My teachers had said that the world had changed over the past decade, many jobs and careers that existed are gone, and many new careers are introduced because of many new technologies. (Take computer programmers and webpage designers for example)
Some people say that the field of economics has potential in the future. Maybe a career in electrical engineering, or something in buisness. What courses should i take if i want to be self-employed.
So confused... any advice?
Going into university, I would like to know what career fields have most potencial in the next 5 to 10 years?
i would pick any engineering field as guaranteed to still be in demand.
my second choice would be physics.
i would only do a biz degree if you were doing a double major, because it seems like lots and lots of people thinkg a biz degree is the way to big money. I think the field will be overcrowded.

if you want to be self-employed, take buisness classes. buisness is the most versatile. but honestly, do something you have a passion for. something you want to learn about. college is not solely to land a job. it is to gain knowledge. the job is what you must apply that knowledge to.
Whatever it is you are passionate about, if you want a fulfilling life. If you want to be rich, anything regarding finance. If you want it all, think about the travel industry. When the majority of baby boomers retire in the next 5 - 10 years there will be a lot of people with time and money. Think about it, if you had time and money what would you do more of???
In the United States, the top ten jobs for college graduates, in terms of growth are:
1. Network systems and data communications analysts
2. Physician assistants
3. Computer software engineers, applications
4. Physical therapist assistants
5. Dental hygienists
6. Computer software engineers, systems software
7. Network and computer systems administrators
8. Database administrators
9. Physical therapists
10. Forensic science technicians
This is per 2014 forecasts of United States Bureau of Labor Statistics.
If you want to be self employed, skip school. No really. University costs too much and as a self employed person, you won't see any return from having a degree. You can teach yourself the basics of running a business by reading free information online and book in the library. More confusing is what kind of business should I start, but that's an entire new question.
More importantly, try to be happy. Follow your inner-voice into whatever may interest you the most.
