Careers

There are scores and dozens of health careers - some of which you might never have known about.  A master list of the requirements, pay, licensing, etc. in Oklahoma is at  www.okhealthcareers.com

Here is a national list, and again, each career is linked to more information.  Keep in mind that this one is a Federal website, and the data is sometimes overly optimistic.  http://www.khake.com/page22.html
