Many of the jobs predicted to be the most available between now and 2016 require specialized skills.
But, given the high cost of a four-year college degree, the good news is that many of the high-growth occupations call for only a two-year associate’s degree, vocational training, or an apprenticeship.
Laurence Shatkin, author of a series of books about the job market, recently released Best Jobs Without a Four-Year Degree, that features many jobs, particularly in health care and technology, that are expected to need workers.
For workers without bachelor’s degrees, here’s his list of the top ten opportunities with high growth potential:
Veterinary technologists and technicians
Medical assistants
Social and human service assistants
Physical therapist assistants
Environmental science and protection technicians
Preschool teachers (except special education preschool)
Environmental engineering technicians
Court reporters
Bill and account collectors
Postsecondary vocational education teachers
Note the specialization inherent in each field. These are not unskilled jobs. And, with the exception of bill collecting, it’s unlikely that only a high school diploma would be sufficient, particularly in a competitive job market.
As President Barack Obama noted in his first big address to the joint session of Congress, the nation’s community colleges and trade schools have the available courses to prepare workers for jobs that are needed to rebuild the U.S. economy.
Greeting. Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that you live, if you do.
