Top Careers in the New Millennium

By Amelia Gray

As millions of young Americans leave high school or college and enter the job world, one question rises above the sound of call centers and deep fryers: does it get better than this? The U.S. Department of Labor's statistics on job growth through 2014 suggest that a number of fun, interesting, and lucrative careers will be going strong for a long time. Some of these hot jobs require degrees, but you can work your way up some career ladders with on-the-job training.

Top Career #1: Nursing & Caregiving

Though job prospects across the healthcare industry are forecasted to rise, nursing jobs are expected to be in critical demand. Registered nurses work in nursing care centers, inpatient and outpatient departments of hospitals, home healthcare facilities, and government agencies. The job requires stamina and patience, but the rewards of helping people are immense.

Growth: 27% to 56%
Education: Nursing diploma, associate's degree in nursing, or RN to BSN in nursing
Skills: Empathy, high-energy personality, attention to detail

Attention N6 Students !!!

Pass this info on to whomever needs it. From Mrs. Batson:

She says the syllabus does not match the book. She forgot to update the syllabus since they went to a new book this semester. The first day in class she will cover chapters 33-36 and 42. The second class she will cover chapters 37-40. Our exam will cover all of these chapters.

We will find out more the first day. See you all on the 22nd!!!!!

hey everyone,

i was checking my campus email and found one for spanish 71 which is geared for speaking spanish in the workplace and fits with the N6/7 schedule. i was planning to take a spanish course over the summer, but think this would be a nice crash course to take instead. it's only 2.5 hrs, one day a week 2/5-5/25.

it would be fun to learn spanish with classmates from the nursing program, so i'm signing up. are you?

SPAN 071 Spanish in the Workplace
course description is here
