Demand in Australia
« on: January 29, 2010, 09:29:56 am »

What are the surpluses and shortages in that we'll see in the near future (2012 onwards) in the job market? I was contemplating a career in medicine, but after reading through much sources, it seems it is too out of reach, as well as experiencing a trend in surplus of premedschool students which current internship places cannot accommodate to.

Is there any demand for people in law?

What are new areas that will be need in the future? E.g Green Technology

nah, forget law
there seems to already be a surplus there (hence they dont actually get paid that much anymore)

Law? Hell no.

Engineering seems to always be in demand...

It seems a lot more students these days are choosing to study engineering. So maybe by the time we all finish our engineering courses job spots might fill up real quickly

Engineering is an area in great demand. I would also say that the health sectors are also in demand, even though a lot of people are arguing there are too many med students we still have many doctors who are overworked.

This time last year I had my hopes on engineering due to demand, but in first year I ended up hating it and decided to do a mathematical physics major because I really enjoyed maths and physics (even though the demand is pretty dull).

Is there any sectors in engineering that doesn't require intense mathematical application, and focuses more on biology? E.g Human Engineering (if there's such a thing)

Umm I think there's a few disciplines such as Biological/Biomedical Engineering, Pharmaceutical Engineering and maybe Environmental Engineering?

There was also an article in the paper about teacher's being in more demand (particularly maths/science teachers).

unfortunately, since engineering is REPORTED as being in demand (or recently has been) it won't be in the future

that's what happened to law and medicine

now, since trends and statistics are awesome and human nature is so so predictable

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

its all a trend, just find what stage society should b at in a few years time (or whenever u wanna finish ur degree) and get into the right industry for big $$

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
