Read on for some surprising results...

    The post Best careers for 2010 appeared first on Keppie Careers.

    ]]>     Last year at about this time, I noted that The Associated Press reported, “It’s a big economy; 350 million people — there’s always going to be people hiring.” True enough, but if you were one of the 15.4 Americans out of work, it might not have seemed like such a big economy.

    Do Your Research

    Every job seeker should keep an eye on his or her industry and make plans for the future with an informed outlook. It’s a good idea to set a Google alert for organizations and fields of interest to you so you’ll be aware when there are newsworthy ups and downs in your market. Clearly, there are trends in industries. While there are no guarantees (even some government workers – traditionally thought immune from layoffs – have been under the gun), keeping an eye on these surveys and data should help direct those seeking career change make their plans.

    You also want to see how predictions hold out year-over-year. For example, last year, I reported that the health care sector was expected to expand, as were opportunities in green energy organizations. These continue to be fields that make the growth lists. In fact, U.S. News reports that healthcare did expand its payrolls in 2009, though “not at the clip customary for a healthier economy.”

    U.S. News notes, “Sometimes, a recession shows you that the best jobs aren’t the ones that grab headlines or dazzle strangers. Rather, they’re the ones that offer a stable paycheck and a little satisfaction at the end of the day.” Excellent point. You may be surprised by some of the professions on this list.

    The most interesting surprise on the list for me? “Employment of security system installers is forecast to jump 25 percent between 2008 and 2018.” Hmm…Clearly the fact that we are feeling less than secure has an upside for some professions!”

    Here is U.S. News & World Report’s list of top jobs for 2010, broken down by categories considered promising growth fields:

    Science and Technology

    Health care

    Education and Civic

    Business and Finance

    Creative and Service

    Be sure to review U.S. News’ entire, informative article outlining the various opportunities and their methodology.
