If you currently have your job searching hat on, the best place to look is in the tech field where there’s a great shortage of experienced talent. Companies are looking to replace retiring baby boomers with computer rockstars and professors that can teach them the skills to become one. Long hours at the job and sitting at a desk all day will also create a huge need for health-care workers to take care of all those aging pains.
Here’s the list of the 10 fastest-growing occupations for college-educated workers and their growth potential through 2014.
1. Network systems and data communications analyst (54.6%)
2. Physician assistant (49.6%)
3. Computer software engineer, applications (48.4%)
4. Computer software engineer, systems software (43.0%)
5. Network and computer systems administrator (38.4%)
6. Database administrator (38.2%)
7. Physical therapist (36.7%)

And you’re telling me now? Should have studied IT
I’m surprised physician assistant is so high on that list. Wonder how much they get paid?
I hope a blue screen of death appears on that screen. ;D
“3. Computer software engineer, applications (48.4%)”
Its pretty much an occupation where they always need workers and you’ll be the one ending up with the aches and pains. Can’t say I enjoy doing that kind of work.
i wouldn’t mind heading towards networking for my next job
Wow, thats pretty awesome, options 3 4 and 5 is a easy field for lots of people that i know.
if i pursued a career in IT i think i wouldve killed myself by now
physical therapy baby!

I’m doing straight degree in IT @ Griffith University so no problems.
At least it’s not lawyers.
i’m surprised nursing isn’t up there. it’s in high demand, especially for male nurses.
