Find out which four degrees hold the most potential in the next decade.

By Chris Kyle

A lot can change in ten years. One career can explode in popularity while another hot job can go cold.
Your degree, however, lasts forever, which is all the more reason to earn the right one.
Yahoo! Education pored over employment projections through 2020 to determine what graduates with different degrees and educational backgrounds can expect from the job market over the next decade.
#1 - Health Care Degrees

Love it or hate it, health care reform is creating many new, exciting jobs in what is already the fastest growing sector of our economy. Factor in the aging population and demand for health care graduates has never been higher.

Top Degree Picks:

Medical Assistant

Nursing

Medical Technician

"We're moving not only toward a white-collar economy, but toward a white-coat economy," Derek Thompson wrote in "America 2020: Healthcare Nation", an article in The Atlantic magazine.
With hospitals looking to control costs, most of the white coats will be worn by people who assist doctors and not the doctors themselves. This means many new jobs for nurses, medical assistants, and medical technicians.
As Thompson points out, the White House and U.S. Department of Labor expect health care jobs to grow almost twice as fast as any other industry, with health care boasting three of the top five fastest growing jobs in the country.

Average Salaries:

Medical Assistant: $28,300

Medical Records and Health Information Technicians: $30,610

Registered Nurse: $62,450


#2 - Business Degrees

New technology has forever changed the way people live their lives - and how companies do business. It seems the only constant in the business world is change. Today's business school students will help define the way business gets done in the next decade - and beyond.


Top Degree Picks:

Accounting/Finance

Business Administration

MBA
Looking forward, the business sector's biggest gains will be in management, scientific, and technical consulting services...and that may be a big understatement! The Department of Labor forecasts a "staggering" 83 percent rise in employment opportunities in this area.

Average Salaries:

Accountant: $59,430

Management Analyst: $73,570

Financial Manager: $99,330

#3 - Education Degrees
According to the Department of Labor, educational services is the second largest industry in the U.S. In fact, in 2008 there were about 13.5 million jobs in this industry. Population growth will fuel demand for jobs in this field through 2018.

Top Degree Picks:

Curriculum & Instruction

Education Leadership

Special Education

Teaching Certification
Education administrator might sound like an unlikely career to get showcased in a 2010 Kiplinger column about careers for the next decade, but the numbers back it up. After all, a rapidly growing population means more students, and that means more jobs for educators.
A 2010 report from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce puts education behind only health care as a field facing the biggest shortage of qualified workers with degrees in 2018.
Average Salaries:

Public School Teacher: $47,100-$51,180

Dean of Students: $88,280

High School Principal: $97,486


#4 - Technology Degrees

Those with technology-related degrees, like network administration, will benefit from their grasp of cutting-edge technologies that will fuel future advances in all sectors of the economy.
From tech hot spots like Silicon Valley and Seattle to regional centers of innovation in Texas, North Carolina, and around the country...companies will be looking for qualified technology professionals to develop new technology products and to service the computers and networks up and running now.
Top Degree Picks:

Information Technology and Systems

Network Administration

Programming and Applications

Technology Support
According to the Georgetown report, computer specialists alone stand to see a gain of 700,000 new jobs over the next eight years.
Meanwhile, employment in computer systems design and related services is expected grow a robust 45 percent through 2018, according to the Department of Labor.
Average Salaries:

Network Administrator: $66,310

Computer Scientist: $97,970

Information Systems Manager: $112,210

All salary data comes from the U.S. Department of Labor and indicates median 2008 wages.

When you Make a Mistake

No matter how conscientious you are, you will make mistakes at work. Errors occur in every type of job and at every level of responsibility. If you don’t make mistakes, you aren’t learning.
Professionals acknowledge their mistakes, even though it may be difficult. When you make a small mistake, you can often correct it without involving anyone else. But if the mistake is costly or can damage the organization’s reputation, you have a responsibility to report it to your supervisor immediately.

When you make a mistake that falls into the “costly” category:

DO

• Take responsibility immediately.

• Tell your boss what happened.

• Apologize and explain what you think you can do to fix the mistake.

• Analyze why the mistake occurred and set in place a system to ensure the same type of mistake doesn’t happen again.

• Let it go and move on to other tasks.

Don’t

• Make excuses or become defensive. You’ll just annoy your boss and co-workers.

• Blame others, even if they played a part. Blaming others won’t solve the problem, and may make it worse.

• Deny your responsibility. Denial prolongs the problem and makes you look bad.

Three Things to Do to Ace a Job Interview

Interviewers are experts at watching and listening to job candidates and deciding which ones to hire. Here is what a few top interviewers had to say when asked what makes a good interview.


Communication
• “Attitude is the most important thing. If I don’t see a good attitude, nothing else matters.”
• “Shake my hand and say you’ve been looking forward to meeting me. Show confidence.”
Research My Company
• “Show me that you’ve spent time learning about my company. It separates the strong candidates from others.”
• “Do your homework and let me know why mine is the job you want. I’m not looking for people who will take anything they can get.
Resume
• “Show me you can organize your thoughts by giving me a factual, easy-to-understand resume. I don’t have the time or the patience for a lot of fluff.”
• “Translate your background and skills into the job I have available. It’s not my job to find a fit for you in the company.”

Jobs That Are Here to Stay!

Almost every community, big or small, has medical offices, law firms, schools, police officers, a drugstore and other essential services that provide employment. Here are jobs that won’t go away.

Police Officer
From patrolling streets to running security for parades to apprehending criminals, police officers will continue to be needed. The U.S. Department of Labor anticipates employment of police officers to grow 10 percent from 2008 to 2018; and police officers who lose their jobs due to budget cuts usually have very little trouble finding jobs with other agencies, according to the Department of Labor (DOL). To become a police officer, you will need a criminal justice degree. The salary depends on the location. Average salary across the U.S. is $51,410. The highest ten percent earn about $80,000.
Paralegal
Paralegals, who help lawyers prepare for trials and develop legal arguments, are essential to law firms. The Department of Labor expects a 28 percent growth rate for these jobs between 2008 and 2018. They also anticipate the need for more paralegals as intellectual property, health care, elder issues, and environmental law become increasingly important to our communities. To pursue a paralegal career, you will need an associate degree in paralegal studies. The average annual salary for paralegals is around $46,120, though the top ten percent can earn almost $75,000. Working for a large law firm or in a big city usually pays more.
Accountant
Businesses in every town or city rely on accountants for everything from bookkeeping to helping plan growth strategies. The Department of Labor estimates employment of accountants will grow by 22 percent between 2008 and 2018. If you want to become an accountant, you’ll need a bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field. You can advance your career by becoming a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Accountants earn an average annual salary of $59,430, with top earners averaging more than $102,380 per year.
Health Care Administrator
Health care administrators help control medical costs, improve health care, work with insurance companies, and oversee the security of patient records. As the population ages, health care administrators will be needed to keep hospitals and medical offices running smoothly. The DOL predicts that employment of medical and health services managers will grow 16 percent from 2008 to 2018. An entry-level position in a smaller facility or department requires a bachelor’s degree in health care administration. Larger facilities usually require a master's degree in health care administration. Health care administrators have an average annual salary of $80,240.
Pharmacy Technician
Pharmacy technicians help ensure that prescriptions are filled smoothly and efficiently. Health care changes will put a greater demand on local pharmacies, increasing the need for pharmacy technicians. The DOL expects employment of pharmacy technicians to grow 25 percent from 2008 to 2018. That's 96,300 new jobs! A pharmacy associate degree or a certificate is needed. Pharmacy technicians earn $13.32 per hour on average, though the highest 10 percent can earn more than $18.98 per hour. Certified technicians often earn more than non-certified technicians.

Salaries for 2010 College Graduates!

College graduates, in general, are earning $850 less to start this year than in 2009; however, some fields are showing an increase in starting salaries, according to a study by the National Association of Colleges and Employers.


What will you earn in the future as a college graduate? A look at 2010 starting salaries will give you an idea of what to expect.

Communications: Entry-level public relations jobs pay an average of $36,286, and jobs in broadcast journalism pay about $46,000. These salaries are up a great deal from 2009.

Engineering: Graduates concentrating in the environmental field are in demand. Offers to those in agricultural, environmental and oceanic engineering are up from an average of $43,600 in 2009 to $55,187 this year. Across all engineering majors, the average projected starting salary is $54,892, up slightly from 2009.

Business: Graduates in business schools saw a slight decline in salaries in 2010, from $46,973 in 2009 to $46,623 this year. Accounting and finance degrees are the most in demand, and these graduates will receive a small increase.

Liberal Arts: Money often comes later for graduates with a liberal arts degree, according to experts, so people who major in this field must be patient. Their writing, communication, and thinking skills will pay off, but usually not immediately. Graduates in liberal arts and science are the hardest hit salary-wise in 2010, but English majors can expect a pay increase of about 6% percent from last year. In the science field, employers plan to offer higher pay only to physics and agriculture majors. The average reported starting salary for those with humanities, science or social science degrees is $30,159.

How to Have Success at Work?

A person can be the one making the most money and yet be miserable at work. On the other hand, the one who makes the least may be the most content. How can you be happy at work?
1. Decide what success means to you. Is it money? A big title? Power? A flexible schedule? Great benefits? A non-stressful work environment? Success is based on what you believe, not on what someone else thinks is success.
2. Keep a positive attitude at work. The person at work who is positive is the one everybody likes to be around. This will make them a success among their co-workers and the boss too. No one likes someone who drags around with a negative attitude.
3. Do your best work every day. Set high standards for yourself, and meet them every time. A get-by attitude actually gets you nowhere. You’ll be the first to go in layoffs.
4. Take pride in your job, so you place value on yourself. It doesn't matter if anyone sees or knows how hard or well you are working.
5. Stay focused. Most people who enjoy success at work are focused. They discipline themselves to stay on task. They aren’t distracted by texting, social networking, gossip, or rumor.
6. Make yourself indispensable. You want to be the “go to” person when a manager needs someone he or she can depend on. You guarantee this by going beyond what is expected.
