The career i chose was a landscape architect. The outlook for landscape architects are expected to grow, and the predicted percent change is 20%. im pleased with the prediction because that means there will be more job availablility between 2008 and 2018, but on the other hand it might be a negative because there will be more competition for this perticular job. This isnt exactly my job of choice so yes im reconsidering a new career choice for myself.

The career I choose was Accountant and Bookkeeper. The outlook was that I won't have to worry about shortage of jobs due to those retiring and those changing careers. Job growth is steady and economic growth will only help foster more demand. And the perdict percentage is 10%. Yes I am please with this perdiction because this is the career I am planning to pursue. I did not pause and reconsider this job, this is the job of my choice.

For my career I chose Animal Care. The outlook for the next decade is that the career will grow, creating more opportunity for jobs. Although, the somewhat competive part of the career would be mammal training. The change in percent for jobs is 21%, which i was quite happy with, because it means there will be many more jobs available in 2018. I was somewhat confused on why the job availability would go up, but it did not make me think again about my choice!

The career I chose was Marketing Manager. The outlook was that the jobs will grow because companies will want advertisers to make their companies stand out more than the rest.However the advertising will need to be beyond tv, radio and print ads, you will need to be very creative. WIth the variety of skills needed for different types of advertising there will be more job opportunities.It might be hard to get a job becuase there are many creative people out there that have great new ideas. The change in percent for jobs is 13 percent, which means there will be more jobs available in 2018.I was happy with this because I like a little competition because I think it motivates me more.I dont know if I agree though, that there will be more jobs available. I think it will be the same as now.I would reconsider this choice of job because it is not really what im in to.

The career i chose was a registered nurse. i work in the medical field and treat sick people. The outlook is that in the next decade the job prospects will be looking excellent by the aging population and demand to keep health care costs down.The % of the change in 2008-2018 is 22% and i think that is good because nursing is always going to be available and necessary because people always get sick. I wouldnt change this career because i like helping people and it makes a good salary.

The career I chose was a professional Athlete. This was promising for me because the outlook for pro athletes is expected to grow by 23% by the year 2018. This is because of the Baby-Boomer decade getting more into golf and tennis, as well as the growing interest of health and fitness in the United States. I would not even consider changing this career because I am very much into athletics and it is my dream to play professional sports.

I chose the career of a sound engineer. The outlook is promising for audio and video engineers in small markets, but can be very competitive in radio and TV industries. The predicted percent change is 8%. This is not a very large change, but still opens up some jobs in the future. I would probably not reconsider this career choice because it is a passion of mine and it outlook still looks promising.

The career I selected was Meeting Planner for business. My outlook for 2018 is positive there will be a 16% change for more jobs in that field. This is because more and more industries are looking to become global and spread out, so they will need more coordinators for conventions and meetings. I am not positive that this is the career I'd want to pursue based on the "related jobs": Tax Examiner, Loan Officer, Cost Estimator, etc. If my profession is anything like those, I will be sure to look into other fields.

I chose a Public Relations Specialist. i was surprised when i found out how little they made! on adverage, only 52,000 a year but the job out look is good at just 24%. the outlook is good and has a huge possibility of becoming more competative and popular with large companies. so i am overall please with the results, but may reconsider despite the good out look.

For my career I chose to be an Accountant and the outlook is good due to an increase in accountability requirements. With a predicted percent change at 22%, and a median income of $59,430 this job has promising results. It's not my career of choice though, so despite the good outlook I don't see myself becoming an accountant.

The career i chose was in accounting. The percent change was 22%. I was very pleased with the outlook. It pretty much said it would be very easy to find a job in accounting. I definitely want to keep my eye on a job in that field.

The career I chose was Musician/Singer/Director. The outlook looks not so good. In the next decade the field is supposed to grow but still it would be most beneficial if I learned how to play other types of instruments and expanded my range of genres. I do agree with this outlook. It is making me reconsider my aspirations. I think I should chose something more realistic.

The careeer I chose was Lawyer. The Outlook is good. In the next decade, jobs will grow but competition will still be tight. The predicted percent change is 13%. I am pleased, yet it says that competition will still be tight which means it will be harder to find a job if I don't graduate with good grades from a good law school. I would still want to be a lawyer because once I find a job, I will be payed a good amount of money.
