Someone recently expressed to me that they were worried about genotyping having a negative impact on their career because people wouldn't want to hire people with pending ailments which would harm their bottom line by increasing insurance costs or loss of productivity due to illness.
But to my eyes, it's really about responsibility. Do we ignore that we might have health problems and hope for the best? Or do we do something about it and prevent those health problems? If we take care of ourselves, we'll have better careers and stay healthy healthy and productive longer, maybe indefinitely. If we don't, that's when it becomes a problem, whether companies will see it that way or not, and I believe they will see that everyone has some impending ailment, we all age and we all get this stuff. So naturally, it is always the best practice for smart business men to hire those people who actively seek greater health and longevity. Let's face it, staying young, delaying aging, the stuff we do b/c we like it and want it, that makes us as a community valuable. I think I'll be adding my extensive health improvements to my resume and perhaps devoting a section to it.
What does the health and/or genomics section of your resume look like?
