Job security in an age of automation and uncertainty is one of the most important aspects of choosing a career. Although it is hard to predict the future, many careers have been consistently in high demand. Below we have compiled a list of five careers based on consistent growth, high demand, and a low chance of automation.
Home Health Aides - As the United States population has begun to age, home health aides have become more important than ever. These positions are hugely beneficial to the families and individuals who rely on them, therefore, aides can expect to get a lot of satisfaction from the work they do. The only downsides are the low average pay and also the distress from witnessing people’s health decline.
Construction worker - Despite growing technologies that ease the burden of general labor, construction is still a lucrative and high-demand career. Trades are also in even higher demand, so pursuing plumbing, electrician, welding, or carpentry can boost wages and demand beyond general construction positions.
Financial Advisor - As a FinTech blog we often speak about the newest technologies driving the finance industry. However, we understand the need for human decision making especially when it comes to capital and financial planning. Financial advisors are still the preferred choice for portfolios and other financial transactions. This field is ever-growing as more and more individuals become investors. Not only is it a lucrative career, but SEC-registered investment advisers and registered broker-dealers can also certify investors as accredited investors opening up even more career opportunities.
Registered Nurse - The COVID-19 pandemic made it clear that nurses are one of the most important and necessary occupations. Nurses are needed in every community on Earth, making them most likely the most in-demand jobs. Even in an apocalyptic situation, nurses are still extremely valuable, meaning they will truly always be in demand. Like home health aides, the only downsides are the drain of seeing patients get sick or even die.
Web Developers - The whole world runs online, therefore the individuals who create the experiences almost every human engages with online is a great career path. Not only are web developers in demand, these positions consistently pay high wages. With both talent and schooling web developers will remain to see growth as long as technology dominates our everyday lives.
Not everyone can be a rockstar or a famous actor, so choosing careers where you are valuable ensures work longevity. In-demand work often comes with high pay, so the investment can play a huge part in ensuring high living standards. Accredited investors can participate in Rule 506(c) funds which are exclusive investment opportunities most individuals are unable to pursue. Diversifying your portfolio with private investments is a great way to ensure future financial stability. Much like choosing a future-proof career, making investments can future-proof your lifestyle.
Choosing fields that are considered unskilled can lead to a large amount of turnover, so it is especially important to look ahead and job trends and prepare for the future.
