Even with the issue of economic recession, there are still jobs that are projected to grow within the decade.  Some of them are the following:

1. Network Systems and Data Communication Analyst

Projected increase (2016):  53.4 percent

Median Earning (2006):  $67,460

2. Personal and home care aides

Projected increase (2016):  50.6 percent

Median Earning (2006):  $18,180

3.   Home health aides

Projected increase (2016):  48.7 percent

Median Earning (2006):  $20,100

I got this from an article in freecareersearch.com.  They are a lot of other hot jobs.  Check the site out.  Salaries, benefits, and the nature of job are all indicated.  You will learn a lot from the site.

It is best to choose a career that matches your interests.  Otherwise, even if you are successful, you will not be happy with your work.

This free site will give you a 30 minute quiz to find out what you are interested in, then it will give you a list of occupations that match your interests.  It also has information on the various occupations, like what training you need, what the job consists of, future demand, etc.
