Network systems and data analysts - most of the servers are being relocated to India. India has a huge IT workforce and these types of jobs are perfect for them.
Software engineers - easily outsourced to India. Most large software firms have huge operations in India. Unless you are a software genius, don't expect to get a job in this field.
Biomedical engineers - Once again, all the big medical companies have huge laboratories in India, easy to scale up.
Accountants and auditors - Might take a while for this industry to get hit but with IFRS (International accounting standards) everyone will have the same rules. An accountant in the USA and an accountant in India will be operating on the same rules. At that point its a no shocker who you will want to do your accounting work.
Veterinarians - requires tons of education and medical license. Also probably not much job growth here. I am sure even with job growth it amounts to a couple thousand jobs. If you are going to go into the medical field you might as well take up general practice.
I've noticed that a lot of people going into nursing are going in it for the money. A lot of the people I've seen tend not to be "intellectual" types, but rather the former high school pot heads, cheerleaders, jocks, average to below-average students, etc., who just want a job that pays bank. And since an RN degree from a CC is pretty easy to obtain, a lot of people are flocking to this field. Very few people I've met are going into the field because of their compassion for people.
I'm not trying to stereotype, this is just what I've seen in people seeking this path.
Its like that for every single field that supposedly has a large amount of good paying jobs. Always has and always will.

Easy to scale up what? I'm not sure what you have in mind. Manufacturing? Yea, that makes sense. But, as far as the sciences go, it's innovation that's in the US vs India. There are large investments in China, tho, they haven't arrived yet either. Bio-tech is strong in MA due to Harvard, MIT, etc. If/when we no longer lead in innovation it will be problematic and that hit will be taken across industries.

I believe this, but only to an extent. There are certain good paying jobs that these types of people may aspire to, but will never have the aptitude to acheive. The type of people I described tend to go into more tech fields like dental assistant, nursing assistant, nursing, HVAC, plumbing, computer repair technician, etc. When you're able to solve advanced equations in calculus and physics, you're very likely not aspiring to be an HVAC technician or plumber.

Link to source confirming "most of the servers" are being relocated to India? You pulled that from so deep your elbow has **** stains on it.

LOL you obviously don't work in the field and haven't a clue what you're talking about. I'd recommend others stay away from the advice of the clueless.
In my state, nursing is still in demand. We have a lot of small towns and the community college has made the nursing program TOUGH. They don't maintain a waitlist, but you have to pretty much have to ace classes like Advanced Anatomy, Microbiology, Chemistry to even get into the program. Not everyone has the talent or discipline to do that.
Hah, that's not tough, it's the bare minimum to become competent.
A semester of high school microbiology = less than one 50 minute microbio lecture in medical school.
A semester of college microbiology = four, five med school microbio lectures.
I guess ones definition of talent and discipline are all relative.

Oh please ...why do you hate nurses? What is your problem?
Poor treatment by physicians is a prime reason for the nursing shortage that exists most of the time (not currently due the recession)

Poor treatment of young medical residents by nurses with a power trip is the prime reason why some doctors turn out to hate nurses when they become attendings. I've seen it happen to many people. It's a vicious cycle. You reap what you sow. I have nothing against nurses, I just found it amusing that acing high school bio is considered a great accomplishment, it reflects the general low standards America has for education. Knowing high school bio and chem should be the bare minimum to have any responsibility in the health care field.
There's no significant nursing shortage in America, only shortages are in midnight shifts and the boonies. New nursing grads have hard time finding jobs in major markets.
And nurses receive far more abuse from fellow nurses (they eat their own) than from doctors. This is true in other female-dominated fields, like teaching. Don't blame the doctors for the crappy work environment. We endure it too.

What's this about? A checker checking a checker? eta: well, I can see the answer to that in your post above. I'm having a vivid memory of my 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Lancerate, that enjoyed scripting across the chalk board. Any way, I think talent and discipline can be deemed relative given that it's often noted the way of an opinion.

Reason 1001 why it scares the willies out of me when a family member enters a hospital.
