Here are the 10 hottest employment opportunities for the next millennium
WHETHER YOU'RE JUST ENTERING THE JOB MARKET or you want to

hottest careers for 1999 and beyond. The selection taps into a variety
of interests, skills, experience requirements and job levels. Salaries,
which largely depend on experience and geographical location, range from
the low $20s to more than $100,000 annually.
Three of the 10 entries made the fastest growing occupations list published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). This agency collects, processes and analyzes all employment data for the Department of Labor.
According to the BLS, the total number of jobs in the United States is
expected to increase by 18.6 million between now and 2006. The fastest
growing occupations are concentrated in service sectors such as business
services, healthcare and social services. The rapid growth in the
business services sector is being led by technology-based jobs,
especially those in computer and data processing
services. As a result, these positions are projected to grow
significantly more than the 14% average. Although employment growth is
predicted to cross all levels of education and training, jobs usually
requiring an associate degree or higher are expected to grow faster than
average. Those requiring less education or training are predicted to
grow more slowly than average; however, they will account for more than
half of overall employment growth. The remaining careers were culled
from an analysis of jobs across a spectrum of industries where the
expected demand will far exceed the pool of qualified personnel.
The following listing should be used as a resource by junior
and high school students as well as by college students and experienced
employees. In this dynamic labor market, your success depends on your
ability to make informed decisions. The key to a fruitful professional
career is in your hands. It's your move.
