As we all know the last three years have re-shaped the American economy, and obviously have had a profound impact on the job market. But it’s not just the Recession that is changing how we think about career paths: long term and on-going trends in Globalization are slowly but surely rendering once secure jobs and viable careers obsolete. Even the proudest traditional jobs from the previous century may simply not exist by the end of the decade.
With this in mind it can be a distressing time to enter the work-force or search for a new career, but there is no need for distress. Experts agree that some career paths are disappearing; others are expanding at unprecedented speeds. Chief among growth industries is Medical.
According to CNBC all five jobs with the highest expected additional positions in 2011 are in medical field. Not only are these jobs in demand they also have the highest average salaries, with surgeons topping the list at $219,000 annually. So while the world is definitely changing it remains true that one sure-fire way to make money is to pursue a career in medicine.
Due to the recently passed health care law the country will need an influx of Health-Care providers in the coming years, as demand for primary care increases. Since it is estimated that, according to the Congressional Budget Office, almost forty million people will be added to insurance roles in the next decade, this is a career path that is guaranteed not to grow stale no matter how the economy behaves.
One option to consider is the Home Nurse, which requires only a two-year nursing program degree and a compassionate disposition. The Home Nurse is part of a particularly rich subset of Health-Care known as Elder-Care, which is sure to be in increasing demand as the population continues to age. This includes things like Physical Therapist and Occupational Therapist, as well as many others. Though not on the list of high income jobs a personal trainer salary can be comfortable enough for some.
One thing is for certain, in the new economy people are not going to stop using computers. As they are essential for every business and will, no doubt, continue to be. It stands to reason that Information Technology is an excellent field for 2011 and experts say it will only continue to grow.
