10 promising professions for the future
Entry Level Industrial Mechanics and Engineers (Growth: 63,100 / Median Salary: $59,840). Salaries for skilled industrial workers are relatively low, but there is a catch - a high school education with vocational courses is sufficient for these positions: Lawyers (Growth: 80,200 / Median Salary: $127,990); Auditors and Accountants (Growth: 81,800 / Median Salary: $77,250); Heavy Truck Drivers (Growth: 90,900 / Median Salary: $48,310). The lowest salary in the top ten, but to get this job, any education plus the rights of the corresponding category and a number of mandatory certifications are enough. Healthcare Managers (Growth: 136,200 / Median Salary: $101,340).
As you know, doctors are needed at all times. The same applies to managers who are able to organize the work of medical professionals.
CFOs (Growth: 123,100 / Median Salary: $131,710)
Marketing and Analytics Specialists (Growth: 150,300 / Median Salary: $63,920)
Again, salaries in this field are not that high, but in order to get a similar job, a bachelor's degree in a specialized specialty is enough. Registered nurses (Growth: 195,400 / Median salary: $77,600). The work of a nurse is hard and requires certification, but the salary is decent and there is always a demand for specialists!
General Managers (Growth: 209,800 / Median Salary: $97,970)
Software Developers (Growth: 370,600 / Median Salary: $120,730)
And of course, programmers come first today and tomorrow. Mass layoffs of IT specialists are a gift for small businesses. The wave of layoffs that swept through the high-tech sector became manna from heaven for dozens and hundreds of small companies. And for many specialists, the dismissal, oddly enough, gave impetus to creating their own business. Over the past two weeks, Twitter, Salesforce, Meta and Lyft have laid off up to 150,000 employees, largely IT workers. And Amazon and Apple, in turn, announced that they would stop recruiting new employees. But fortunately, these people will not have to sit on savings for too long and look for a new job. Some of them - those people who want to find a “safe haven” during changes - are immediately “recruited” by small companies that previously experienced great difficulties in hiring sufficiently highly qualified specialists at a reasonable price. For example, the gaming company Monomi Park immediately began a campaign to hire laid-off IT workers.
The other part of people, as they say, use lemon to make lemonade - take the maximum risk and start their own business. The market is ready for this - in particular, the investment company Day One Ventures is offering $100,000 in initial investment to former IT specialists and new businessmen who will implement one of the 20 business ideas approved by the company. And according to PitchBook, venture capitalists are ready to invest a total of $290 billion in startups.
