The Best Job in the World!

Despite of the recession occurred in the US there still a job that they call as "the best job in the world." Is that believable? Yes it is! and that is in Australia.

The successful applicant will be paid 150,000 Australian dollars (105,000 US dollars) and includes free airfares from the winner's home country to Hamilton Island on the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland's state government announced on Tuesday. This job is really awesome!

In return, the "island caretaker" will be expected to stroll the white sands, snorkel the reef, take care of "a few minor tasks" -- and report to a global audience via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates.

In addition, the successful applicant, who will stay rent-free in a three-bedroom beach home complete with plunge pool and golf buggy, must be a good swimmer, excellent communicator and be able to speak and write English. Well, what do you think about this?

According to Paul Lucas as the acting state premier "They'll also have to talk to media from time to time about what they're doing so they can't be too shy and they'll have to love the sea, the sun, the outdoors,"

Whoever may get this job six months job, I would surely say that they are so lucky, they will be able to experience the best job in the world.

Careers and Recession

Economy is ups and down, numbers of people lost their jobs. What do you think would be the future of the nation? Hopefully the US economy can recover soon and start booming again.

According to the Bureau of Statistics (BSL) there are still the fastest-growing occupations and career groups that are predicted to enjoy the largest numerical increases in personnel through 2016, and I think anyone should watch out for those careers. To mention them below is the list.

Health Care Sectors: Keep Going

• Personal and Home Health care aids: An associate's degree. Home health care aids will be the 2nd fastest growing profession and predicted that will grow 50% astounding through 2007.

• Dental Hygienists . Another associate's degree that is predicted to grow by 30 percent through 2016.

• Registered Nurses: Either Associate's or bachelor's degree. This is the largest health care occupation that will add around 587 new jobs between 2006-2019.

• Physical Therapist: Master's degree.

• Mental Health and Substance Abuse Counselors: Bachelor's or master's degree. The BLS predicts a 34 percent increase in jobs for substance abuse counselors and a 30 percent overall rise in positions for mental health counselors.

Education: Hiring Appears Steady
Teachers in public and private elementary schools will still be in demand, as will post-secondary teachers, instructors, and professors. Hiring needs should be sparked by retirements, despite the economy.

• Elementary school teachers: Bachelor's degree, certification/credential. Openings for elementary school teachers will be best in States undergoing high enrollments (Nevada, Arizona, Texas, and Georgia) and in rural districts.
  
• Post-secondary teachers: Master's degree or doctorate. The BLS predicts a 23 percent increase in hiring.

Technology Sectors: Retain Priorities
As the crunch deepens, businesses will be looking for consultants in IT management and support to help streamline services, hold the bottom line, and bolster operating efficiency. It's positive to consider that some 90 percent of all current IT employees are employed by non-technology businesses and organizations. Globalization increases the need for engineers and researchers with career expertise--as well as an ongoing need for entry-level support staff.

• Computer Support Specialists. Associate's or bachelor's degree. Expect increases to reach 18 percent over the decade despite outsourcing. Graduates with career training in technical support, customer service, and certifications will move to the front of the hiring line.

• Computer Software Engineers, Applications: Bachelor's degree. The BLS is predicting a 38 percent increase in overall hiring through 2016, generating 324,000 new openings. You'll need a bachelor's degree in computer science or programming to compete, and a post-graduate degree and additional certifications to rise in the field.

• Computer and Information Scientists, Research: Doctorate. There's room (and security) at the top. Jobs for computer scientists and database administrators are predicted to grow by 37 percent during the 2006-2016 decade. Many advanced IT managers and project leaders choose to escape private companies for the relative security of college and university research labs that offer tenure.
