Answer 2

Generally, government economists expect strong job growth in the health specialties. Jobs for pharmacists, optometrists, dietitians and nutritionists, and dietetic technicians should grow faster than the average for all careers through 2014. For physician assistants and pharmacy technicians, growth should be much faster than average. In fact, economists expect physician assisting to be the fourth-fastest-growing career through 2014. On the other hand, podiatrists and dispensing opticians should experience only average growth.

As the average age climbs, more people will need health care. For example, seniors will need help with such problems as glaucoma and cataracts. Middle-aged people will need optometrists to help them deal with computer-related eyestrain and farsightedness. And they'll need opticians to fit them with the latest in bifocals. However, the option of laser surgery should contain job growth for opticians.

Cost control in the health-care industry should promote growth for careers that pay less, while limiting growth for careers that pay more. For example, physician assistants already do many of the routine tasks that doctors once did. That saves money because doctors, who are paid more, are able to spend less time with each patient. This same trend will also limit job growth for podiatrists, optometrists, and dietitians and nutritionists.

The future for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians and assistants looks bright. The reasons for job growth in this field are many. Drug companies come up with new drugs all the time. More people have insurance that covers prescription drugs. Also, people ask more questions about the drugs they take than they once did. Graduating pharmacy students should find that there are more job openings in this field than job seekers. Drug stores try to cope with this shortage by hiring more pharmacy technicians and assistants and expanding their duties.
