Yeah. Nursing and computer science will lead the new decade in growth.These fields are already outsourced and oversaturated. Besides, not everyone wants to go into these 2 fields or can. Creativity cannot be replaced by outsourcing or a computer.

I am so sick of the media saying there is a nursing shortage....THERE IS NOT A NURSING SHORTAGE.

Are colleges oversupplying nurses? | MinnEcon | Minnesota Public Radio

And last but not least go to the all nurses forum and READ about all the new nurses who can't get work.

Most of the adds for nurses are bogus.

A couple years ago a Flight Attendant I worked with, who was also a nurse, was offered a new Lexus as a sign on bonus to go to a hospital in Chicago.

I can tell you that is not happening anywhere any more. Sign on bonuses are a thing of the past in nursing.

Computer science is not oversaturated. The dotcom bust shook out a lot of the dead leaves and the outsourcing thing has never been enough to outstrip growing internal demand.

Nurses are always going to be in demand because it's not a glorious job. It's usually the jobs that no one wants until they have worked long enough to get past those tasks.
Secondly, healthcare is always booming. You can almost always find a job doing something in healthcare, whether it be a reception position, PA, doctor, nurse, lab tech, dental, etc... Healthcare has been and will remain one of the top fields to work in. The work is plentiful and the pay in most cases isn't horrible.

This comment was rightfully ignored. Take your politics to the Politics subforum.
