Well with the influx of bad news that have been coming in lately, it’s good to know that there is some good info. Well at least if you are studying in the fields of Health Care, Engineering and Energy. So those of you on sharenotes.com that happen to be eyeing careers in these feilds, take heart. Apparently even in this terrible environment with people out of work virtually everywhere, there are still great jobs that are out there.
It has become increasingly difficult to fill these positions, some of which starting between 50-60K a year plus benefits. Not bad. The problem is that employers are finding it hard to find people who are qualified to fill the positions. Nurses for instance are hard to find apparently. So hard in fact that some some companies are actually sending out recruiters to match companies with qualified workers.
It might sound crazy to think of recruiters searching out employees with the unemployment rates hovering somewhere around 10, its happening. Right now. The problem of course is just because people are out of work, does not mean that those same people are qualified to be a nurse or a engineer. Its always going to be hard to know exactly where to place your bets. Career paths that were flourishing 5 years ago, may be saturated or non existent today. As college students when we begin our path to a career, it could be years before we actually start. Who knows how good the choice will be once we’ve graduated.
So to all those future nurses, engineers and energy specialists currently studying away. Have faith, looks like the jobs are there for you. At least for now. As for the rest of us studying for the myriad different professions in this world, the jury is still out. If anyone else on sharenotes.com would like to discuss the prospects of your chosen paths, please leave your comments below.
