Not that it matters too much, but how old are you? Switching from accounting to healthcare might mean more school/debt than you really want to undertake :francis:

Having said that, I know 40+ year olds in med school, pharm school, etc. Never too late...its just you gotta be super sure this what you want to do to make the grind worth it.

Plenty of room in Healthcare for finance, decision support, informatics.

Healthcare is easy for minorities to dominate
Thats a good point...I thought you meant one of the front line healthcare positions.

I dont know too much about that side of it, but I cant imagine it being too different from what you do now. Probably worse because healthcare in america is bloated as fukk :scust:

Healthcare should be looked at as an opportunity for minorities to take over and dominate. Indians Pakistan south asians have literally taken over certain hospitals.

I can't hates is stable and is in need.

West Africans and West Indians as well. I would love to see more African Americans in healthcare. There's a systematic issue behind that though that will take years to remedy.

Are you at a bank or do you just hate accounting? If not, do accounting or financial analysis stuff for a hospital
