Demand in Australia

[crappy]

Oh sorry for the double post, but it depends on which type of engineering it is. Just labeling it as engineering in general is moronic, as there other streams that are booming and will continue to, in years to come.

If you're interested in biology, there's a demand for health science areas like physios and podiatrists

you shouldnt be deciding your career on the demand of it.

its seems that you're probably quite focused on making plenty of money and therefore it seems you're drawn to law/medicine due to the common public conception that all doctors/lawyers are very well off.

i would; along with many other people on this forum, suggest that you simply follow a career that interests you. there is money to be made in every career; and if its something your passionate about you'll probably exceed in that field and end up making plenty of money

This is very well put. If you are going to try and mould your career to demand, then you could end up very depressed later in life.

By all means everyone will have to do some tradeoff, but to say "this is in demand, I want that job" is bad. At the end of the day you will get the rewards of that job, but you have to spend your time actually doing that job, if you don't like your job it will be tough on you.

I love this quote: "find your dream job and you will never have to work a day in your life". In first year uni I found maths and physics don't seem like work, but rather hobbies of mine. Whilst I found engineering anything but that.

If you have some area of study you really enjoy, don't pass it up for something higher in demand.

there is money to be made in every career

It doesn't really matter what you do so much as how good you are at doing it and how much you enjoy it, however minuscule the demand (what I mean by "however minuscule" is, being able to urinate the furthest distance doesn't count).

Civil Engineering will never stop booming, in the foreseeable future anyway.

lol screw $$ if I wanted that stuff I would go to the stock market

[doboman]

dentistry and engineering will have a drop in salary from the perhaps 5-10 years from now onwards

What information have you based that on?

he could possibly be saying that because more and more people are going overseas to get their teeth done as it is much cheaper

why do people make it sound like investing is so easy.

we're not our parents and we shouldn't be so stupid.

they got an easy ride where everybody first made money for a long time and thought they were successful investments.

they rode an easy bubble in the real estate market and crashed and failed when they realised what noobs they were

Nobody said it was easy (at least, I'm not) but if you're disregarding the potential to earn money with the stock market, you're horribly misinformed.

genetic engineering

I want this job!.. in a few years we'll be doing designer babies and genetic altering of humans etc. yeah? It'll be big demand then I reckon.

Thats an awful thing to do.

Oh, I want a polka dot baby. Green and yellow. That just sounds ridiculous.

Check out the fee schedule below, it lists "National Priority Areas", which i guess are area's in demand.

A lot of job websites like seek, mycareer, ect some of those have job forecasts.

There was also a couple government guides we got in high-school that predicted growth in heaps and heaps of jobs, told you a little about them and what qualifications you need. You might want to look into that. ( I think it was called job guide or something..)

From my own personal opinion however, i reckon you cant go wrong with:

• Nursing
• Education
• Some Allied Health Professions (Eg. Physio, massage, even some alternative medicine areas you might be able to do quiet well in such as acupuncture  or tradional chinese medicine)

Fee Schedule

Future Work Opportunities

Migration Occupation List In Demand - Surely if we have to get people from other countries to do these jobs theyre in demand

Right on it'll be awesome .
Except for discrimination not based on race, but the purity of their genome and how much better someone is because they were altered haha.. ..oh shit ?
