Hot Jobs of ….2018!

Mind you, I have a hard time thinking about the next 3-6 months, let alone 7 years from now. Yikes! But, if you are 18, and just graduating from high school, or a parent of the same, then this is some serious dinner table conversation.

This morning, The Wall Street Journal (WJS) ran an article titled, What Will Be the HOt Jobs of 2018? I’m going out on a limb and saying I would of never picked some of these jobs, or I’d probably not have the grades! But, according to the Labor Department’s 10-year forecast in the Occupational Outlook Handbook, here’s the top ones: (and their percentage of growth)

  • Biomedical engineers  72%
  • Network Systems analysts  53%
  • Home health aides  50%
  • Personal and home-care aides  46%
  • Financial examiners  41%
  • Medical scientists  40%
  • Physician assistants  39%
  • Skin-care specialists  38%
  • Biochemists and biophysicists  37%
  • Athletic trainers  37%

So, what’s for dinner? It’s gonna be a pretty heavy conversation based on those careers!
