Modern Workforce
Health care, medicine, and medical technology is becoming an increasingly important factor in the nation's economy. Participation and achievement in science is also becoming increasingly important.
Who Hires?
Spurred by the every increasing need and demands recruiters and employers everywhere are screaming for qualified staff, especially in the medical and pharmaceutical industry, and allied health services.

Many of us feel, as Kegan (1994) putS it, "in over our heads" as we strive to "balance" our life domains.
