The proper way to analyze and discuss careers is to look at them as made up of stages. We can identify five career stages that most people will go through during their adult years, regardless of the type of work they do. These stages are exploration, establishment, mid-career, late career and decline.

Health Science Heath Science will be the fastest growing career cluster over the next decade. The health services industry includes establishments ranging from small-town private practice physicians who employ only one medical assistant to busy inner city hospitals that provide thousands of diverse jobs.

Lowest Paid The lowest-paid workers with human service careers were the 360,000 social and human service assistants who received $14.77 per hour or $30,710 per year. They work under the supervision of social workers, psychologists or other social service specialists to provide support for their clients.
