Medical Malpractice

HIM or Health Care Administration what does each entail and what are the differences? 10 points!?

I recently visited with a counselor at the school i'm going to. I want to become a hospital administrator eventually, so that means a HCA (Health Care Administration) degree would be better. She insisted that I get a degree in HIM (Health Information Managment) because it would give me a better job outlook in the medical field (i.e. Medical Coding or Director of an HIM department), but that means the salary of the job would be much lower and I wouldn't have the degree to become a hospital administrator. Then she presented me with the option of a double major in HIM and HCA , but that would require me to take an additional 26 credit hours which is around another full year (5 years total). I would be open to either degree or both degrees. Please help me and feel free to correct the counselor. 10 Points to the best answer!!! Thank you
