What are Health Administrators daily tasks?

I want a job in healthcare but don't know what exactly it is that I want to do.

I was thinking nursing but I don't know. I started looking at health administration because I hear it's similar to business and accounting, something I also love.

So someone please tell me what they do and their daily tasks. How is schooling for this? Am I able to travel? And their salary?

    Healthcare is a hot area right now and the projections are that health-oriented workers are going to be in demand. But like many fields, health care is a broad terms and encompasses many aspects, such as nursing, management, medical assistance, geriatrics, pediatrics, etc. Another hot area is accounting, which is always in demand. If you like it and major in accounting, you may want to seek employment with a CPA firm that audits health organizations such as hospitals and nursing homes.

    Here is a true scenario:

    Anna is a good student majoring in [nursing], [economics], [marketing] with good grades, graduates and gets a good job with a large large. Anna works hard, advances, and in four years gets promoted to management level X.

    Mila is a good student majoring in accounting and earns good grades, graduates and gets a good job with a large CPA firm that audits hospitals. Mila works hard auditing the firm's clients and after two years on the job gets an offer from one of the hopitals to take a job at management level X. That is what accounting experience does; you advance at twice the rate of other majors. Alternatively, MIla may decline the job offer and remain in accounting reaching partnership level in 8-10 years.
