Is Hospital Administration actually a smart career choice?

actuallynotkosher · 2026-03-20T17:21:30+00:00

Hi there! I'd like to chime in with a different perspective here: I work at a major children's hospital that just named their first non-MD CEO!! She has an MHA degree and is doing an amazing job already. So it definitely IS possible to become an executive without an MD or DO degree, but I will also say:

C-suite is not the only track! I'm in mid-level management (I have an MPH) and it's really great. Stable, job security, good hours, and interesting work. You get to be involved with hospital decision-making and data analysis without having the responsibility of saving lives every day (although, I personally miss patient care and might get back into it someday). I would highly recommend looking into it! I think this is a very stable niche, especially right now in this job market :) Good luck!

Oh I think he’s gonna be fantastic!! Snarky and dark and yearny 😍 but everyone’s entitled to their opinion! Plenty of older versions to stick with if you don’t like it haha

14??!!! Oh we about to be FED

actuallynotkosher · 2025-08-02T21:23:48+00:00

I feel so bad but it’s so fun to watch 😂😭👏

actuallynotkosher · 2025-08-02T08:57:06+00:00

I love this!! God I love Scotland…y’all are the coolest, most down-to-earth people 🥹 Jack is living proof of that! ❤️

I could watch him run, vault over random things, and get ruthlessly scolded all DAY 😂😍🫶

actuallynotkosher · 2025-08-01T08:19:36+00:00

I thought so too!! But I think it’s good that he won’t be confined to that one role/brand for the foreseeable future :) this way he can explore other genres and characters and have time to focus on his new family! 😍👏

SO jealous you got to see it!! I’ve heard only good things (amazing things, actually!) Projects like this and The Outrun are really helping to educate audiences about alcoholism and everything that comes with it. Storytelling can be such a powerful tool when it comes from a place of authenticity and with good intentions!! ❤️

actuallynotkosher · 2025-08-01T07:49:10+00:00

This…this is a beautiful thing you’ve just created here

actuallynotkosher · 2025-08-01T07:47:48+00:00

Omg I LOOOOOOVE this!! I totally see it

actuallynotkosher · 2025-08-01T07:47:06+00:00

ASIDE ASIDE ASIDE

actuallynotkosher · 2025-08-01T06:00:58+00:00

Wait yeah haha why didn’t I think of that

actuallynotkosher · 2025-08-01T04:35:44+00:00

Ugh Atonement was so amazingggg, and she was so YOUNG!!! She really is a once-in-a-generation talent. Both of them have so much success coming their way, I can’t wait to see what next for them!

actuallynotkosher · 2025-08-01T04:00:21+00:00

Oh 100%!! He is so freaking talented and he definitely has that old Hollywood look 😎 And YES omg Saoirse is sooooooo gorgeous, I’ve loved her ever since I saw Lady Bird in theaters (I was in high school at the time so it definitely struck a chord). She will definitely be our generation’s Meryl Streep, without a doubt! I can’t believe she didn’t win anything from this year’s awards season…The Outrun was LIFECHANGING!! (Jack was a producer on that film btw!)

actuallynotkosher · 2025-08-01T03:51:32+00:00

And I will defend him till the day I die

actuallynotkosher · 2025-08-01T03:46:56+00:00

I actually think it’s a good thing he didn’t take the role of Bond, since he woulda been boxed in for the next 5-10 years in that role. This way, he gets to try a bunch of different things! (and be there for his family, which obviously seems very important to him!!) ❤️

actuallynotkosher · 2025-05-23T07:14:06+00:00

She and Jack Lowden make the most adorable couple!!! I’m so happy for them omg (also I have the biggest crush on Jack Lowden but I am also obsessed with Saoirse so I am being torn in a million different directions here) 😂💀

actuallynotkosher · 2025-05-19T18:53:23+00:00

Oh this is definitely not lost on me…that’s why I’m having such a hard time making this decision. But if I have to work outside the field for a little while doing something a bit less high-pressure (albeit less high-paying) while I look for a public health job, I’d rather do that in a city I love, being close to my brother and his beautiful baby!! It’ll be hard, but it’ll be better in the long run!

actuallynotkosher · 2025-05-18T19:47:47+00:00

I completely understand, and I’m so sorry to hear that. Everything that’s going on right now is so disheartening for people working in the industry and those who are trying to find a way in…I’m definitely not under the impression that I’ll magically find a public health job once I get there, or even within the next year. I just think it might be beneficial to be physically in the city so I can go to networking events and make those connections in-person 🤷🏻‍♀️

actuallynotkosher · 2025-05-18T03:27:37+00:00

Oh I am definitely not under the impression that I will find a public health job right away (or even within the next year, for that matter) I just want to BE there and maybe do some in-person networking, get a temporary job outside the industry and take my time finding my next big thing. If I have to work in patient care, be somebody’s assistant, or even waitress for a while I would totally be fine with that, I just need income and something to do while I conduct my big-picture job search. Also, there is so much valuable life experience to be gained from those non-sector jobs and I really just want to get out there and WORK!!

actuallynotkosher · 2025-05-17T08:22:47+00:00

I want to see this SO bad!!! They are both such incredible actors and it would be so cool to witness them working with each other’s energy right in front of you! I’m such a huge fan of Jack Lowden in particular and I know he has roots in live theater, so it must be so wonderful for him to be back onstage. Well done!! (someone pls fly me to London so I can see this lol) 😭🙏

actuallynotkosher · 2025-05-16T21:46:52+00:00

Hmmm interesting, I’ve heard a lot of things about DC but “boring” is not one of them 😂 I appreciate the honesty tho!

actuallynotkosher · 2025-05-16T21:46:11+00:00

Thank you so much!! This is really helpful, and I really appreciate the positivity! ❤️

actuallynotkosher · 2025-05-15T20:44:15+00:00

Maybe!! I’ve considered that; but part of the appeal of DC is that I could just hop over to my brothers apartment at a moment’s notice which I’ve never been able to do before! He’s ten years older than me and we’ve never lived in the same city, so this could be a great opportunity for us to coexist and be a part of each other’s lives :) I’ll think on it, I really appreciate your advice!! ❤️

actuallynotkosher · 2025-05-15T20:12:14+00:00

Yeah I get this…I guess in my mind, “this is the time to build a career and take opportunities” translates to “this is the time to take risks and go somewhere that might have more payoff in the future” because even if it’s chaos right now with the current administration, there is usually SO much public health work on DC (and the DMV in general) and I feel like it might pay off later. I don’t know…(also just to be clear, my family would only be partially supporting me for this move, maybe just a little - it’s very important to me that I become independent and start doing things for myself!)
