Need some career advice, looking for a list of jobs in demand for my area.?

I'm thinking of changing careers, and would like to see what kind of jobs are in needed in my area. I don't mean just any jobs like at the local McDonald's, but a skilled/ technical job that's in demand. I've been working the same job for the last 10yrs and I'm getting burned out, I would like to change fields, but I don't know where to start. Going to college is a little out of the question due to the amount of time that is evolved. If any one could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

Just remember that the above links are compiled be Federal Government. BOLS tries to inform us as to where jobs will be in the fututre, and how many of each job type. Do you see any differences between the 2003 and 2007 projections?





You also said that time constraints will not allow you to attend college. Then again, you may already have skills that are in demand.





Best of luck to you.
Reply:It depends what your current job is, so by changing somethign relate to it will be better, because you already know a little bit about it. So, you just need to get into the business, to see if anyone want to train you about the new field.


For example, if you are in computer networking, then you can move to IT, customer support etc....


Start look around what is the job or new profession you want to get around your current working place.
Reply:Yep - 10 years is a good time to get antsy. The trouble with a new field is the entry level wages. Only you know what your local area is - check the want ads and see what is available. The medical field is always good, but you say college is out of the question - but you are going to have to have some skill to offer
Reply:You want a job that requires a skill that you are unwilling to pursue, or a degree you can not earn! You, my friend need to run for office. Any open position that doesn't have a Democrat already firmly planted in a cushy gov'ment job will do!
Reply:if you are near a big city, get a job as a runner at a broadcast facility / studio / camera rental house, you can climb the ladder quickly in media with the least talent by just being a hard worker, worked for me !!
Reply:Soap water hands...dishwasher
Reply:you could look at joining a technical call / contact center
