Mmm

It seems like we have too many of these jobs careers to begin with!!

One thing that I noticed that needed to be included is Pscyhology- clinical, research, or counseling. All three are needed and more than likely will be.

Career left off

The reason the police officer job was left off was because it pays very poorly. So that means it isnt one of the best choices. I mean its kinda common sense why they left it off, well at least to a person with common sense

What about teachers?

Don't we need teachers to educate our kids and get them to college so they can choose one of these careers? As always, teachers are overlooked and underappreciated...but at least we have "ghostwriter" on the list...great priorities!

And in 4 years???

I like how these articles say what great careers there are, then in 4 years, that career is off the list, because the fields were swamped or it is no longer in demand. Remember right before the year 2000, the "informed Career Counsielors" were saying that IT programing was going to be hot forwever. Now it is no where to be found on any list.

Umm

I figured an IT Technician or Network Administrator would be on there. Good luck functioning in any modern company without an IT person to back you up somewhere along the way.

Physical Therapist Assistants are over saturated already and that job market is falling off quickly. If your not an actual Physical Therapist expect dramatic drops in salary in the mid-south states.

I second.. Not to mention the cost to obtain a degree.....
