CareerCast.com published a very interesting report regarding the 10 best jobs in America of 2010. If you are trying to figure out what career to pursue, one of the best things you can do is learn what jobs are in demand.
I really love these best jobs lists. Not only do they provide a snapshot view of job demand, but they also give insights into the future of our economy.
Another great thing about the CareerCast.com report is that it does not just measure hiring opportunities. Instead it looks at all of the following:
- physical demands
- work environment
- income
- stress
- hiring outlook
I love the following statement from CareerCast.com,
top careers in the Jobs Rated report typically don't stand out as the most glamorous, highest paying or most noble. Instead, they are the jobs that offer the greatest chance of enjoying a combination of good health, low stress, a pleasant workplace, solid income and strong growth potential.
To me this seems like the perfect type of job to look for.
10 Best Jobs for 2010
1. Actuary
2. Software Engineer
3. Computer Systems Analyst
4. Biologist
5. Historian
6. Mathematician
7. Paralegal Assistant
8. Statistician
9. Accountant
10. Dental Hygienist
I was shocked to see an historian on the list. I did not realize that there was a lot of hiring opportunities in this field. But, that is the cool thing about lists like these - you learn about career opportunities that you never thought of before.
I encourage you to go read the actual report from CareerCast.com - Jobs Rated: The 10 Best Jobs of 2010. Also, if you want to read another list, I wrote an article last year about another jobs survey - Top 50 Jobs in United States.
Do you work in any of these jobs? If you do, please leave a comment and share your thoughts about your job.
