The healthcare industry is expected to grow in Florida and throughout the nation, improving career options for aspiring health technicians and health information technology professionals. A mammography technologist in Jacksonville, Florida, earns $50,700 on average, according to Salary.com, while a medical records technician earns about $33,200. While no degree program can guarantee a particular salary or career, many healthcare professions require education as well as training as prerequisites for employment.
In May 2007, the unemployment rate was 3.4%, significantly lower than the national average. Job opportunities are expected to be best for college graduates, because hiring managers often screen for the most qualified candidates based on education, training, and experience.
