2 out of 5 stars.  Limited information, March 25, 2008
I am a medical Physicist and hence have some information about opportunities in health care. I bought this book because i wanted to prepare a general talk about different opportunities in health care.

The book has covered many of the health and medical career. I was pleasantly surprised to see medical physics also covered. The main shortfalls of this book is the lack of substance. If you are looking for in depth coverage of any of the career options you will be dissappointed. The book is only 134 pages covering more than 50 professions- so most are covered with half a page. Also the salary information is seriously outdated. It quoted the average income for a physician assistant to be 64000 and my research from American Academy of Physician Assistant found it to be 86214.It states the salary for radiation therapy technology to be in the range of 25000 to 35000. The current radiation therapy salary start from 45000 to 80000. Most of the professions that i have researched and gotten reliable information about the salary, those quoted in this book are way below the current going rate. This book is a good source for basic information but lacks in details
