1. Surgeon: This is one of the highest paying careers. Period. A surgeon goes through 10 – 15 years of training, in order to reach a certain level of competency. Surgeons who specialize in one area can make even more money, since their particular skills can be in very specific demand. And, since it requires knowledge of the body and its systems, it is part of the biological sciences.
2. Anesthesiologist: In order to become an anesthesiologist, you need years of training — including the same training it takes to become a physician. Knowledge of chemistry is helpful as well. With people likely to continue to need surgery and want to be comfortable, it is likely that this job will be in high demand in the coming decade.
3. Internist: With the incidence of diabetes, high blood pressure and other chronic illnesses on the rise, it is no surprise that internists are in high demand. These physicians can help treat adult diseases, and must be familiar with biology and pathology in order to help diagnose and treat a wide variety of medical conditions.
4. Dentist: People will always have teeth, and need them worked on. A large number of dentists in the Baby Boomer generation are expected to retire in the next few years, and that means that there will be a demand for their replacements. Becoming a dentist can be a way to make good money in the next decade.
5. Oral surgeon: If you are looking to take dentistry to the next level, you might consider oral and maxillofacial surgery. This profession not only deals with extracting wisdom teeth, but also helps put people back together after accidents, oral cancer and other conditions.
6. Nurses: Many nurses have advanced training in medicine, and must know anatomy. And there is a shortage of nurses in some areas. In fact, nurses are in high demand, are expected to continue to be demand in the next decade — especially with the aging population. A nurse with experience in end of life issues or geriatric nursing could do very well.
7. X-ray technician: You can get a good career as an x-ray technician without having to go through more than a decade of schooling. You do need to have an aptitude for technological science, and be willing to learn some basics about the human body, but it is a good science based career that doesn’t require insane amounts of training.
8. Physician assistant: With more people needing more access to the dwindling number of health care professionals, the job of physician assistant is expected to be in demand over the next decade. These health care professionals can practice medicine under proper supervision, and must have a basic knowledge of anatomy and pathology.

13. Petroleum: There are a number of jobs available in petroleum. The world’s energy demands are growing, and even though efforts to increase the use of alternative energy are underway, petroleum is still the main energy source for most of the world. And with countries like China and India ready to expand their oil use, a petroleum engineer could make a great deal of money in the next decade.
14. Green energy: Even though oil remains the main energy source, green energy is gaining some popularity. Engineers and others will be needed to increase the efficiency of alternative energy sources, as well as design and build different types of devices. If you have training in biology, physics, chemistry, ecology, or a number of other science disciplines, you could find a good job in green energy in the next decade.
15. Civil engineer: One of the jobs expected to be in high demand over the next 10 years is civil engineer. With the infrastructure of the U.S. crumbling, civil engineers will be needed to help design and build roads and bridges, as well as design urban spaces.
16. Aerospace engineering: There are a number of different jobs expected to come available in the next decade related to aerospace engineering. From aircraft to spacecraft, this combines engineering and physical sciences concepts to build the vehicles that will take us into the future.
17. Astronomy: Astronomy and astrophysics are expected to continue to grow in the coming decade. Scientists expect to learn more about the origins of the universe, and to learn more about how this information might affect basic understanding of fundamental physics on earth.
18. Engineering manager: You don’t have to get your hands dirty as an engineer. If you have a good head for math and physical science, you can manage other engineers. You still have to go through engineering training, but you can manage others and take advantage of the salary combo that comes as an engineer and a manager.
19. Nanotechnology: Science and technology continue to shrink to the nanoscale. If you are good at math and physical science you can get some training in nanotechnology, and get a job for the future.
20. Materials science: As nanotechnology advances, and as devices change in the future, scientists will need to be able to work on new materials and discover their properties. If you are interested in chemistry and physics, you can help develop new materials and devices that advance technology and improve life.
21. Computer programming: Computers run most aspects of our lives. This means that there will be a need for programmers who can create new programs and keep things moving. Computer programming is expected to continue to grow.
22. Computer software engineer: This job is expected to grow explosively over the next decade. You need an understanding of computer technology and math to be a computer software engineer, as well as programming skills and a willingness to continue to learn and develop your skills.
23. Computer and Information Systems Manager: You can make six figures if you know how information and data work. Over the next decade, computer and information are only going to become more integrated in life, and if you can manage these systems, you could find a good job.

The Masters degrees available in the field of health science include health administration, health care administration, health services administration and business administration in health. All these degrees are similar as they are all from the field of healthcare. These degrees can be applied for online by specifying the particular health science field you want to study and submitting an application that answers all the specified questions as they will require study history and they will wish to know the mode of study you prefer whether distance learning or on campus learning.

Classes for taking masters in Health Science that are being offered through the distance study method are on the increase as they allow one to attend to their coursework fully while they are present to take care of their work, family, community and any other obligations. These are very good degrees but for the medical field a lot of laboratory work is required so as to perfect the theoretical skills that one learns.

A masters in health sciences is important for those wishing to develop in-depth skills for use in their career. However, law degree candidates and lawyers can also apply for this degree. The application requires a bachelor’s degree as a prerequisite and in some cases prior experience is required. Most health science schools also offer alternative medicine practices like acupuncture, holistic nursing, naturopathy and many other courses. Healthcare professionals promote preventive maintenance curative measures and by taking this degree one sets themselves on the path to obtaining a license to practice what they’ve acquired from the masters degree. However, to be able to claim to be fully proficient one needs to have a doctorate (or PhD), which cannot be attained without first having a masters.
