As it turns out, the current recession has taken a twist and, although many people are still out of work, there is actually a shortage of qualified applicants for some high level positions. Those positions are:

  1. Accountants with corporate auditing experience
  2. Marketing managers in the healthcare fields
  3. Legal advisors with engineering degree
  4. Web developers with .NET experience
  5. Engineers qualified to manage “lean manufacturing” techniques

These positions are very specific and have recent financial and political events to thank for their sudden popularity. For instance, the need for accountants with corporate auditing experience is due to the Enron debacle and corporations’ current desire to avoid such a scandal at any cost. No price is too high to pay for a qualified auditor. At the same time, the healthcare field is the biggest emerging field right now. Even in a recession, it seems, people still get sick. So those who can market healthcare products and services stand to contribute greatly to their companies and gain a lot for themselves in the bargain. Even in today’s economy, there are still positions out there that pay well, but they do require extensive schooling, so stick to your books.
