Health Information Specialist

Duties and Responsibilities:
Health Information Specialists organize and manage health information data

Salary:
Health specialists make approximately $34,160 per year and $16.42 per hour

Education:
Health information specialists usually need a postsecondary certificate to enter the occupation, although they may have an associate’s degree. Many employers also require professional certification.

Reflection:
I think that I wouldn't take this job unless it was a pre-career job that I could work on while I study to become something else. I'm not entirely sure that I would go for a salary as low as $34,150. Which, although a decent salary for one person, would hinder my comfort if I were to start a family. I think not only about my finiancial security in the future, but for possible children. I would want to give them the best life possible, and I think that becoming a health specialist would only be a stepping stone towards another (higher) goal.
