Saucy has a good point. Look at demographics when planning a career. Anything to do with senior citizens will be an area of higher demand.
One thing I’ve noticed is that people do best when they get some related work experience BEFORE they get their college degree in that field. It helps them stand out from the crowd of graduates, and increases the odds of getting hired. Also, by “rubbing elbows” with people doing the job you think you want, will help you to figure out if that career is a good fit with your likes & dislikes. Even if you are only a go-fer, you’ll be able to network with people who can help you later.
