<p>A couple of my friends were going at it recently over this topic and it came close to ending there friendship(lol). So i propose to you guys the question:</p>
<p>In the future will there be more business jobs or medical jobs?</p>
<p>Most people say medical based jobs, but i personally believe business. However, i decided to stay neutral in the argument. What do you guys think?</p>
<p>bumpbumpbump</p>
<p>Depends on what you mean by “future”.</p>
<p>Physicians will decline as technology scales to shift healthcare costs down. Medical researchers will remain high in employment.</p>
<p>Business is a very vague term. Almost all employees of companies who are not involved in production or support services are in “business.”</p>
<p>Business. Obamacare isn’t going to be good for anyone, including those going into the profession. Going into healthcare today is riskier than ever, in my opinion.</p>
<p>Business…because of China.
It couldn’t possibly be medical. That’s just ridiculous knowing that Obama is our president.</p>
<p>Well i guess they were questioning which will be in more demand in the future. People say we will always need doctors because people will always get sick and need care.</p>
<p>Most probably the medical profession will have more jobs in the future. People will always get sick and diseases will always mutate. </p>
<p>“Business. Obamacare isn’t going to be good for anyone, including those going into the profession. Going into healthcare today is riskier than ever, in my opinion.”</p>
<p>TRUFFLIEPUFF and TornadoOfSouls, the health care reform, as I understand it provides coverage to more Americans and is also supported by the American Medical Association, which is the largest association of physicians and medical students. But obviously the two of you feel you know more than real physicians and medical students.</p>
<p>^ People will stop wanting to become physicians low because the reform in such way will decrease salaries, which is the reason why people become doctors in the first place. 12 years of college and medical school for <$80,000 isn’t really attractive.</p>
<p>^I’m sure the American Medical Association, which is known for aggressively lobbying salary increases for physicians, would not have supported the bill if it had come to the same conclusion as you have.</p>
<p>^ I agree. We will never have a stoppage of future doctors, because there will always be people who think it will be a profitable. Btw, if you had a solution for the millions without it, what it would be?</p>
<p>^ That’s not up to me. But I wouldn’t take from the earners and give it to the non-earners, that’s for sure. There’s a reason this hasn’t been attempted in the past.</p>
<p>Medical, I’d hope. Realistically, not sure. No one can be.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>“Business” is too vague. I would say that some business careers are very stable, but that doesn’t really answer the question. There will always be managers, but they don’t need management degrees. Accountants will always be needed, although that field may be shaken up down the road.</p></li>
<li><p>Health care workers are essential, but I wouldn’t necessarily expect to make a fortune. There is a strong trend in the health industry to expand use of cheaper, non-specialized nurses and techs. At some point, health care costs will be brought back down to earth. Obama didn’t choose to man up and deal with that particular problem now, but when baby boomers start running out of cash demand for cheaper care will surge. Either the government will step in or private industry (Walmart for health?) will offer a cheaper alternative. Either way, I don’t expect the gravy train to keep rolling in.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Wait, are you implying that our health care isn’t a business? That’s the problem, there is NO distinction between health care and business. </p>
<p>So the answer is that there isn’t an answer because you can’t separate the two. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The “non-earners”. Who do you define as a non-earner? You do realize that some of the lowest paid people in our country are the people that we couldn’t be America without - students, teachers, waiters, janitors, repairmen, etc. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Let me rephrase this for you. There are several reasons why it has been shot down in the past in America by people who were highly invested in the health care business. This model has existed quite well in numerous other countries. </p>
<p>I’m not getting into a health care debate here though. Not worth it.</p>
<p>Business.</p>
<p>Look at it this way: No business = no money = nothing to pay for medical services.</p>
<p>Although I agree with what romani said about health care being simply another business.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Um, medicare, medicaid, social security, lots of state healthcare systems…</p>
<p>And for the record, Obamacare doesn’t take from the earners and give to the non-earners. Medicaid does that. Obamacare takes from the healthy and gives to the sick, only it’s not enforceable so it really just takes from random things in general and gives to the bureaucracy.</p>
<p>Oh no political thread D:</p>
<p>Well, people will always have businesses and need doctors, though business is always more risky in terms of rate of success.</p>
<p>^ Don’t worry, we’ve had our Obamacare debate… No need for more of that until November at least lol.</p>
<p>^
Uh oh, MM and I agree on something.
<em>Cue dramatic music</em></p>
<p>^ Don’t be so suprised, that has happened AT LEAST three times before :P.</p>
<p>Actually, we probably agree on a lot of things. Just not some of the things that tend to come up on these boards…</p>
