Growth Jobs in the NEW Economy
So much has changed in so little time regarding America’s growth careers. Not so long ago, newspaper reporters, online retailers, auto workers, and retail managers were all hot prospects. That was before last September. When the economy crashed, it completely rewrote the book on where the career possibilities are. As newspapers went out of business, as banks folded, as auto makers teetered on the brink of bankruptcy, more and more young people wondered: Can I still find a worthwhile job in this economy, and make decent money?
The answer: An unqualified “Yes.” True, the hot job prospects have changed, but they are out there for the person who is willing to train him or herself for that career. In fact, the U.S. Department of Labor has released their 2008-09 Occupational Outlook Handbook. In it, they outline 30 job possibilities that still hold much promise, even in a devastating recession. Let’s consider 10 of the more interesting ones.
i really do hope that the economy picks up faster, but until then we all have to adjust our thinking and change out strategy
You aren’t the only one! I think we may be in for a long haul though – unfortunately. There are lots of industries that are booming – health care and education are both doing very well and can’t get enough staff – and there are others. I think something that has really changed with this downturn is that everyone has to have more education right across the board.
people should be willing to get the necessary training in order to be employable in this downturn economy. dont look for jobs that fit your training. train for the jobs that are available
There are 4 separate times each year where the online law degreeAdmission Check is kept. It will be essential for someone who has an interest in law school to work on applying for the LSAT check because law schools may have a great degree of respect for that LSAT.
Thanks for the info – see our LSAT Study Guide here.
I recently graduated from college with a degree in engineer and computer software. These days even with the recent jump in technology it is still hard to get a job with the shape our economy is in. America is slowly building back up the economy but it will still take a while before we are completely back to where we were before last September. I have noticed that a lot of the past hot jobs have took a turn for the worse due to the economy crash, but a lot of them are slowly back on the rise and more and more jobs are becoming available. The job opportunities are still there as long as you have the ambition to actually get out there and learn the job skills for the job they are in pursuit of. It takes the initiative of that individual to be able to jump on that train and get the jobs that they have dreamed of all of their lives. I agree that the Occupational Handbook is a great piece of reference material because it has job listings that happened to still be promising even with the economy in a slump. The jobs are out there you just have to do some research to find the right one for you.
