I have chosen to research two career paths as an administrative assistant and a health unit coordinator. After concluding my research I’ve decided to focus more on a career as an administrative assistant position over a health unit coordinator position. In search of the different career paths I uncovered that an administrative assistant career has better stability, such as salary, scheduling, and a similar but a lighter work load than a health unit coordinator. Although there is also a difference in career ladder opportunities between both career paths. After obtaining research I’ve decided a career as an administrative assistant rather than a career as a health unit coordinator will be a better career path for me.
