There are a lot of things you need to consider before choosing a job.  Aside from knowing what your skills, , interests, and career objectives are, you’ll also have to consider some external factors when you’re looking for that perfect job.  Some of things that could influence your choice would be your expected monthly salary, your office’s location, as well as what your family and friends might think about your prospective job.  Besides these,  you’ll also need to take ever-changing industry trends into account when you’re finally making a career choice.

Listed are just some of the current trends you need to know when you’re in the middle of choosing the right career:

1. Baby Boomers in Retirement

To date, most of the U.S. population is constituted of older individuals about to reach retirement age.  This will ultimately cause an increase in the number of elders needing medical and personal care.  As such, the medical or health care industry has been experiencing tremendous growth in terms of employment.  As a matter of fact, in 2006 alone, this industry provided 14 million jobs across America.

2. Advances and Development in Medical Research

Advancements in technology have given way to specialized treatments and drugs that can beat viruses, diseases, and infections better than ever.    With these developments, the industry needs competent medical workers who  are well-versed in the industry’s newest drugs and can work efficiently with high-tech medical equipment for the benefit of their patients.   All this has increased the demand for more pharmacists, biologists and medical therapists to provide better care to patients all over the country.

3. Wide use of Technology

People all over the globe have been highly reliant on computers and technology for personal and business purposes.  Companies have also invested millions of dollars in keeping up with technological advances to help them reach more consumers, serve their clients even better, and survive the competition in the market.  With these demands, more and more IT specialists are hired by companies.  There is an expected 16 percent growth in employment for IT workers until the year 2016, as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics.  The hottest jobs in IT now are IT specialists, computer & network engineers and technical support people.

Make these trends not just factors that can influence your career choice.  These can also be your guides in knowing what your professional niche might be.  Weigh all your personal and external factors well so that in the end, you know that the career you’ve chosen for yourself is one that you want the most.

My Ancestors Discovered America asked:


If you’re worried that an illegal immigrant will take your job then you have been out-competed, period. You should have never assumed that you were entitled to your job and should have always been trying to get more education. Pursue a career that has a stronger tolerance to uneducated immigrants simply taking it from you. If you’re worried about your children then make sure they get advanced degrees, i.e. accounting + cpa, electrical engineering + mba. It’s getting sickening to hear everyone complaining about something they obviously cannot stop. Illegal immigration supports big and small businesses and they control America so stop whining and figure out a way to compete. That should be the word of the 21st century: Competition. America out-competed the rest of the world for their resources for hundreds of years (by hook and crook) and now the rest of the world is taking it back one low paying job at-a-time. If you’re the slowest runner in the race then you’re the loser. No one wants to hear you complain about how some faster Indian runner got into the race illegally. Of course the competition organizers know that but the Indian runner brings in the fans which raises ticket revenue and that’s all that matters. Besides, here’s the silver lining, these Mexican immigrants won’t be taking your jobs for very long because they are going to make sure their children go to college and get advanced degrees so you won’t be able to complain about someone taking your job: you or your children will have never have had it to begin with. And please, save your vitriol for someone who cares, I couldn’t care less if I was your state’s representative in Congress.
I think for whatever the reason that many people don’t like illegal immigrants or those whom they see different, it shouldn’t be the reason to deny their human rights.

Find Chiropractic Careers in the United States and Canada. Common chiropractic careers include doctors of chiropractic or chiropractic physicians. These professional fields of holistic healthcare require a substantial amount of education and training.

Applicants interested in chiropractic careers will find that there are various chiropractic schools across North America offering extensive curriculums in human anatomy, chiropractic theory and application, biochemistry, physiology, microbiology, pathology and radiology. In most instances, students that are pursuing chiropractic careers will discover that most chiropractic colleges require a minimum of 4,200 class, clinical and laboratory hours; in addition to educational prerequisites equivalent to a 4-year degree. Typically, chiropractic careers can only be entered once all educational and state requirements have been met; in addition to licensure and annual continuing education courses.

Chiropractic careers are as individual as the professional practitioner. Some doctors of chiropractic go onto attaining specialized postdoctoral training in pathological subjects such as pediatrics, neurology, orthopedics and other related studies. In addition, chiropractic physicians may work independently, in partnerships with other chiropractic doctors or in integrated medical clinics with conventional doctors and/or massage therapists.

As a progressive line of work, candidates pursuing chiropractic careers can anticipate promising professional options. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, “employment is expected to increase faster than average as consumer demand for alternative health care grows.” Depending on education, experience and reputation, professionals working in chiropractic careers can expect lucrative earning potential as well. While “median annual earnings of salaried chiropractors were $69,910 in May 2004,”[1] salaries in chiropractic careers can be as high as $118k annually.

Matt Weiss asked:


Everyone loves to **** the advertising industry. The TV show “Mad Men” portrays the heyday of advertising as a men’s club of gin-swilling, secretary-exploiting, self-satisfied white men who live in Connecticut and work in a bubble surrounded by dim-witted, loyal clients.

I beg to differ. My job is to bring in new business to the agency — in my case, McCann Erickson, New York, which produces work for Intel, MasterCard, the U.S. Army, Verizon Wireless, L’Oreal, Staples, Weight Watchers and other leading global advertisers.

Advertising might not be as exciting as Man vs. Wild or the NFL playoffs, but it does provide a career path that is more stimulating than Wall Street or the law or many white collar professions. Advertising is a unique combination of art, creativity, mathematics, industrial psychology, marketing, media and a host of other disciplines.

Here are seven more reasons to jump into a career in advertising:

You can get a film deal. OK, I’m exaggerating, but only slightly. But the creative environment of advertising does provide a career path to Hollywood for dozens of writers and directors every year, from Michael Bay to the guys who directed the “Cavemen” spots for Geico. The vest advertising is better than most of the movies and TV shows out there, and you can get paid accordingly. Until you can write screenplays for Steve Carrell or create the next “South Park,” you’ll be having more fun than should be legal. Be the next Steve Jobs. The crazy-ass idea you have for faxing burgers or filling up your car online might just happen tomorrow. The world of advertising, media, the Internet and technology is changing so fast that no one can predict what will happen next month, let alone 10 years from now. You can change the world. (And it beats changing diapers.) Be an outlaw. Renegade thinking and behavior is rewarded. Are you quirky and full of weird ideas? Are you innovative, prone to breaking rules, and feel you always see the world differently than your friends and colleagues? You’ll fit in perfectly at an ad agency. This is not your parents’ career. Advertising is a youthful business, for people in their 20s and 30s. Your youth is valuable because you are talking to your peers. You can text your friends in a meeting and it will be cool. You’ll never be bored. You actually get paid to surf the net, look at YouTube, talk about “the Office,” diss Britney and Paris, and discuss “American Idol.” You’re involved in every aspect of popular culture. You’ll think on your feet. Your lawyer friends will be sick with envy. You will never have to attend a conference in Brussels. Leave the suits at your parents’ house. The uniform for creatives is t-shirt and jeans. Even the “suits”-the account people-don’t wear suits any more, because they are expected to be an integral part of the creative process. In the summer, you can even wear sandals or flip flops. And there are keg parties on Fridays. Seriously. You’ll be on TV. Your work will be in the world. Your Mom, your boyfriend or girlfriend, your posse, your kids, they will all see what you do. If it’s good work, people will be talking about your work on the subway, on blogs, on TV. Advertising isn’t brain surgery or rocket science, but it makes an impact. You can be a player. And you’ll never have to wear plaid pants or go near a golf course.

Explore Careers in Acupuncture in the United States and Canada. Don’t let needles scare you away from rewarding careers in acupuncture. According to the American Association of Oriental Medicine, professional acupuncturists typically earn $40-$70 per session; but the monetary benefit is not the only reason why students might want to pursue careers in acupuncture…

Based on a unique system of healing and energy healing, acupuncture and Oriental medicine address the body holistically; treating the whole person and not just the symptoms. Though careers in acupuncture do involve specific needling techniques, the method of this system is not nearly as scary as it may sound. Using thin, hair-like needles, licensed acupuncturists insert these precision, healing instruments lightly beneath the skin along the meridians of the body. (*Meridian pathways are “energy channels.”) The philosophy of acupuncture is that when these meridians are stimulated, the flow of “Chi” or “life force” is allowed to flow freely; removing blockages from the meridians (that may be affecting correlating organ systems).

But careers in acupuncture aren’t just about acupuncture…a matter of fact, almost all acupuncture programs teach future practitioners about various therapies that are facilitated as complementary medicine; in addition to acupuncture. Graduates of Oriental medicine programs, who have achieved careers in acupuncture provide complementary treatments like Chinese herbal medicine, acupressure/Shiatsu, Tuina (Chinese medical massage), and nutritional consulting to help in healing.

For students new to the field of alternative medicine, successful careers in acupuncture can be achieved through comprehensive training at one of several acupuncture and Oriental medicine schools and colleges throughout America. Core curricula is comprised of about 3,000 credit hours, and involves training and education in the history and philosophy of Oriental medicine, acupuncture, TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), Chinese herbal medicine, biosciences, anatomy, Tai Chi, Qigong, and clinical internship, among other subject matter. Upon successful completion of all prescribed courses, graduates must attain licensure to practice and to enter careers in acupuncture and Oriental medicine.

If you (or someone you know) are interested in finding careers in acupuncture, let professional training within fast-growing industries like massage therapy, cosmetology, acupuncture, oriental medicine, Reiki, and others get you started! Explore career school programs near you.
