Hi Samar – Possibly, but I think some of the fear or robots eliminating jobs is overblown. Certainly it can happen with repetitious jobs, but any job that requires steady human ingenuity is going to need a human to do the job.

Obamacare is affecting this. I have a friend who is an LPN. He was downsized to two days a week – apparently from Obamacare – apparently they don’t want LPN’s (as opposed to RN’s). This happened very recently in a major city.

It’s very interesting to note that work at home opportunities made it to the top ten and financial services on the 16th position.

I don’t see that one coming back nearly as strong as the others on this list. However, if you are a independent construction contractor with enough cash reserves to ride out the economic roller coaster, this can be a fairly lucrative career.

I didn’t know that financial services would be 16th on the list! Either way, I’m still really interested in further pursuing my career in this industry. I’m currently looking into getting a financial designation/s at icf (www.ibf.com) to help set me apart from my peers. Do you have any advice for me? I can use any advice that I can get. Thanks.

There is one I’d think twice about, though, and that’s #7 (Management), and here’s why. If you check out this chart constructed from BLS statistics by the St. Louis Fed: http://bit.ly/smalller, you’ll see that over the past few decades employment at large employers (read: those use the most managers) has been dwindling, both in absolute numbers and in percentage of workforce.

Of course, management jobs will never go away entirely, but it’s probably not the rosiest in terms of future prospects, either…

I am currently a home health aide and there’s a big need for those right now.
