Comparing my Career Ladders

Career ladders show how you can advance in a particular career field. On your career ladders on the back of this page, use one ladder for the health care career you’ve been directed toward from our class activities. Use the other ladder for another career of your choice (preferably in health care!).

For most medical careers there are three or four levels which build upon each other with additional training. Generally, the more training and education you have, the higher pay you receive. Complete the following chart:

Career Level Education Required Example
Professional    
Technologist/Therapist    
Technician    
Aide/Assistant    
Back to your career ladders!

For each career ladder chosen, use the bottom rung of the ladder for the lowest position within that career field and each of the rungs above for additional steps up the career ladder which are possible in that field.

For each rung of your two career ladders, indicate the following:
a. Name of the career
b. Pay level for this career
c. Education required for this career
d. Level of personal responsibility, independence, and authority in this career
