How Does Engineering Sound?

Have you ever wondered what to major in to pretty much guarantee a job after graduation? Well Anna Fisher, FORTUNE senior writer says that engineering is among your most promising fields. She mentions that The Bureau of Labor Statistics expects that the economy will generate 200,000 more engingeering jobs by 2014, and many employers are already noticing a shortage of skilled workers in a variety of engineering fields. The annual pay for the average engineer in the U.S. is now $72,925. Thats alot of money considering the average U.S. citizen will recieve just under $30,000 a year. Two other majors that seem to be very promising are accounting and physical therapy.
"New and complex laws are creating tremendous demand for accounting skills,"says John Challenger, CEO of Chicago-bases outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. In 2005 the average salary for an accountant in the United States was $50,770. That is almost double the average Americans salary.
Physical Therapists are also in desperate need in the U.S. "The aging population of baby boomers will create high demand for workers in this field," Challenger predicts, with nearly 56,000 new job openings by 2014. The average annual pay for physical therapists was recorded to be $65,350. Not sure what you want to do with your life? Well now you may have a hint to where you might want to lead yourself.
