<p>What will be the highest paying careers or most in demand careers in 5 years?</p>
<p>What do you think these careers will be and why?</p>
<p>Law and Medicine always pay well, but some up and coming ones: </p>
<p>Biotech - an exponentially growing field, ethanol, pharmaceuticals and others keep this industry growing and lucrative.</p>
<p>Chemical Engineering - Energy, energy, energy. nuff said</p>
<p>Economy will be fine 5 years down the rode..leaves you to think what jobs right now pay the most.</p>
<p>Teachers, Doctors and Lawyers will always be in demand</p>
<p>I think that Civil Engineering and anything related to construction and the environment will shoot up over the next several years. Obama has vowed to spend money on rebuilding our infrastructure so that is good for civil engineers. Also, we are being more conscious of our environment and are trying to go "green" so environmental engineers will help in that part.</p>
<p>Ok, what types of lawyers do you think will be in demand?</p>
<p>Prosecutors and White Collar Crime Defense Attorneys. With all the money flowing to public works, public corruption will be on the rise. Prosecutors, and FBI will investigate and the Defense attorneys will defend.</p>
<p>Separately, anything to service the retiring baby boomers will be on the rise. Financial Services, Leisure, Travel, Education, and Healthcare.</p>
