According to the article, to get a job math skills are required in most of the top jobs they discussed. I would prefer the actuary, statistician, data scientist, and mathematician professions because they are all based on math which is one of my favorite subjects and I possess pretty sufficient skill in it. I would not prefer to be a software engineer, an occupational therapist, an audiologist, dental hygienist, or a computer systems manager because I wouldn't want to work with people and my computer skills are not advanced enough to work in a technology centric field.
ReplyDeleteIn preparing for and getting a job, I have two primary incentives. The first is interest because I do not want to enter a career that I do not enjoy doing every day. The second is salary because money is necessary to live and become prosperous. I hold interest slightly higher of my priorities but money must always be considered when it comes to jobs.
There are jobs that have grown in demand in 2015. These are considered the best jobs because of the high average yearly salary and control over your working hours. Skills that would be necessary to get a job in the future are math skills. It is a requirement for most of the jobs in the top 10 list. The ranking is based on four factors: work environment, income, stress and hiring outlook. The list starts off with Actuary at number one and Computer Systems Analyst as number ten. The income ranges from $71,000 to $102,000.
ReplyDeleteOf the ten professions on this list I would prefer Audiologist. I have a keen interest in the medical field. Plus there will be a great demand for them as the population gains more access to health care. Of the ten, that one seems more interesting to me. The one I would not prefer from the list is Dental Hygienist. I never had an interest in this job because I don’t think I would be able to perform the necessary tasks needed. My primary incentive in preparing for and getting a job is to be able to live on my own and afford the basic necessities of life. I prepare for a job by going to school and college.
In order to get a well paying job, one must need to have proficient skills in math and other sciences. My favorite subject in school is calculus, so I will probably get a job in a math-related field, such as a statistician or data scientist. I also have good computer skills so I could become a computer systems manager. However, I would not want to be a therapist.
ReplyDeleteMy major incentives in getting a job is for it to be well paying and interesting. I would not want to spend 20 or 30 years of my life doing something I do not like. However, my job also has to be well paying to can travel the world when I retire. I also want my job to be unique, one that is respectable and shows accomplishment. I am thinking of becoming a radiologist.
In the future, it appears that math, science, and health-related skills will be necessary to get a job in the future since the top jobs here relate to those skills. Also since some jobs are increasing in demand, it further implies that those skills will become increasingly necessary. Of these professions, I would prefer Biomedical Engineer and not prefer Statistician since I find science interesting and number crunching rather boring. My primary incentive in preparing for and getting a job is finding something that I would not dread to do. Something in the least bit interesting.
ReplyDeleteWith the job list presented in the article, it is necessary to have skills within math. Out of the jobs within the article, I would most definitely prefer to be a biomedical engineer, data scientist, software engineer, and mathematician because all these jobs are centered either on math or science and these are my favorite subjects to study upon. Out of the jobs on the list I least prefer to be an audiologist, dental hygienist, and occupational therapist. This is because I highly disregard any practices involving dentistry.
ReplyDeleteMy major incentives for getting a job is for the salary and the income I will receive, as well as the interest I have within the job. Money is undoubtedly an important necessity in life and is something to highly consider when selecting a professional job. Also, when finding a job it is important to me whether or not if I would enjoy doing that particular job knowing that I’m going to be doing it for a long time.
According to the article, the job list shows that it is necessary to learn and have skills in math which is nearly required in most of the jobs descriptions. Out of the ten jobs introduced, the job that grabs my attention would be the biomedical engineer or the mathmetician because of my fondness for science and math related opportunities. Math and science can both be elaborated and answered based on logic, which I see as an answer for most things. Out of the ten jobs, the job that I would least prefer is a data scientist or a software engineer because it focuses on the overall detail and research portion rather than taking action itself.
ReplyDeleteMy major incentive for getting a job is the salary and the experience itself. The salary will help me in the future but the experience cannot be replaced and it helps with a new employee's social pool, so to speak.
In the future it would seem that some of the skills that are necessary for earning one of the “Best Jobs of 2015” include: Mathematics skills, these jobs have plenty to do with being able to analyze and calculate data and other values, whether to find a solution to an equation or to help companies predict financial benefits and risks. Skills in the sciences are also needed for jobs in the medical profession and data collection. Oral Hygienists and Audiologists are becoming more and more in demand due to the growing access to health care. Finally skills regarding technology are also very much in demand, after all technology is rapidly growing. As such, people capable of developing new software, computer programs and phone applications, are all working to see who can bring out the next big thing. Of course there needs to be someone who understands the computers and systems themselves, so jobs as a Computer Systems Analyst is also going to be very well off in these times.
ReplyDeleteOut of all of the professions that are presented within this article I would prefer to pursue being a Mathematician. Personally I don’t dislike math and have found it to be very interesting and fun at some points, some equations feel more like solving a puzzle than grueling over difficult class work (but don’t get me wrong, there have been plenty of time that the subject was a pain in the neck). Also as the article states the profession is a very versatile one, “from technology and business to academia… people in these fields are highly rewarded”. Can’t complain with an income like that either.
When it comes to my primary incentive for preparing for and attaining a job I am split between two incentives. There is of course income to take into account after all I’m going to need to be able to pay the bills, buy groceries, investing in an emergency and retirement fund, The cost of getting married and having kids, and of course the other luxuries and hobbies that I’d like to take part in as well. Yet at the same time, what would be the point if I didn’t find any enjoyment from my job, the thing that I’ll be doing every day for the rest of my life till retirement? I also want to love and enjoy my job, to go to work and feel good about it. Not just from the pay, but also from simply doing the job. If I didn’t get any intrinsic motivation from the job itself my work ethic would plummet. In the end my incentive is split between a good income and having an enjoyment for the job itself.
Many skills will be useful in getting jobs in the future. However, many of the "best" jobs of 2015, based on work environment, income, stress, and hiring outlook, require math skills. Due to the shortage of qualified workers with a sufficient math background, the job outlook for math careers is very good, which boosts their rankings on this list. Other notable careers involve science(which would be either a medical field or a research field. The research field would probably include math as well as science) or computer coding/software engineer(in which math is also necessary). The professions listed that I am interested in are either actuary, mathematician, or statistician. I have always been interested in math and enjoy doing it. I was already interested in these possible career choices before reading this article so this article just adds an extra incentive to pursue the career. My primary incentive for getting a job is that it won't bore me. When I am interested in something, I can do the same thing over and over and do better at it each time. If it bores me, I will eventually want to do something else and may lose job stability. Another incentive is income but that isn't as important as long as I make a livable wage that will give me a chance to retire.
ReplyDeleteThe skills that will be necessary to get a job in the future will be the ability to compute mathematical problems. Not many people have math skills so those who do have them are highly sought after and are paid well. “There’s a real shortage of qualified people with math skills,” said Tony Lee, publisher of CareerCast.com. “And that’s offset by higher salaries. So not only do you have the opportunity to do what you love, you get paid really well and will likely have a pretty bright hiring prospect.” These jobs include mathematicians, statisticians, computer scientists, etc... What these jobs all share in common is that they require some sort of mathematical ability in a broad STEM field.
ReplyDeleteI’d prefer to be a software engineer. My primary incentive in getting a job is for it to have a high stable income with autonomy so that I can be a master of my own labor and for it to entertain me.

ReplyDeleteMy primary incentive for getting a job would be how interested I am in pursuing a career in and dedicating my life to this job. This is my primary incentive because I don’t want to be stuck in a dead end job that makes me hate my life even more than I ever possibly thought I could. Also, a job that I am interested in would make me a more productive worker and I could be better at fueling the capitalist machine, which should be everyone’s primary goal.
"Also, a job that I am interested in would make me a more productive worker and I could be better at fueling the capitalist machine, which should be everyone’s primary goal."
DeleteI approve.
Math skills are an essential requirement for most of the top ten jobs listed in this article. In general one should have good social skills, and a willingness to work hard in order to be successful in any career. I don't think I would prefer to work in any of the jobs listed in this article. I don't enjoy doing complex math and I do not get any satisfaction from cleaning a person's teeth or looking inside their ears. If I had to choose one job on this list, I would probably choose to be a software engineer. This job appeals to me because I always wanted to learn how to code and I find computers and the way they work fascinating.
ReplyDeleteMy primary incentive for getting a job and choosing a job is the size of the salary. As long as my profession offers a fat paycheck I think I would be satisfied, no matter what the conditions are. Thinking about becoming wealthy one day is the ultimate motivation for me to work hard and learn as much as I can in school.
Some common requirements for getting a job in the future would be some math skills as well as some type of college degrees to get a decent paycheck. People must also be dedicated and be able to put in the necessary effort in order to attain a job. Looking at the list, none of these jobs really jump out as desirable. While I am not one for math, an actuary is probably the most interesting along that list.
ReplyDeleteMy primary incentives for a job would be a decent salary and doing something that I love. I can't focus on a job area that I won't have fun with or enjoy doing five days a week.
The article states that math skills are becoming ever more important, and that there is a real shortage of qualified people with math skills. I would prefer biomedical engineer. I am fairly good at biology and other higher sciences and enjoy them, so i think i would like biomedical engineer. My primary incentive in preparing for a job is to that i can earn money. Money makes the world go round, and while it does not guarantee a great life, it will certainly go help in having one and getting me what i like or want.

Also as the article states the profession is a very versatile one, “from technology and business to academia… people in these fields are highly rewarded”. Can’t complain with an income like that either.
According to the article, math skills are required in most of the top jobs they discussed. Math skills are a requirement for most of the 10 best jobs of 2015, according to the latest report from CareerCast. “There’s a real shortage of qualified people with math skills,” said Tony Lee. Also, I see that a lot of the jobs have to do with health. I think I would prefer being an actuary because I think it would be interesting analyze financial risk. The main incentive for me is my annual salary and the amount of stress it puts on me.
ReplyDeleteThe article gets straight to the point with this week’s topic. According to Che, your life should be a walk in the park is math is your forte. CareerCast just did a report on the 200 best jobs for 2015, and there is majority of math-related careers taking over the top ten. These jobs are determined by work environment, stress, hiring outlook and income. Specific doctoral positions are high up there of course but they also manage to take a second seat to positions like statistician, mathematicians and, in the first position, actuaries. Jobs with flexible hours and deadlines are often placed higher on the scale because those working these positions tend to be more comfortable with their workloads and consequently enjoy doing their work more than they would normally. The common denominator among all of these jobs is the need to hold a high competency for math and numbers. If I had to choose a career based off of the options available on the list, software engineer or data scientist took my attention very quickly. My primary incentives in joining the software engineering field resides in my interest in computer technology and interest to learn more of the concepts. Similarly, I would be inclined towards data sciences because I find the application of extended numbers to true actions through statistics to be an interesting field as well. The hefty incomes don’t really hurt their appeal either. (:
ReplyDeleteMath skills are important skills to have for getting a job in this, the modern era. Gone are the days where hard work and working off the fat of the land would be enough to get by- no now fancy computations are how hardworking Americans make their “well-earned” money. I would prefer to be an occupational therapist because it relates closely to my chosen future career as a child psychologist. However, I would not like to be any of the other jobs listed on this website because I am mathematically impotent and all the other jobs require some mathematical ability. My primary incentive in getting a job, is not money, it is, however, job satisfaction. I want the ability to look into a child’s eyes that I have psychoanalyzed, and see that I have fixed them. The feeling that I will get when I fix a child will mean more to me than any amount of money ever could.
ReplyDeleteThe skills necessary to get a job in the future according to this article would be math skills. Out of all these professions listed, I would prefer to become a software engineer because I have always been interested in technology and its vast functionality that everyone has continued to depend on. Computers have always intrigued me due to the way we use it for research, entertainment, and other things that outside resources could never compare to. However, I would never really would like to become an audiologist since I have always steered away from the medical field as I fear of the things I could mess up and negatively affect the patients who depend on me.
ReplyDeleteThe primary incentives I have in order to prepare and get a job would be to acquire a job that I would always enjoy doing every day of my life with no regrets in what I chose to major in. I would not want to work in an occupation that does not give me some enjoyment in what I am doing, yet if the salary heavily outweighs the former I would take the higher paid occupation. I would prefer to have a high paying job if it is at the cost of my happiness in order to support myself and family because that is why I chose to study hard in the first place.
Based on the article, the skill that will be vital to get a job in the future will be the ability to compute mathematical problems. Now a days, not a lot of people have math skills so those who do are highly sought after. “And that’s offset by higher salaries. So not only do you have the opportunity to do what you love, you get paid really well and will likely have a pretty bright hiring prospect.” These jobs include mathematicians, statisticians, computer scientists, etc... These abilities increases and expands as technology moves forward so people needs to also have the skill to keep up. What these jobs all share in common is that they require some sort of mathematical ability in a broad STEM field.
ReplyDeleteMy primary incentive for getting a job is that I will be happy while still making money.I would want to enjoy going in to work and knowing I am doing my best while creating satisfaction for myself. Income is very important as well as I aim to live a comfortable life and be able to live a good life when I become retired and old.
The article suggests that a strong background in mathematics, science, and health-related skills will be useful for attaining the top jobs in America in the future. Although math is probably my best subject, I would prefer to be a biomedical engineer. Math certainly helps in this study but I am more interested in the design and problem solving skills of engineering with medical and biological sciences to advance health care treatment than I am in simply analyzing data or practicing mathematical formulas.
ReplyDeleteMy primary incentive in continuing in this career path is just having a genuine interest in wanting to learn more. I don't see the educational part of this path (going to medical school, attending classes, etc.) as a burden as some people may see it; I actually enjoy learning the medical aspects of it. Another incentive is the possibility of changing peoples' lives through medical breakthroughs. The high-paying salaries are no doubt a big part of the incentive to choose this career path, but they are not my primary or even secondary motives.
According to the article the top skill needed for some of the best jobs in the future is math, but technological and health-related skills would also be needed in some of the jobs that were in the top 10. I'd prefer the biomedical engineer job the most out of all the professions listed because it is the one closest to the medical field and with a degree in this field I could be creating medications and engineering prosthetic limbs and mechanisms of that nature. My primary incentive for preparing for and getting a job would be to be able to properly provide for my family when I am older. I do not want to be struggling when I'm older, especially if I have a family, living comfortably would be ideal for me and getting a well paying, low stress job would be the key to that.
ReplyDeleteBased on the information provided in the article the skills necessary for a positive job outlook in the future are primarily math skills. On the list there are none that I think I would particularity enjoy doing. However if I had to pick one I would choose bio medical engineering because I think it would have the most variety and that interests me the most. The main thing I look forward in getting a job is something that I will enjoy, but not make me have to live in a cardboard box. I feel I have already found my career as in August I am going to Great Lake Maritime Academy and I will graduate in 4 years with my third mates license and eventually work my way up to be a captain on the great lakes. I will enjoy this because it has a good job outlook so I won't be unemployed, it pays well, and everyday you will face new challenges so I won't get bored.
ReplyDeleteThe skills that are necessary to get a job are really mathematical skills, though I agree with a comment that many of these jobs might not be as profitable as they seem – many companies obtain visas and outsourcing as ways to lower costs. Regardless, “Math skills are a requirement for most of the 10 best jobs of 2015.” There is a huge shortage of people in the science and healthcare sector so those skills are highly valued.
ReplyDeleteOf the professions listed, I can see myself becoming an actuary. I’d rather not do anything engineering wise, lest I blow up the facility – math theory is something I’d probably be better at, or statistics (both of those fields fall, really, into the same place). Of the remaining jobs, I can’t really see myself in any. The job I want to pursue isn’t written here, because I don’t necessarily plan to do a technology degree. I don’t want to live in a box for the rest of my life. My life is inevitably fleeting, so I might as well choose something to procure some sense of physical value in my life, falling into the cyclic pattern of conformity is the only way to keep from the disillusioning sadness of the worldly process of life and death, and taxes. But if I had to choose, I would say that being an occupational therapist is what I’m least opposed to doing. The pay isn’t sufficient for that line of work. My primary goal in choosing a career is majority an interest in my salary.
👌
DeleteAccording to the article, the skill that is most suited for the top ten listed careers is math. Those with this advantage have a higher probability of a higher paycheck than those who don't. Of all the positions listed, I would be most interested in being a computer systems analyst. I would help to be a catalyst for change in our fast-paced technological era. No to mentioned that these guys make lots of money, not that it's the most important thing, but it's a plus. The main thing when looking for a job, is to gain experiences and build references. You always should have someone who a prospective boss can call and have a good report on you (hopefully)
ReplyDeleteMath skills will be among the necessary skills to get a future job especially since there is a real shortage of those with mathmatic skills. I personallly would prefer to be the Biomedical engineer become it is like a hybrid between teh evnornment and artificial programs. i would hate being the mathmatecian because that type of math is like a adapted theorems problem not straightforward movement. My primary incentives in get to these schools is focus on school stair but now kids all have ipads so thats a problem.
ReplyDeleteSkills that would be necessary to get a job in the future are math skills. It is a requirement for most of the jobs in the top 10 list. These jobs include mathematicians, statisticians, computer scientists, etc.
ReplyDeleteI don’t enjoy math, but i am proficient in the subject area; Sad to say, but not one job of the 10 interests me… My primary incentive for getting a job is that I will be happy while still making money. I can’t become something i won’t enjoy. The career area(s) i’d like to pursue are among Social Sciences and Int’l Relations; I would want to enjoy going in to work but still having a substantial income.
Many skills are necessary for jobs of today. The "best jobs of 2015" have many factors in common such ad education, stress level, income and so on. The most significant factor is the math skills needed in order to do the job. Currently, there is a shortage on qualified mathematical workers. The lack of competition for such careers makes the job opportunities for these people very lucrative and varied. Other careers included were those in the medical and research field. These also are very scientific and require extensive knowledge in both the math and sciences.
ReplyDeleteI hope to pursue a career somewhere in the medical field, whether it be something like bioengineering and developing prosthetics and surgerical technology in the future, or becoming a doctor in internal medicine and helping people get better. My primary incentive for this career is knowing that I will not tire of it. Medicine is a field where I could be a doctor for 30 years, and still learn from my profession. There is no monotony, and I will have to use skills I acquire over time to treat people or figure out how to develop a new technology. Depending on the situation, the solutions are varied, and I cannot wait to sharpen my critical thinking skills to solve different problems. It is also very rewarding to know that what I do affects someone significanly, and knowing that I an making a difference in people's lives makes it worthwhile.

ReplyDeleteBased on this article math skills are most essential for the most well paying jobs in 2015. If I had to pick a field to get a job in the list of jobs presented I would pick the audiologist. I would pick this field because our generation will have large hearing problems due to headphones, loud concerts and increasing noise pollution! My goal after graduation of college is actually not to get a job its to start my business. As we move into the information age starting your own business will be more finically stable. I would just like to obtain my degree so I can qualify and have the proper education so start a solid company!
ReplyDeleteThere are numerous skills that are required for when choosing a job. The article leans heavily onto the premise that if you want a "top end" job, you would have to be skillful in mathematics, or science or anything health related. I would not categorize myself as a "math person" by any means and by default would not enjoy any of the jobs that were mentioned on the list. If we are basing this off of how much I would enjoy the job, my previous statement still stands.
ReplyDeleteMy primary incentives into preparing and getting a job is highly up to a. whether I will be (and remain) happy working for what I do, and b. if I make a substantial amount of money, to not only keep me from living in a box, but hopefully to be able to splurge every now and then on things I may not necessarily need. As mentioned before, I am not a math person, and would much rather take on a job in the Arts category, more specifically, performing; something interesting. Not to say that dissecting lab animals and analyzing formulas isn't what I would suggest for when people ask "what fun things do you want to do" but I think my preference of occupation will serve as a much more suitable answer to that question.
According to the article, to get a job math skills are required for almost all of the top ten jobs. This means there is a growing demand for math skills. Out of all the jobs being a biomedical engineer is the job that really jumps out at me, although math professorship seems cool I would really feel as though I am giving anything to society as a whole, it just seems like biomedical engineer has a greater chance of having a big impact on society. My primary incentives for getting a job would be the income and impact on society, money is needed just because it would be cool to be a person who has a say in how society should be functioning, also if I had a job that was very impactful to society that could get me the popularity I need to be someone of power.
ReplyDeleteIt appears that a strong background in math, science, or health fields are needed for many potential careers leading into the future. Of the careers listed here I would prefer to pursue the route of a data scientist due to my inclination to research, data analysis, and problem solving, however none of the the careers listed are quite for me, as I'd prefer to do the majority of research outside of the laboratory. My primary incentive for the continuing of my education and preparations into joining the science community as, hopefully, a well respected and reputable expert on environmental and conservation sciences is to see through the sustainable revolution as we progress into the future. I hope to work side by side with renewable energy scientist and engineers as well as environmental economists and biologists. With enough effort I plan on joining and speaking in world councils and committees speaking out on climate change, environmental rehabilitation and possibly "rewilding" projects.
