10 Reasons Why I Want To Go Into The Medical Field

The medical field is definitely not for everyone; a person needs to have a calling for it. I have several family members in this field, and I have heard them say that this issue is prevalent in hospitals and medical facilities today. Too many people go into this profession for the wrong reasons, and they should not. They are holding people's lives in their hands, and they should take it seriously.

1. Helping People

I have a desire to help people, those that are hurting, those in need, or those who just needs someone to lift them up. A simple kind word or helping hand goes a long way with a person who truly needs it.

2. Making a Difference

In my future job, I want to make a difference in my patients' lives. I want to show them that I truly care about them. Medical professionals should go to great lengths to help their patients and see that they get the best care possible. There is so much hurting in the world today, and I want to be a person to show love and ease pain.

3. Endless Learning

People in the medical field realize the need to continue their education. They always have something new to learn about or train in. Education does not become void in this profession.

4. Open Field of Opportunities

The medical field has many opportunities for those who choose to go into it. There are options for travel or missions all over the world. People can advance and grow in their field as well and expand their horizons as far as they want.

5. Dressing Up or Dressing Down

Depending on the place of work, most people in the medical field can wear what they want. Some days they will need to dress up, with a dress or skirt or shirt and tie, and other days, they'll need their scrubs, tennis shoes, and a white coat. I, for one, love clothes, and the variety of dress is definitely a plus.

6. Meeting a lot of People

The medical field is an open witness field. Doctors and nurses have the chance to meet and get to know people who they would otherwise not get to. They have the opportunity to show and share the love of Jesus EVERY DAY with the people they come in contact with. To me, the medical field is one of the best professions to fulfill the Great Commission and reach people for Christ.

7. Job Security

Society will always need health services. Through the hardest times in history, medical jobs have always been necessary. This feature also proves very important to students choosing a career. Finding substantial and reliable work can be very hard.

8. Variety of Options to Specialize In

In the medical field, a person can go in any direction they choose. Professionals can choose how they want to serve people and what most interests them. They don't have to grow tired of what they're doing because they can always change and pursue something else; they just have to find the right specialty.

9. Different Levels of Employment

A person who desires to go into the medical field can usually find a job that best suits them. Levels of employment vary. They can go as high as they want, find a job with hours that correlate with their daily lives, and stay satisfied with where they are and what they are doing.

10. It's a calling

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
