Hot Jobs, Cool Customers

To most people "hot" jobs are those that get lots of media attention: jobs that offer status, creative expression, and sometimes – at the very top – high earnings. Jobs in fashion and interior design, photography, and in the airline industry continue to be the most sought after.

But, how much demand is there for these high-profile jobs in California? Would there be jobs during an economic downturn? Could you transfer your skills easily to another job? Let's look at "hot" another way.

To career counselors, "hot" jobs are occupations in demand that offer a good number of job openings, future opportunities, and living wages. For example, the projected demand in Los Angeles for registered nurses over the next 10 years is more than 30,000. That's more than 3,000 openings a year in Los Angeles County alone, for a job that earns about $69K a year!
