It's no secret that the US economy and the local job market are seriously struggling. And while people continue to lose their jobs left and right, certain professions are still booming, and some actually (such as nursing) have serious talent shortages.
According to a recent article on Yahoo! Hot Jobs, professions such as engineering, nursing, auditing, and even Career Counseling are in great demand. But I won't lie - this is also a challenging time to be a Career Counselor due to increased competition in the job market and the heightened stress and anxiety my clients are facing. But at the same time, Career Counselors are in greatly needed in order to serve so many displaced workers and help people make difficult career transitions.
The following blurb was taken from the aforementioned Yahoo! article:
Career Counselor. More folks than usual are starting off the new year without a job in sight. How can the out-of-work find gainful employment? From outplacement agencies to government programs, career counselors and coaches will be very busy in 2009 helping make things easier. Mitchell encourages those seeking work to get professional help, saying, "Many individuals will need to completely re-engineer their careers. In order to do that, people need personalized guidance and feedback from an expert counselor." Average Yearly Salary - $54,426
