If you are unsure of what career you want to pursue next there are two things to consider. First, I would take a career assessment. You can find FREE career assessments online at websites like monster.com and thebeehive.org. A career assessment should help guide you in the right direction. Secondly, I would research industry data. According to an article in the Jobs section of the Sunday Detroit Free Press you should research industries and job sectors that are experiencing worker shortages or still experiencing job growth.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics releases updated figures every month on occupational job growth. The following sectors have gained jobs this year: health care, education, government, food services, and IT(Information Technologies).
Ultimately, if you are considering going back to school or getting additional training then it would make sense to get training in sectors where there is job growth.
