With economy being so unstable nowadays and job security being something of the past, many individuals getting ready to enter into the career world are wondering what the best careers will be in the near future. The key to finding a career path that will continue to be profitable is doing your research and determining which careers will continue to grow, which careers are not in danger of being taken over by computers and which careers will always require the human hands. The first category of careers that will continue to be in demand are healthcare careers. Although technology will continue to improve testing capabilities, there is no way for technology to take over the jobs of the many healthcare professionals required to keep a hospital running successfully. Therefore, for anyone who is comfortable with such a career as nursing, this is a great career path to follow. The next popular career path that will not diminish (缩减) anytime in the near future is in educational institutions. It is true that many college courses are being taught online these days but even then a real person is needed to move the class along. In regular classrooms all around the world technology is being used to supplement the traditional textbook learning but a teacher will always be needed to teach students how to make use of such tools. Food service careers are also a career category that will continue to be popular in the future. Technology may be able to improve the way we prepare and cook food but there will always have to be an actual person behind that technology making everything run smoothly and there will always have to be someone to serve food as well. Choosing a career for the future when nobody really knows what the future holds can be very scary (可怕的). Research a variety of careers in order to find one that's right for you but that won't be obsolete (过时的) in a few years and you will be thankful down the road .1.
