Growing jobs
What sort of jobs will people be doing/ ten years from now? According to a survey /published by an American university, the ten fastest growing jobs will be related/ to computers and health.They include computer systems analysts, data analysts and database managers. But/ there will also be a rise/ in the demand/ for health care professionals. Some of these will be new jobs, such as bioinformaticians, who combine computer skills/ with knowledge of biology. Others will be more traditional.For example, more home care nurses will be needed/ to look after the rapidly ageing population.But many youngsters/ will need professional care,too:14 million Americans suffer from speech/ or language problems, and six million of them are under the age of 18. The number of speech pathologists (who help people who have problems speaking) is expected/ to double/ by the year 2012. And social workers will continue/ to be in demand.
Of course/ there will be plenty of other new jobs, some of which we probably can't even guess.But/ for those/ who love the outdoor life, a good bet could be the leisure industry. As more and more countries open up to tourism, more travel agents will be needed,but the real demand will be for guides/ to take groups/ and even individuals/ on adventure holidays. For people/ doing this job,common sense,physical fitness and an outgoing personality are likely to be more important/ than computer skills.
