Eight Industries for Bilingual Workers

According to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2006 American Community Survey, approximately 80 percent -- or 223.2 million people -- of Americans use only English at home. The remaining 20 percent -- 55.8 million people -- speak a language other than English. Add the millions of tourists visiting the country each year and you have a huge demand for workers who can communicate in more than one language.
Thankfully, bilingual workers come to the rescue. In almost every line of work the ability to speak a second language makes you a valuable asset. Any job that requires you to interact with customers -- either in person, on the phone or online -- can use your knowledge of a second (or third) language. Think about it: Every additional customer you can speak with not only improves his or her experience but also brings in revenue to your employer.

The states with the largest percentage of citizens speaking a language other than English at home are California, New Mexico, Texas, New York and Arizona. Spanish is by far the most popular non-English language spoken at home with roughly 34 million speakers nationwide.  Still, there are millions of people speaking other languages -- including French, German, Mandarin, Arabic and lesser known languages -- that also benefit from bilingual workers.

If you speak more than one language or have thought about learning a second one, here are some industries and jobs where your skills will come in handy.

Industry: Health care
Why: Patients visiting emergency rooms and doctor's offices come from all walks of life. In fact, America's reputation as a leader in medicine attracts people from around the world, so you never know what language you'll hear when someone walks through the door.
Jobs: Registered nurse, paramedic, physician's assistant, home health aide

Industry: Hospitality
Why: Spas, resorts and hotels help visitors escape their daily routine and makes them feel like royalty. Creating a little bit of paradise -- for a tourist or a local just trying to get away -- is easier when you can understand what your client is saying to you.
Jobs: Concierge, resort manager, hotel manager, desk clerk

Industry: Education
Why: One of the richer aspects of an American education is the exposure to different cultures. You can walk into most classrooms, from kindergarten through graduate levels, and find students who come from multilingual households or who are studying abroad.
Jobs: Teacher, ESL instructor, guidance counselor

Industry: Law enforcement
Why: Among the many duties of law enforcement personnel is interviewing people, either to solve crimes or to understand what's happening in a conflict. You can save a lot of time (and maybe even a life) if you don't have to wait for an interpreter.
Jobs: Police officer, investigator, security guard, probation officer, corrections officer

Industry: Customer service
Why: Every aspect of customer service involves dealing with people. Depending on where you work, you might have customers who are tourists or who come from households where English isn't spoken. Knowing more than one language means you can communicate to a larger amount of visitors, which both your employer and customers will appreciate.
Jobs: Sales clerk, demonstrator, retail store supervisor, computer support specialist, customer service representative

Industry: Social services
Why: Social service workers meet with families, adoption agencies and schools in order to ensure the wellbeing of children. The fewer language barriers between the worker, children and important people in their environment, the smoother things can run.
Jobs: Family social worker, substance abuse social worker, social work administration

Industry: Finance
Why: Money doesn't only stay on one continent, so in the world of finance, whether you're a teller or the CEO of an investment bank, you're dealing with euros and yen and the languages that come with them.
Jobs: Teller, financial adviser, investment banker, accountant

Industry: Communication
Why: Whether your job is talking to the media or writing for a publication, words are your livelihood. The more you know, the better you can do your job. Whether it enables you to speak to a reporter or interview a source for a story, being bilingual makes your job easier.

Jobs: Translator, public relations specialist, journalist, media relations officer

America's 10 Most-Wanted Workers

As more workers from the baby boomer generation retire, millions of jobs are opening up across a variety of industries; unfortunately, hiring managers are having trouble filling these vacant positions. 
The reason?  In some instances, there is simply a lack of interest in certain industries, such as manufacturing.  Many of today's young professionals are focusing on jobs that require computer and analytical thinking skills, rather than ones that require working with their hands.  In many cases, however, especially for hiring managers looking to fill management positions, the problem isn't a lack of candidates, but a lack of qualified candidates. 
In order to resolve this problem, some employers are offering incentives to older workers who are willing to delay retirement for a few years. Others are offering hiring bonuses to attract new, more-qualified workers.  Still, other companies are going right to the source of the problem, setting up courses with colleges and universities that train skilled workers or to pay students' tuition to prepare them for specialized work.  Companies like Exelon and General Electric are providing research grants and scholarships for power engineering programs at four-year colleges.  And the Natural Association of Manufacturers recently established the "Dream It. Do It." program to train young professionals and garner interest in manufacturing careers among students.
According to Manpower, Inc.'s 2007 Talent Shortage Survey, the following jobs are most in need of qualified workers right now.  Due to high demand, pursuing a job in one of these fields could mean increased pay and more benefits for those willing to take the plunge.

Hot Careers That Are Hiring Now

Find out which careers are currently experiencing strong hiring rates. Then see how you can prepare to get in on the action.

Want to change careers? Perhaps you're looking to return to the work force after a break. Either way, we have good news: There are a variety of hot careers that are hiring now.

"I'm seeing many people getting more opportunities and even multiple job offers," says Cynthia Shapiro, a career expert and author of "What Does Somebody Have to Do to Get a Job Around Here!"
In fact, employers expect to hire over 10 percent more new graduates from the graduating class of 2012 than they did from the class of 2011, according to the National Association of College and Employers' (NACE) "Job Outlook 2012 Spring Update."

And the increase in jobs isn't just isolated to a single location or industry. "It's happening all across America, in a wide variety of industries," adds Shapiro.

Here's a sampling of five hot careers that are hiring now. Keep reading to learn more about why - and how you can get prepped to pursue one.

Career #1 - Medical Assistant

Got organizational skills, an attention to detail, and an interest in the medical field? If so, a career in medical assisting could be a good fit.
Medical assistants often help a doctor's office run smoothly, and could do everything from filing patients' paperwork and scheduling appointments to measuring vital signs and sterilizing medical instruments, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
Hot Factors: From 2010 to 2020, employment of medical assistants is projected to grow by 31 percent, faster than the average for all occupations, says the Department of Labor. Job demand could stem from physicians wanting to hire more medical assistants to complete routine administrative and clinical duties, adds the Department.

"Medical assistants can do some of the work a doctor can do at a lower cost - and that saves companies and medical offices money," says Hallie Crawford, an Atlanta-based career coach and founder of Create Your Career Path, a career coaching firm.
Education Options: Although medical assistants can learn on the job, some employers may prefer candidates with formal education, says the Department. Such programs could include a certificate or associate's degree in medical assisting.

Career # 2 - Paralegal

Don't want to go through law school but still fascinated by the legal system? Good news, you don't have to spend the time and money on law school to get into the legal field.
Paralegals lawyers prepare for hearings, trials, and corporate meetings, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. They might even get to research case law and write legal documents and arguments.
Hot Factors: The paralegal field could see its employment grow by 18 percent from 2010 to 2020, says the Department of Labor. Following cutbacks during the recent recession, some law firms are rebuilding their support staff by hiring paralegals, adds the Department.

"Paralegals can do things a lawyer can do for a lower cost, so it's necessary to have them readily available," says Crawford.
Education Options: An associate's degree in paralegal studies is one common route to preparing for a paralegal career, according to the Department. If you already have a bachelor's degree, look into earning a certificate in paralegal studies.

Career #3 - Accountant

Are you good with numbers and don't mind balancing your checkbook? As an accountant, you could put your math skills to good use by helping others with their finances.
Working with companies, individual clients, or even the government, an accountant could help clients prepare, analyze, and verify the accuracy of their financial documents, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Some accountants might even offer budget analysis and financial and investment planning.
Hot Factors: "Accountants are always in need, because the public will always need help with finances - not to mention, someone has to handle our taxes," says Shapiro.

The Department of Labor projects that job growth for accountants will hit 16 percent from 2010 to 2020. In addition, there appears to be an increased focus on accounting in response to corporate scandals and current financial crises, says the Department.
Education Options: Look into earning a bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field. According to the Department, most accountants have this credential.

Career # 4 - Public Relations Specialist

If you enjoy reaching out to others and communication is one of your stronger skills, consider pursuing an in-demand career in public relations.
Working with clients - that could range from businesses, nonprofits associations, universities, or hospitals - public relations specialists can help their clients build and maintain positive relationships with the public, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Responsibilities might include writing press releases, speaking to media contacts, and planning PR programs.
Hot Factors: Employment for public relations specialists is projected to grow 23 percent from 2010 to 2020, says the Department of Labor. Growth could be driven by the need for organizations to maintain their public image in this Internet age and with the growth of social media, adds the Department.

"Companies need well-qualified people that understand social media," says Shapiro. "Some companies are hiring in-house positions, while others are hiring outside companies to manage their communications."
Education Options: A bachelor's degree in a communications-related field like public relations, journalism, or communications is generally required to prepare to pursue a career as a public relations specialist, according to the Department.

Career # 5 - Computer Software Developer

If you have a knack for understanding the "ins and outs" of computers - and the programs that run on them - a career in software development could be a good fit for you.
With the opportunity to create different types of software, from video games to word processors, software developers could be in charge of a software program's whole development process, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. They're also the ones to fix or improve the computer program if an error occurs.
Hot Factors: The Department of Labor projects 30 percent job growth for software developers from 2010 to 2020.

"Job demand for computer software engineers is on the rise because our economy relies so much on the software these engineers develop and maintain," says Crawford.
Education Options: Look into earning a bachelor's degree in computer science or software engineering. According to the Department, this is the typical credential of software developers.

Turning a Part-Time Kiddie Job Into a Full-Time Adult Career

These juvenile gigs could mature into something greater

Proactive parents might say it's never too early to begin plotting a child's career development. Proactive parents might be right.
The unemployment rate recently fell to a 15-month low, but many of the jobs available require skill sets that today's job seekers largely don't possess. If you want your children to be hire-worthy and employed as adults, it's appropriate to begin preparing them for their future now. Gregory Downing, a father, educator, and the author of Entrepreneur Unleashed: Wealth to Stand the Test of Time, is working on a series of books on "how families can take control of their financial future and take control of the economic crisis." According to him, many traditional kid jobs could teach children basic career and life skills like networking, marketing, and budgeting. Those jobs could even start your child on the right path for career planning. "Instill those skills in your kids at an early age, and there's no telling what they might come up with," he says. "Who says your child can't be the next Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg?"
Here's an example of four juvenile jobs that could mature into more substantial full-time careers:

Kids Ages 3 to 6
From running the neighborhood refreshment stand ... Doling out bargain-priced sugary drinks is rarely the pathway to riches. But so what if your kid's lemonade stand isn't the next Berkshire Hathaway, Inc.? This quintessential "kiddie" job makes for a great way to teach the basics of business. Children learn fundamentals about economics (those that make tasty drinks on the cheap will see the most profits); the importance of location to business (place the stand on the sidewalk by the four-way stop. It'll get more foot traffic than in a hidden-away cul-de-sac); and the nuances of sales (mannerable kids with good people skills will sell more). Even Peanuts' bossypants Lucy van Pelt saw the perks of the roadside stand: She used the same principle to run her 5-cent psychiatric booth.
To marketing manager ... Let's say your child learns that selling wintertime cocoa only during the hours that the neighbors are shovelling snow is more profitable than selling lemonade all summer long. Understanding market trends like this, then coming up with a plan to successfully promote them is part of a day's work for a marketing manager. This field should grow 13.6 percent to the end of this decade, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). To gain entry, your kid will probably need a bachelor's degree in business, but several other fields of study could also lead to career success, including accounting, finance, statistics, or even public relations and journalism. In 2011, the average salary for a marketing manager was $116,010.

Kids Ages 7 to 11
From dog walker ... A definitive perk for entering this kiddie business is high demand. Dogs are such a common household pet, but owners with the free time to give them the daytime exercise they need aren't as common. And unlike some other kid-friendly jobs, dog-walking won't take up much time, since kids could walk more than one pet at a time at designated intervals in the day. At the same time, being a neighborhood dog walker also teaches the responsibility of keeping to a set schedule and building loyalty and trust with clients. This gig is a good fit for slightly older children who are mature enough to care for the needs of another living thing, and have less-than-squeamish stomachs for cleaning up and disposing of waste.
To veterinarian ... Some adults have made dog-walking a full-fledged career. According to the job-search site Indeed.com, pet sitters/dog walkers earn an average salary of around $28,000, which is more than some paramedics, pharmacy technicians, and security guards take home in a year. But for more variety, more money, and more job security, consider veterinary medicine. Programs take four years to complete, and after meeting the licensing requirements of their state of residence, veterinarians command a starting salary of around $50,000. In 2011, the highest-paid earned six-figure salaries, and the BLS expects the field to grow 36 percent in the next eight years.

Kids Ages 12 to 14
From babysitter ... Not everyone has the chops to babysit. The best do more than just "watch" children; they also play games and do crafts, and they might even assist with homework, bath time, and preparing snacks. Responsible, patient sitters with safety training are able to juggle a larger clientele and command more pay. The online babysitter-booking service UrbanSitter recently reported that average hourly rates to sit one child range from $9.50 an hour in St. Louis to $15.50 an hour in New York City.

To school counselor ... Being a school counselor is more than an occupation, it's a calling. But it could be just the calling for those who enjoyed babysitting when younger. Both positions require attentiveness to a child's social, developmental, and academic needs. Counselors are specially trained to best know how to relate to and work with children, plus they're qualified to evaluate cognitive and social abilities, and provide the guidance and support necessary to deal with them. Counselors also offer advice on issues ranging from bullying and abuse to career paths and choosing a college. The BLS expects a 19 percent increase in school counselors by the year 2020. To find work in this field, a job seeker would need a bachelor's degree—possibly even a master's—in education and counseling, plus a state license. Average pay varied from $32,140 to $87,020 in 2011.

Kids Ages 15 to 18
From lawn mower ... Earning extra funds this way is best reserved for older teens since it requires operating complex and sometimes dangerous machinery. And to be competitive, your teenager will need to charge less than a landscaping company—this summer The Wall Street Journal reported homeowners spent between $35 and $67.50 for professional lawn services. Loyal clients/neighbors might also pay your enterprising teen to rake their leaves in fall and shovel their snow in winter.
To landscape architect ... Those who like tilling earth and soil will find there's no formal education requirement to enter landscaping. Full-time landscapers and groundskeepers with on-the-job training earned anywhere from $17,130 to $23,410 in 2011. But advancement opportunities are ample for those who do pursue additional education and proper licensing. For example, many landscape architects use their knowledge of groundskeeping to design parks and highways. You'll need at least a bachelor's degree plus a license from the Council of Landscape Architectural Registration Boards, and the BLS predicts this occupation will grow 16 percent by 2020. In 2011, the highest-paid landscape architects earned approximately $99,560.
