There's always a bubble, but now I guess is the best time to invest in health care then and unload them near the end of the coming decade? 😛

Except the first two had artificial demand and a over supply of product. Health care isn't going to run out of patients, especially with all of the baby boomers.
 
you are not guaranteed a job in healthcare. my wife graduated this past may with a nursing degree and is an RN. normally the graduating class all had jobs lined up months before graduation. This year most did not have one as they were walking across the stage at graduation. she was lucky to get one, but she has almost an hour commute to get there.
 
I honestly considered going into the health care field from the IT field a few years back.

You're right though, it's the same "fee" as the IT boom of the 90's.

Wouldn't you consider the baby boomers an artificial demand? The industry won't run out of patients but the baby boomers won't be here forever... eventually the age groups will even out. What will happen when there are no more baby boomers and we have 2 nurses/patient[over-exhaggerating]. The health industry are also traded on the stock market, less profits from les patients with too many workers = crash. Of course this is just my speculation but I am a firm believer that we're always in some type of bubble. I may not know what it is but the health care industry is not exempt from the list of possible candidates.
 
This thread is outrageous! I am not a doctor but I play one at home. Granted I dont get paid anything as I am my only patient, but I earn my pay! I graduated top of my class of one and did so with honors! To say that anyone can get a degree and expect a job in medicine these days is completely true and a known fact. I am living proof!

You guys are completely deluded. Half of this years residency class cant find jobs. No hospitals are hiring doctors right now, mostly because no ones sure of whats going to happen to revenue in the upcoming years.
