Despite the economic downturn, these careers are still growing.
These industries project promise-and jobs-for the future, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Occupational Information Network database.
1. Education
Math and science teachers will be in demand as the U.S. struggles to compete with other countries in engineering, technology, and medicine. A growing immigrant population means more English-as-a-second-language classes will be needed.
Postsecondary teachers – Median salary: $56,120 Education: bachelor’s degree and often a master’s or doctorate
Teacher assistants – Median salary: $21,580 Education: some post-secondary education or vocational training
Educational, vocational, and school counselors – Median salary: $49,450 Education: secondary education, associate’s, bachelor’s, or master’s
2. Energy
Some of the jobs in this field are the result of projects started a year or more ago. But the real boost will come from the new administration’s commitment to a more efficient national energy system. “Growth of energy consumption around the world will keep this sector strong,” says Laurence Shatkin, coauthor of 150 Best Recession-Proof Jobs.
Power plant operators – Median salary: $56,640 Education: vocational training and several years of on-the-job training
Insulation workers – Median salary: $31,280 Education: secondary education and vocational training
Electrical power-line installers and repairers – Median salary: $52,570 Education: vocational training and several years of on-the-job training
3. Environment
Green is getting the green light in a nationwide push to make homes and office buildings more energy-efficient and to develop alternative energy sources (solar, wind, nuclear) as well as fuel cell technology. “Anything involved with wind power, either the design or related products, will be big,” says Laurence Stybel.
Environmental scientists – Median salary: $58,380 Education: master’s
Environmental engineers – Median salary: $72,350 Education: bachelor’s
Hydrologists – Median salary: $68,140 Education: master’s
4. Financial Services
Rising from the ashes of a very bad year, financial services have a bright future. Corporate America’s wretched excesses mean more government regulation. Workers who are retiring will need advice on how to make their money last. Small businesses may outsource accounting services. As we get to the middle of the recession, there will be a wave of mergers and acquisitions, Stybel predicts. “People with experience in managing the process-corporate attorneys, investment bankers, and accountants-will be in demand.”
Financial advisers – Median salary: $67,660 Education: bachelor’s
Accountants and auditors – Median salary: $57,060 Education: bachelor’s
Sales agents (securities and commodities) – Median salary: $68,430Education: bachelor’s
5. Government
More than half a million federal employees will retire by 2016, leaving open positions at agencies from the CIA to AmeriCorps to NASA. There will also be opportunities at the state and local levels. “In addition to police work and homeland security, government inspects and regulates many industries,” says Shatkin. “Workers can sometimes capitalize on their experience in an industry by moving into a regulatory job.”
Government property inspectors – Median salary: $48,400 Education: vocational training, associate’s or bachelor’s
Immigration and customs inspectors – Median salary: $59,930 Education: bachelor’s
Urban and regional planners – Median salary: $57,970Education: master’s
6. Health Care
Health care pops up at the top of just about every list of hot careers. All of us are getting older and living longer, sometimes with chronic health conditions. What’s more, health insurance practices may undergo a radical revision during the Obama administration, which has announced plans to address three central issues: coverage, cost, and quality of care. “Health care is a growing industry,” says Bettina Seidman, “and not just for health care professionals. There will also be jobs for secretaries, accountants, and administrators.”
Registered nurses – Median salary: $60,010Education: associate’s or bachelor’s
Dental assistants – Median salary: $31,550Education: secondary education, plus a few months to one year of on-the-job training
Medical records and health information technicians – Median salary: $29,290 Education: associate’s
7. International Business
Corporations, consulting firms, nonprofits, and even governments are going after global markets. People with international expertise, foreign-language skills, or a willingness to move abroad will be in demand. “The global economy is only going to grow,” says John Challenger. “U.S. involvement will expand, short and long term.”
Interpreters and translators – Median salary: $37,490 Education: bachelor’s
International management analysts – Median salary: $71,150 Education: bachelor’s or master’s
Market research analysts – Median salary: $60,300 Education: bachelor’s or master’s
8. Law Enforcment
International terrorism makes daily headlines, and fear of financial insecurity is matched only by concern for our physical safety. “Crime doesn’t go down in a recession,” says Shatkin. “It may even increase.”
Probation officers – Median salary: $44,510 Education: bachelor’s
Court reporters – Median salary: $45,330 Education: postsecondary vocational training
Paralegals – Median salary: $44,990Education: associate’s degree in paralegal studies
9. Technology
New uses of technology in services and products like electronic health records mean that this sector will continue to be strong. “We have just begun to use the Internet as an entertainment medium in publishing, music, and film,” says Peter Weddle.
Computer systems analysts – Median salary: $73,090 Education: bachelor’s
Network systems and data communications analysts – Median salary: $64,600 Education: bachelor’s
Computer, ATM, and office machine repairers – Median salary: $37,100 Education: high school or vocational training
And We’ll Always Be Looking For…
“Think of basic human needs, the things we can’t do without,” says Shatkin. They provide what he calls “little islands” of employment in this economy. For example, he says, we will always need sewage and water treatment. Challenger says the food industry is a core area: “People have to eat, and the global population is increasing.”
In a down economy, people don’t buy new cars-they repair their old ones. People turn to their clergy for comfort. Funeral directors will always have jobs. And since pets are very much a part of the family, veterinarians and veterinary technicians will continue to be in demand.

Court reporting training takes anywhere from between two to three years to complete. This training usually includes courses on language and terminology in addition to the basic skills training for transcription which includes the use of transcription tools and techniques- like shorthand writing, the stenograph and CAT (computer aided transcription). The expert use of these tools is a necessity to any court reporter whether they wish to work in the judicial system of not. Court reporting schools online or on-campus conduct comprehensive training for prospective reporters who can then opt to take a test for certification in order to improve their employment prospects (as most employers, whether from the judicial line of not, require these certifications as proof of competency). Certification testing usually requires a knowledge test be taken and a display of typing skills (225 to 250 or more works per minute). Initial certifications are awarded by the national associations the NVRA and NCRA (certification from either one depends upon the reporting / transcription techniques preferred by the reporter). Work for court reporters and trained transcribers/steno-typists outside of the judicial system is often referred to as captioning work.
Careers in Captioning & CART
Captioning is the process, through a variety of techniques to, to display the spoken word on screen or in a video, as text delivered in real time. Additional information and non-speech elements are also part of this process so that viewers may access this information. Captioning is also used to aid the hearing impaired understand what is being spoken; according to VisWiki; ‘Captions’ aim to describe all significant audio content – spoken dialogue and non-speech information such as the identity of speakers and, occasionally, their manner of speaking – along with music or sound effects using words or symbols’. Captioning is also called ‘subtitles for the hard or hearing’. CART is the abbreviation used for the process of ‘Communication Access Real-time Transcription’ or ‘Computer Aided Real-time Transcription’.
Captioning techniques are regularly taught at traditional court reporting campuses as well as in online court reporting training and court reporting courses that offer bachelor’s and associate degrees in transcription.
Careers
A trained court reporter can take up a job in captioning for a variety of industries related to audio-visual media. These careers may include real-time transcription for public events (concerts, declamation or political speeches etc), webcasts and religious or educational services. The following are some of the work areas that require transcription services of high quality and are options for a lucrative career or freelance work in order to increase income;
Tele-visual and video:
Television and Video soundtrack including speech are transcribed using stenotypes and translated to appear on screen in real-time. This is common with live broadcasts (sports, public addresses etc).
Webcasts and Video streaming:
Live webcasts are captioned and subtitles used in streamed videos. This is also known as web commentary in text of a live event in real time.
DVD and movies:
Subtitles for DVD documentaries and movies and other video clips.
Videogames:
Likewise, in-game audio is also transcribed and displayed in text.

A lawyer is a person learned in the law and licensed to practice. A lawyer applies legal theories to solve individual problems, either to compensate a party who has suffered a loss or to defend the party who is accused of causing the loss. A paralegal is not a lawyer, but assists the lawyer in his work. The paralegal is trained to perform legal duties but is not legally authorized to complete them.
Part of a lawyers job may include researching facts, prior cases and general statutes of the law and then drafting the legal papers. They may also brief the court in writing on the details of a case prior to trial. The paralegal may also assist in these duties to help the lawyer prepare for court.
Generally, a lawyer has attended law school and obtained a Masters or Bachelor of Laws degree. They may have also earned another Bachelors degree simultaneously. In some countries law students work full time to pay tuition while attending a part time program. Paralegals may have earned a Bachelors and also gained extensive work experience that gives them the knowledge to perform the same work, but without the credentials. Both the lawyer and the paralegal follow the same ethical guidelines within the law.
After completing their schooling, a lawyer will need to decide whether to work in private practice or another venue such as a corporate business atmosphere or government service or continue on to be a prosecutor or judge. Initially, some lawyers will take any case that comes their way. Others are specialized and only take certain types of cases such as personal injury, divorce or malpractice. A specialized attorney is bound have experienced more scenarios relevant to each following case and therefore become more effective. In each venue, there is undoubtedly a paralegal present to take on some of the work load and prepare the case files in order to streamline the focus of the lawyer.
Compensation. There are a number of ways that lawyers are paid for their work. Most lawyers require a non-refundable retainer. Some lawyers work on a pro-bono basis. Legal aid attorneys represent those who cannot afford the charges so the attorneys are compensated on a case by case basis by the government. A lawyer working for a corporation is generally on the payroll and earns a regular salary. A private practice attorney may receive an hourly pay rate, a contingency fee or a lump sum payment. Paralegals in a federal government environment earn the highest level of pay, though the length of experience has more to do with where they fall on the pay scale. Paralegals with 10 years experience earn a reasonable wage overall.
Paralegals help the lawyer that they are working for to become more profitable. They are also permitted to work for themselves contracting their services to firms or as freelancers. Whatever experience the paralegal obtains is valuable and can be applied as they move up the ladder. The paralegal field is one of the fastest growing and many go on to pursue studies in law school and even become lawyers themselves. Their background as a paralegal gives them the advantage to succeed quickly.

Perhaps you are considering your career options and are wondering, “What does a legal secretary do?” or “what legal secretary jobs are there?” The duties of legal secretaries can vary depending on the specific law firm, corporate legal office or government agency that he or she is working for. There are many different legal secretary jobs – and not all of them are at law offices, as some might imagine. This is an ideal career for someone who wants to work in the legal field without going through the many, many years of law school.
Legal Secretary Job Description
After obtaining legal secretary degrees or certificates, which can be completed in two years or less in most cases, professionals of all ages can begin seeking work in the legal field. Legal secretaries assist attorneys with a variety of duties related to legal documents, legal research and organizing law libraries. It is often necessary to get an associate’s degree to be truly prepared for this job, because legal secretaries have to be well-versed in legal terminology and able to combine their legal knowledge with office duties seamlessly.
Although the legal secretary job duties vary among the different legal secretary careers, it is safe to say that anyone working in this type of position will be responsible for handling a diverse set of administrative responsibilities. Legal secretaries must be able to quickly type up various legal documents, memos and letters, for starters. They must also be able to efficiently and accurately maintain legal files, consult legal journals, assist with legal research, take notes, field phone calls, schedule appointments, participate in legal meetings and organize legal libraries. There are other duties that may come up in the course of the day as well, depending on the specific office or firm in question.
Not all legal secretaries have legal secretary degrees; some choose to complete short-term programs that lead to a career certificate. A degree program, however, will provide better preparation for careers in law firms, insurance companies, government organizations and/or legal departments within large companies. Classes in business math, business English, legal terminology, legal transcription, key boarding and office management are typically part of these two-year associate’s degree programs.

Paralegal careers are constantly in demand, and even more so when the economy is down and attorney fees need to be cut. If you enjoy law and doing research while diving deep into the details, and are capable of performing mundane administrative duties as well, a paralegal career might be the profitable career for you.
A paralegal career is a professional career that can be started with less than a bachelor’s degree, yet provide the returns of a bachelor’s degree salary with some on-the-job experience. There are a few schools that offer a bachelor’s degree in paralegal studies, but more often you will see an associate degree for paralegal studies or a certificate for paralegal studies. Although licensing is not required, getting a paralegal license through the American Paralegal Association can improve your employability, and position you to be more eligible to work in lucrative firms.
Paralegal studies will include courses in legal communication, legal document preparation, court proceedings, legal research, personal injury, medical terminology, and likely a course in legal branches, such as corporate law, estate law, family law, criminal law, tax law, torts and others. There will also be standard English, grammar and writing courses. A certificate course will be very skill focused, and provide a faster route to employment; however, a paralegal with an associate degree, or even a bachelor degree, is more likely to find a higher-paying job in a corporate firm. Administrative, clerical or secretarial experience is also valuable on a paralegal resume, since most paralegal positions also require a great deal of administrative responsibility.
Paralegals are responsible for assisting the attorney with legal research and trial preparation. This could include drawing up and filing court documents and pleadings; collecting testimonies; medical records and investigatory material; calling businesses, clients and courts; researching applicable laws and statutes; reviewing depositions and testimonies and comparing them to the details of the case; creating and proofreading correspondence and documents with assistance from a legal secretary; filling out numerous forms; and possibly accompanying an attorney on a trial. Entry level paralegals are often expected to do paralegal work and administrative secretarial work. This would include creating, typing and mailing correspondence and filing legal documents rather than handing them to the legal secretary to type, mail and file, and may include a larger burden of phone calls to courts and for medical records.
Paralegals are legal professionals. Advancement is either in office hierarchy in larger firms, or in pay through your firm or other firms. Paralegals can work in law firms, corporations, federal and non-profit agencies. There are also paralegals that work for advocacy groups, politicians, or freelance from their home. The opportunity to go to law school is always there, and will be more affordable after you start your paralegal career.
Paralegal careers are for those who love law and research, and can competently handle administrative duties. Timeliness is essential in the legal world, and so is professionalism. If you’re intrigued with the law and have administrative capability, research a paralegal career – and you’ll quickly see that you can profit from your career as a paralegal.
