The Best Careers for Young People

  • Computer Software Engineer

    • With ever-evolving needs for computer software development, this is expected to represent a high-demand job market. It will swell by 32 percent (almost 300,000 jobs) by 2018, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics' "Occupational Outlook Handbook" (2010-11 Edition). This type of career is most appropriate for those with good math skills who enjoy creating programs and solving problems.

    Registered Nurse

    • Nurses always have been in demand and there are no signs of a changing trend, so you can expect job security in this career. Nurses are well paid, especially those who specialize or work per diem for an outside company like an ambulance service or transport unit. Special opportunities are open to nurses with advanced degrees, certificates, licenses and experience.

    Financial Adviser

    • As baby boomers reach retirement age, the need for financial advisers to assist them with money delegation is increasing. Over the next decade, the demand for financial advisers is expected to grow by 30 percent. If you're good with numbers and handling money and if you enjoy communicating, this is a career path worth exploring.

    Event Planner

    • If you love planning all the details of parties and other gatherings, then event planning may be your cup of tea. Event planners arrange personal and business functions, from luncheons to million-dollar, black-tie banquets and presentations. As people find themselves more strapped for time, they are outsourcing these duties to planners who can coordinate the event from start to finish.
