High unemployment rates, including in developed countries, are forcing young people to choose their professions more and more carefully. 

 

The popular publication 24/7 Wall St. has printed a list of the 10 highest-paid and most needed professions of the future in the United States. Compiling a list, the publication was guided roughly to the period from 2012 to 2020.

And so let's find out.

Rehabilitation Specialists.

Increase in job openings: 33.5%

Average salary: $72,320

 

These are people who work with patients who, for certain reasons, have had a serious illness or injury and now need professional help to get back to a normal life. The number of these professionals in the United States is expected to reach 144,000 by 2020.

 

Veterinarians

Medical specialists are increasingly working for research institutions and for the federal government. Their services are needed by a growing population.
