50 Best Careers

Hey all....I just ran across a great article from US News and World Report about the Best 50 Jobs for the next decade. It focuses on careers with above average pay and above average job growth through the next decade. It divides these careers into five categories. Great for high school students. Pass along to every high school student you might be working with. Click HERE for the article. Any comments?

Career Exploration and the Occupational Outlook Handbook

For Career Planners, nothing can be more important that Career Exploration. I consider the exploration process to be the most important part of finding the right path. It is like gift shopping when you don't know what to buy. The more you look the more likely something is to jump out at you and say, "This is it!" The best career exploration tool I have ever found is the US Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook. It is the most comprehensive listing of careers and has follow up info that will show career planners/explorers what the career is all about and how to get there. See www.bls.gov/OCO and let me know what you think.
