Yes, if you want great pay, benefits, and always have a job? Get into PACs administration. Essentially it's an IT guy who manages the image management servers in a hospital. They help store move and back up CT scans, MRI images, X-rays, and ultrasound scans. On top of that once you get good you can start helping developing the interface between the imaging device to medical records you can make 150k plus easy. There is a huge shortage in the PACs field

Doesn't sound to shabby. Are you with them currently? I'll need to acquire experience in a smaller environment before I go into something that big. Seems like all of the big companies want the one stop IT guy which I feel is highly not highly attainable.

All you need is a solid background in IT and database management. If you understand HL7 you'll get a job in under 30 days of looking. HL7 is the language all medical equipment use to communicate with databases, electronic medical records, and different servers. HL7 is easy to learn if you want to. They always hire entry level guys and mentor / train them to move up. Do some research online to see what other credentials will help you obtain this type of position. TRUST ME YOU WONT GO WRONG. I interface with the PACs team all the time in my line of work. I just don't understand why more IT guys don't go this route. There are hospitals in every dam city in the USA, great pay, great benefits, great job security, and not as hard to get into as you would think.

PAC = Picture Archive Center
PAC's= Picture Archive Center Systems
MIA= Medical Image Archive
They all mean the same shit diff people call them diff things. They are all admin jobs-
HL7 is the language all medical equipment use to communicate with other systems at a facility. Google info on it tuns out there-
Go to engineeringjobs dot com and search for PAC admin / it jobs. You can see what they ask for to qualifying for the position. Keep in mind they always request many many qualifications, but this is a wish list don't be intimidated. Compare several jobs and understand the industry basic reqs and go from there.
