I have been in Healthcare Management for 12 years and would like to figure out a new career to pursue, something that allows me to make good money in addition to having fun at work.

Van,
Think about what you enjoy doing and search the industry for something that exploits your interest. I am not sure what level you are at in Healthcare Management, but with 12 years I would assume you have management experience which is always a plus. You will also have to make a decision, do you want to be happy with your job or make money....as you know the two do not always come together. I think the best analysis for a career choice will come from with in you.

Healthcare management must be something else these days with all the rules and regulations you must continuously follow to the letter.
But I encourage you to stay in the field. We folks out here need people who know what is going on to help us keep things from getting screwed up. I know I have had a lot of bad experiences with claim forms not sent in on time and things like that. It has cost me a lot of time, nerve points, and money to get things straightened out when they are messed up from the beginning.
Check to see if you could be in line for some kind of training or if they are starting any kind of new section in the place you are employed at now. Don't give up yet on the place you at. If you are a good and valued employee, they wil work with you to keep you around.
Good Luck!

there is a test called the
Strong Campbell Vocational Interest Inventory with Holland Categories
that helps you ID what you are interested in, and what careers will have people like you.
It isn't an aptitude test, more of an interest test.
It can help you identify some job options.
Your high school counselors might have it; if not, college or junior college counselors will have it.
And, no matter what anyone tells you, the other useful tests are not as good, as useful as this one.

has the test online.
I don't know if you have to pay for it.

I used two sets of software, but neither are online.
I used the UAI software at Mesa Community College to determine which field my natural skills, interests, and abilities apply to.
I also used "Career Direct" produced by Crown Ministries. This was a superior piece of software that tells me not just what fields to go into, but gives all families of fields rankings, for match. It includes personality, work style, and values (like respect, pay, time off, etc...) to rank fields which are both a skill & interest match but also are a personality, value, & work-style match. It really helped me. When my sister was looking I put her through it, and it really helped her. It suggested things that I would never thought of, but she is doing great at them now.

Check out the "Life Accelerator" at
http://www.navy.com/careers/accelerateyourlife/lifeaccelerator/
It give you a short list of questions and gives you types of careers that might interest you. I was surprised that most were not Navy related careers.

They are not professional.
Pros are not free, but can be qualitative guidelines.
