U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Careers 2008”
US News & World Report’s annual list highlights careers that offer prestige, high job satisfaction, strong employment prospects, and competitive pay. Among the Best Careers for 2008:
- Audiologist, because the technology is advancing rapidly, enabling more people to hear better, audiologists can work in a variety of settings, and few students are entering the field, which makes job prospects even better.
- Dentist, because you can work for yourself, keep regular hours and live just about anywhere – dentists are needed in cities, suburbs and rural areas.
- Occupational Therapist, because you can work independently and creativity is encouraged to help patients achieve their own independence.
- Physician Assistant (PA), because you can perform many of the functions a doctor performs with less education – Pas are in extremely high demand.
