Comment My job: business intelligence for health services (Score 1) 352
I have an interesting job:
I provide business intelligence for health services.
It requires my CS degree to perform the analysis and make reports people can understand.
It requires the whole of my brain because I have to learn a whole new industry and know it better than many of the players - because I have to know not only what one hospital does but how other hospitals do it differently.
It is constantly varying, because once you produce analysis, it's a few button presses to repeat it in subsequent years, so you have the time for future creativity.
It gives me a "warm cosy feeling" because I'm doing my part to save lives, and most people in the industry are here to do it too.
I hope you find something you want to do. I had the feeling I didn't want to "write code all day". I decided that meant for me that I didn't want a coding job, despite, as people say, the coding being only a small proportion of a day's activities.
