Jobs that need to be filled?

Basicially, I want to know specific jobs that are in need of more people (so it'd be easier to job hunt after college, I'm in high school right now).


Example: Architects are wanted more than ever right now because of the population growth and the need of housing. [I made this up.]





If it matters, I plan to live in Chicago, IL. I'm not interested in the medical field at all nor am I strong in mathematics, but feel free to tell me anything you can think of. The pay should be... decent? I'm not sure what decent is, but I'm guessing around 30k.





And don't put down any 12 hour, labor jobs please (ie. Construction). I'm not going waste all my schooling just so I can break my back. Also, please don't say anything such as, "you should get into a job you're passionate about." Thing is, I don't know what I like, so I'm exploring. Thank you for reading and thank you very much if you decide(d) to answer.

Reply:Get a nice, general degree, like a Bachelor of Arts. This will open up a lot of doors. You won't necessarily find work in an area you study in, either. I did a degree and now work in a completely different field because I like manual labour jobs. I chose to do a job like this because I don't like stress.





Keep your options open.
Reply:Whatever you do, I suggest going to college for more than four years, get a Masters in something, if not a higher degree. Unless you get a bachelors in some kind of egineering. Engineering is good stuff.





Other than all that; if you dont know what you're passionate about then what do you like to do with your free time? What would you like to do, what would be interesting to do? What would be intersting to learn more about? What do you daydream about doing? There's an infinate list of careers, but you just asked an infinate amount of people what to do; and we've never met you.





Video game design, acting, writing, electrical engineering, architecture, etc.





By the way, Einstein wasn't good at math. So, think less of what your stong suites are and think more of what you wouldn't mind doing for the rest of your life.
Reply:Its hard to get by on 30k.....have you considered a job in law enforcement maybe as a police officer, probation or corrections officer. Depending on the state, the salary and benefits can be decent. But you should be drug free and have good ethics. I am in this field and make over $50,000 a year.
Reply:You must be living in an off reality world. Because I know college graduates with bachelor's degrees flipping burgers at McDonald's because the job market just isn't happening with some brilliant louse out sourcing the jobs to India because it's cheaper. At this point, I would seriously recommend going into law enforcement. Plenty of jobs there for an over acheiver looking to climb as fast as his/her skills can take them.

try it once and best of luck
Reply:See your school's career counselor. 30k is not "decent" today. I made that 19 years ago fresh into graduate school (as a graduate assistant) in the midwest. Set your sites higher. You'll only go as far as you dream. Good luck.
Reply:Since you are still in high school you might want to consider a college that allows you to take your required courses first before declaring a major in your second or third year. You could have a chance to learn about many different subjects and perhaps find one you like best.





If you have a few career paths you are interested in, contact some professionals in your community and see if you can "shadow" them for a few days. You'd get a chance to see first hand what people in this profession do on a regular basis and if it is something you could see yourself doing for many years.





I disagree with the statement about not taking a job you are passionate about. When my husband went to school for computer programming in the late 1980's everyone told him he was making a mistake, there were too many people in the profession, etc. Well, it's how many years later, he still loves what he does, is working in the computer programming field and makes a nice salary.
