Health Aide majors need many skills, but most especially Social Perceptiveness. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that Health Aide majors need more than the average amount of Service Orientation, Social Perceptiveness, and Coordination.

Toggle between "value" and "RCA" to see the absolute rating of that skill (value) and the revealed comparative advantage (RCA), or how much greater or lesser that skill's rating is than the average. The longer the bar or the closer the line comes to the circumference of the circle, the more important that skill is. The importance of Service Orientation is very distinctive for majors, but the Social Perceptiveness, Monitoring, and Service Orientation are the three most important skills for people in the field.
