HOT jobs for women and minorities
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
There are companies in the U.S. that are dying to hire women and minorities. If you have the qualifications, and you are a good fit for the company, you have a pretty good chance of getting hired when there is an opening. So, what are these jobs?
- Actuaries
- Engineers
- Doctors
- Nurses
Actuaries working in insurance companies and accounting firms are in great demand. There are not enough people seeking jobs in these areas and the number of minorities and females in these roles are low. Companies are desperately trying to find talented individuals who have exceptional math skills.
Engineers are in great demand and the college graduation rate in the U.S. among U.S. citizens it is less than the demand rate. This is the reason why U.S. companies are lobbying for the Feds to raise the H-1B Visa numbers. Many of the engineers graduating from U.S. universities are from China and India. If you have a degree in geological and electrical engineering, you can practically write your own ticket.
Doctors and Nurses are next on the list. There are not enough doctors and nurses to go around. The college graduation rate is not on par with the demand. Many of the RN’s out there today are baby boomers. Guess what, they are going to retire some day.
If you are not making the money you desire, it is time for you to pursue your dream of financial security. Going back to school is a good option!
