8 great careers for the future

I read this article on Yahoo in which they discuss 8 career paths that are expected to continue growing in demand. The data is from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and they expect the government spending to help stimulate the growth of these industries.

There will always be trends in jobs and I think that should be taken with a grain of salt, but it is a good idea to take a look at the career path you have planned and make sure it will be around in the future. Are you going to school to be a VCR technician?

According to the BoLS, these are some of the best jobs for the future…

1. Computer Security Specialists/Network Administrators
