I Like Soup Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 7 out of the 16 are medical field related, not surprising. I disagree with engineering (sorry Big John). With companies able to hire 4 and 5 engineers from India and China for the price of one here in the States, it doesn't seem to equate to a good future for that vocation. How about civil engineering or some such? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Front Row Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Electrician. Among the trades, this is my favorite. You're less likely to ruin your back or knees than are carpenters or plumbers. And demand for electricians is likely to grow faster than for other trades because of our increasingly electrified world. Another plus is that this career, like most trades, is highly resistant to being offshored to low-cost countries like China. Formal training usually involves a paid four-year apprenticeship combining community college training with on-the-job, supervised practice. Good info here .

I still don't see it as stable. 1260699[/snapback] Think it depends upon which flavor of engineering you prefer. I believe that biomedical and bioengineering are going to still be strong here from quite some time. As a former chemical engineer, I would be worried.

Czarina Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I'm surprised to see the Speech/OT/PT entries as low as they are, frankly. Occupational and Physical therapy are booming fields. What's great about them is they offer such a wide range of populations to work with from young children to the elderly. Schools, hospitals, private practice...it's wide open. High demand is generally bringing signing bonuses too. If only I'd have known this 15 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 If I was becoming a medical person of some kind, I'd specialize in older people. With the boomers likely to live longer and so many of them, that field will be a license to print money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiegie Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 HEY!!!! Come on! Gynecologist has gotta be on that list SOMEWHERE! 1262555[/snapback] Being a gynecologist in 1965 would have made the top-10 for sure as the wave of baby-boomers would have just started hitting 20 years old or so and you could be sure to have a steady inflow of young attractive baby-boomer women as patients for the next two decades or so. Becoming a gynecologist in 2006 as the wave of baby-boomer women is just starting to hit age 60 would make it seem less attractive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czarina Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I know anecdotal evidence isn't that reliable, but if the Huddle is a microcosm of society, there's a helluva lotta babies being born now. And I know a few folks in 'real life' who are pregnant right now too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wirehairman Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Civil Engineering. 1261339[/snapback] Every civil engineering firm in the state (MT) is advertising. Our firm has advertised twice in the last year and can't hardly get a resume, let alone a qualified applicant. I can only imagine it is an even tougher market in large urban areas that are experiencing way more growth than we are here in the sticks.
