There are scores of people who work daily to research, develop, install and troubleshoot these technological tools. Computer software engineering and related fields will be increasingly needed. Two other well-regarded careers are network systems analysts and data communications analysts. Another career area that is sure to grow is healthcare. In healthcare there is plenty of variety and opportunity. Hospitals and clinics will be seeking therapists and assistants as well as athletic trainers. Counseling is another career area that usually requires a specialized degree and could be in demand. Many healthcare jobs require advanced education, but there are many opportunities available for careers that don't. Although the job outlook appears dark now, there is still reason to be optimistic. A number of industries and service areas could see growth in the rebounding economy. Education is the key to getting a job in any of these areas.
