Kiplinger made a list of “best” and worst career choices for the next generation of workers. They analyzed 785 popular occupations, considering their pay rates, growth potential over the next decade and educational requirements. The 10 most promising jobs focus on fields that are projected to expand greatly over the next decade and currently offer generous paychecks. Meanwhile the 10 worst jobs tend to pay little at present and are expected to shed positions in the future.
Let’s start with the top 10 best jobs. 🙂
-
“Without a bachelor’s degree, you can break into the tech field as a web developer, a role that typically requires just an associate’s degree to get started and pays a median salary of about $60,385 a year. Also, the number of such jobs is expected to grow 26.5% to nearly 214,850 positions by 2026.”

And below are the 10 worst jobs.
- Textile Machine Worker
- Photo Processor
- Furniture Finisher
- Radio or TV Announcer
- Floral Designer
- Gaming Cashier
- Legislator
- Metal and Plastic Machine Operator
- Door-to-Door Salesperson
- Print Binding and Finishing Worker
A little bit of job market research can go a long way especially for people who are looking to start a career. According to this list, the basic premise is to go into either a technology field or the healthcare industry if you want to increase your chances of getting a good paying and secure job. 🙂 And stay away from low skilled positions that could potentially either become obsolete, or be replaced with machines in the next decade or so.

Are you losing interest in blogging or has the rest of your life kept you too busy? You seem to have really slowed down on the amount you post. I keep checking back for something new but it seems to be a long time between posts.
Hey beth. Yes, I’m not as online as frequently as before. I’m finding less motivation to write posts on a regular weekly schedule like before. Also my new job keeps me busy so I’m only posting 2 to 3 times a month now.
