please help. You can email me at chertoff_md@hotmail.com. Thanks so much. Warm regards,… Continue

Ideas for non clinical physician positions

As I mentioned, I have worked as a legal inhouse medical analyst for a plaintiff's firm and insurance defense. These were full time, salaried positions with great hours. Sure I took a pay cut but felt it was worth it. Now I am looking for new ideas for full time salaried ideas.
Seems my position has been prime for lay offs....anyone with great ideas?

Is Medical Writing same as Medical Transcription and Coding ?

Is Medical Writing same as Medical Transcription and Coding - More than 70% of 1245 enquires answered by our team in last two months had this query in common. Medical Writing is entirely different from other two in terms of career opportunities, skills required, supply v/s demand and remuneration.
