"I never thought this industry had anything to offer, but it is a great field to be in now and for the future," he said. "I especially like its emphasis on preventing health problems instead of treating them."

Candyce Waitley, a registered nurse at Watkins Health Center, said, "The focus of medicine is changing from treatment to prevention. Companies need people trained in health education. This opens doors not only for more nurses but also for professionals in many fields."
When Dean Dombrowbski graduated three years ago with a degree in business administration, he was not looking specifically for a career in health care. He is now with Squibb, Bristol-Meyers, a major pharmaceutical company.
Fred Madaus, director of the School of Business Placement Center, said that many companies in health care, such as Marion Merrell Dow and Merck Human Health, would be represented at the Business Career Fair at the Holidome on Sept. 22.
"The Career Fair provides an informal opportunity to visit with these representatives and to gather information," he said.
To most people working in health care, theirs is more than a nine-to-five job.
"The satisfaction you get from helping others outweigh the long hours," said Bobbie Coppeleta, a physical therapist at Americana Nursing Home. "If you have a deep interest in helping people, health care offers a very rewarding experience."
