If you're talking about selling pharmaceuticals or medical devices, I don't think there's a required degree.  But the best combination would be a mix of Business (Marketing specifically), and science, such as Chemistry, Engineering, or Biology.  That way, you'll clearly understand the products you're selling, and also know how to sell.\n\nHOWEVER, I don't think a degree will be enough to get you that job.  You'll need sales experience on your resume, possibly through a summer job, and it would be better if it were professional sales, rather than retail or door-to-door stuff.  Perhaps even taking a job at the college doing work for the Development Office would help.\n\nMore importantly, what I've seen is that this field, more than any other, seems to hire 'good-looking' people, so it wouldn't hurt to get in shape before you interview.  It isn't exactly fair, but I think it helps to know the reality.\n\nBest of luck to you.

Go to your nearest community college, get a copy of the curriculum offered and ask to make an appointment w/an career advisor.  They can give you a test to help determine your best academic field and interests.  Hopefully, you'll find a health care profession interesting to you as there are openings in the health care field all over the country.  Vet tech is another field that is growing with a wide range of possibilities.  Good luck!

From previous research into med schools, I would recommend getting a pre-med BS because of the sciences.  You'll probably want to take microbiology, histology, general and organic chemistry to give you a better background for the first 2 years of med school.  It can be done with a psychology degree but it may be more difficult.

I recommend a college that will lead you into a D.O. certification rather than the M.D.  D.O. is Doctor of Osteopathy, and I have found the D.O.'s to be much better than MD's.  They seem to be more interested in preventative care, and in finding root problems instead of just fixing the symptoms.  They look at the whole person.\n\nThis seems to me to be a better way of doing medicine.

Anything, and I mean ANYTHING, in the nursing field.  There are also medical-related jobs not involving direct patient care, like medical records, which I am going to school for right now.  Medical is definitely a good way to go, but always keep your own interests at heart.

It depends on what your associates degree is for and where you are living. I have an associates of applied science (paralegal) and it is a tough job market out there, just being out of school, with no real hands on experience. If your looking to get an associates degree I would highly reccomend something basic, like; accounting, business management, or medical transcription.

I must admit I was ready to shoot you down (as a couple of others have done)  after reading the first part of your question but I wont coz the second part was more reasonable! lol\nYou are studying good subjects.  Get more detailed advice from a Careers tutor or look at Uni's that do medical degrees and see what they are asking for.  I cant tell you as I dont have a medical degree and dont plan on getting one coz Im too old now ;D\nGood luck, Im sure you will do well, you have a good solid grounding at the moment and im sure you will build on that.

Communications is a good basic degree.  You can work in the corporate world in the communications dept.  Health care vendors need people to write clear concise plan documents.  Advertisers need people to copyright an easy to understand message.  CEOs need speachwriters.  The list is endless.  In this world of information saturation, you cannot over emphasize good concise info.  If you can provide that service you will never be out of a job.

A business degree is a wide open field. I'm a business major, but I'm specializing in human resources and management. This will allow me to take any management level position or a position in a lot of human resources positions. \n\nBut a business degree can do a lot of other things besides being a manager. Banking, accounting, finance, logistics, sales, marketing, retail management, are just some that come to mind.

You could look into becoming a sales rep for a medical device company or a pharmaceutical company. From what I'm told (my husband's a doctor, so he sees these guys all the time), the pay is good, the perks are good, and you get to talk to interesting people while kind of running your own day.

Office Management.  If your going to have your own practice, you should know how to run it!  Good Luck!

MAJOR?  Biology, chemistry or pre-med, becuase you have to become a medical doctor thru medical school to then specialize in plastic and cosmetic surgery, so you need an undergrad degree suitable for a future doctor.

Check out the link below.  Common industries for people with Education degrees include educational publishing, corporate training and counseling.  You might want to consider adult education as well (it's nice to teach people who are in class voluntarily).

The best I can think of is doing a blended MSN/MBA or MSN/MPH. This combination of degrees should give you the education needed to put you in hospital administration or work in healthcare policy. The MSN could also give you enough education to teach nursing to students that are aspiring BSN's, LPN's or ADN's. The Doctor of Nursing Practice could also prepare you for a career in research or education, and at most institutions that is only one extra year of schooling. The DNP is a new degree, but with healthcare you never know what the future holds. Or you could take the next 4+ years and become a PhD. \n\nHow does Dr. Lilbittygirl sound? I think it has a ring to it! Reach for the sky...

I would recommend nursing hands down. Not only is it flexible (you can choose your shift and number of work days), you can also choose the kind of work environment you want. Hospital, home care, nursing homes. The pay is pretty good as well and most importantly the knowledge you gain is priceless.\n\nYou don't need a degree by the way to be a nurse, there are other programmes you can do without medical endorsement.

I think a degree in Business Management would be better.  A class in finance and econ wouldnt hurt, but focusing on either of those wouldnt help in real estate.  The best way to find out is to talk to an advisor at the univeristy.  They'll know the best way to go for what u want to do.  good luck
