Careers for the Next Decade

Careers for the Next Decade Many people are reconsidering their lifes work during this recession.   Kiplinger has a great article on the careers predicted to do well over the next decade.   The author, Marty Nemko, selected the 13 that rank best overall based on these criteria: • Likelihood of Sustaining at Least a Middle-Class Income. This subsumes three factors: likely job growth, income potential and being under the radar (so theres less competition for jobs). • Socially Redeeming. There may be jobs, for example, as casino managers and tobacco executives, but such occupations were immediately excluded from consideration. • Quality of Life. Reasonable work hours, freedom from toxic or noisy work environments, and so on. • Status. Most Kiplinger readers will not, for example, be attracted to owning gas stations, even though some gas-station owners make a great deal of money.
