Tomorrow's Hottest Jobs

a) Are any of the jobs mentioned in the article of interest to you? Why?

None of these jobs interest me a lot. All of these career choices seem to be fairly boring. I know that we need financial planners and undertakers, but I don't think I would ever become one. Going for one of these jobs is kind of going against my career goals.

b) How is the employment boom mentioned in the article good for you?

The employment boom is good for people from Gen X and Gen Y because by the time that we are ready to enter the work force a lot of the baby boomers will have retired and there will be a major need of workers in all the jobs that they are leaving.

c)How could this boom be a bad thing?

There may not be enough younger people to fill in the opening positions. This could cause more company flattening. Even though companies like IBM have gone from 15 levels of management to 4, it could continue. If there are too many baby boomers retiring and not enough Gen X and Gen Y to fill their spots, companies can lose more employees and have to cut out more levels of management.
