How to choose a career/industry with explosive growth

[Wrendan]

Hello!

Another emerging market in the US is energy brokering... Huge sums of money will be made as individuals switch from their local energy companies to companies that offer better prices. I am an energy/telecom broker and I am looking forward to this! States are just being deregulated to begin the process of opening up energy sales as a competitive industry. I make a residual of 10% per monthly bill and just focus on growing my small/medium sized businesses. I work with individuals but I prefer to work with the larger monthly bills i.e. businesses!

Software, obviously.

Not to mention compared to a lot of the other fields listed, there isn't as much schooling required to get a job in IT/Software Development/Programming.

That isn't to say it's easy, just that there is less of an emphasis on post-grad degrees for instance, than with the other science/technology related fields mentioned.


If you're mathematically oriented, there are other areas like statistical and other quantitative analysis, and risk management type jobs that are there for you.


And of course, no matter what industries are growing, there are always good prospects for people who know how to sell shit, network, and hustle hard.
