Disapering Jobs

This will only be a worry for seniors, and other people that are choosing their career late, that are deciding to take up a career in the jobs i am soon to list.

In the next decade employment is expected to go up 10 percent, but some professions are actually expected to shrink in jobs. As we high school seniors begin looking for a school we desire to go to and what we would like to major in, we should take some considerations into mind. It would be a good idea research, the field of work you want to get into, a little more to see: what the fastest- growing jobs are, what jobs maybe be disappearing, what those jobs pay, and if there are alternatives for a degree in that field. Although you won't have to worry about going to work for the profession that you are bettering your skills in, it's good to look into it now so that you don't waste thousands of dollars just to stand in the unemployment line because you lost your job.

Here is a list of disappearing jobs that some people may have been thinking of getting into: Reporters and Correspondents, Insurance Underwriters, Computer Programmers, Judges, Chemical Engineers, Advertising and Promotions Managers. Although some of these jobs may not be relevant to you, some of these a lot of people wan to get into.

For Reporters and Correspondents, it is expected that in the next decade they will lose 8 percent of their jobs. The reason for this is the the industry is shrinking because consolidation and convergence. Many news outlets share their content so they have less of a demand for reporters and correspondents. The next best thing is to work for a smaller, local news outlet or become a journalist, either one is better.

For Insurance Underwriters, which i find unimportant, they are expected in the next decade to lose 4 percent of jobs. The reason for this is that technology is becoming better and more efficient and there is less of a demand for and Insurance Underwriter. The next best thing to do is to go into finance, you have more of a chance there.

For Computer Programmers, they are expected in the next decade to lose 3 percent of theirs jobs. To clear this up, the guys who write the software, their jobs are expected to rise 32 percent, while the guys who write the instructions for how to use that computer software, their jobs are the one who are expected to decline 3 percent. The reason for this decline is because there is really no need for these people when the programmer can just do it him self. The next best thing would be, if you knew multiple programming languages and tools that would help you get a good job.

For Judges, they are expected in the next decade to lose 3 percent of their jobs. The whole reason for this is budgets, the federal government, the states, the cities, and towns are all strapped for cash and are slashing judges jobs. The next best thing is to go into the private sector which pays significantly better.

For Chemical Engineers, they are expected in the next decade to lose 2 percent of their jobs. The reason for this is the same as judges, the industries are low on money and need to make cutbacks. Also, companies rather contract engineers or outsource work to English-speaking engineers outside the U.S., who are willing to work for lower wages. The next best thing is to jsut go into another engineering job, really it's kind of dificult, but biomedical is going to see a huge rise in jobs over the next decade.

Last, for Advertising and Promotions Managers, they are expected in the next decade to lose 2 percent of their jobs. Let me clear this up as well, marketing promotions and PR is expected to rise 12 percent, while those who direct a firm's ad campaigns and promotions aimed at driving sales, are the ones that are expected to fall. The decline in jobs in this industry is due to the economy and and the changing landscape of the media business. IF you are very creative, have strong communication and computer skills and can adapt to news media fast you can find a job in a lot of fields.

So i know this may not be important to anybody really, but it is showing that there are a lot of jobs out there that are disappearing due to the economy and the bettering of technology.
