Health/Medical Technologies
The tables below present the occupations that are most commonly associated
with a degree in Health/Medical Technologies. We have separated the tables
depending on whether we examine graduates who stop their education with the
bachelors degree in Health/Medical Technologies, and those who get either a masters
in Health/Medical Technologies, a Ph.D. in Health/Medical Technologies.
While the list above describes the occupations of students with advanced degrees in
Health/Medical Technologies some students with a bachelors degree in Health/Medical Technologies will get advanced
degrees in other fields. The tables listed below descibe the types of advanced degrees
that were chosen by students with a bachelors in Health/Medical Technologies.
Since all of the above tables present information on the average salary,
it is possible to lose sight of the fact that some majors place students
in jobs with a narrow range of salaries near to the mean while others
place students in many different income categories. For this reason,
we have drawn two frequency distributions (histograms) of Health/Medical Technologies Salaries.
