5 Industries to Avoid in Your Job Search - Monster.com
Not surprised to see science on there. Talk about a noble profession that has really gone down the gutter. More than ever, work is becoming more efficient, or easier to outsource/offshore.
Most manufacturing jobs suck. You couldn't pay me enough to work in production... And most manufacturers couldn't afford to anyways. While many boomers are going to be retiring, there is a reason that those in this industry aren't telling their children to follow in their footsteps. There are good jobs to be found, but good luck learning the skills required to qualify for those jobs. Most employers hire for what you can do, not what you are capable of learning.
Also not surprised to see caregivers singled out. While the work is tremendously rewarding, the pay while working for most any agency is absolutely dismal. Most of your coworkers are broke and struggling. About the only way to make a semi livable income is to find clients on your own, and work privately. I did this while in college, and I'm glad I did. The experience was amazing, and it was about the most rewarding job I've ever had. I still keep in touch with some of the families I have worked for. Your clientele is usually near the end of their life though. It hurts to see people close to you pass on. In this case, it also hurts your income earning potential as well.
