What are the best jobs for the 21st Century?

The best jobs will depend very much on your perspective, but for the purposes of this article, we’ll have a look at an overview of the job market as a starting point. However, in later articles, we’ll approach the question from different angles.

Overall , the top jobs involve education to degree level, that is 3 or 4 years of college and many of them require a high level of technical knowledge and skill – hardly surprising with the speed at which technology is involving. In fact, around 50% of the top jobs involve computing.

It’s important for everyone to learn the basics. So, whatever your area of interest, you should be able to use wordprocessing packages, email and the internet at the very least. If you want to specialise in computing, read up on the different jobs available and take some basic classes to find

out what you enjoy and where your aptitude

lies.

Most children will be comfortable with many aspects of technology, having grown up with computers both in school and at home. So if you are lagging behind – get your kids to teach you the basics. And if you don’t have kids, high school or college students will probably give you reasonable tuition rates.

Jobs within health care and service industries are also high on the list. Within these careers and industrial sectors are the jobs with the best rates of pay and perhaps more importantly in a world with few jobs for life, ones with most growth and significant new openings.

So if you’re a computer whiz and want to earn plenty, systems analyst or computer engineer, programmer or support specialist would be good career moves. Jobs in computing extend to almost every sector and so if you have an interest in health, education or any other area, you should be able to use your computer skills in a field which attracts you.

Top jobs in health care include doctor, nurse, physician’s assistant in the US, social workers, dentists and dental assistants.

With everyone requiring more and more education and training, education is another field which is experiencing growth, particular at secondary and university level and in special needs education.
