Entry level jobs that won’t be offshored

Entry level jobs can have a direct affect on your future wealth and prosperity. You need to take seriously all those entry level jobs which dovetail into your career plan and ensure the one you choose won’t led you into being a victim of offshoring.
Here are jobs which won’t be offshored any time soon:

Energy: The war in Iraq and general instability in the Middle East are prompting a greater push to find new sources of energy. There will be more demand for the people who search for, mine and develop new sources as well as for people to manage marketing and sales, accounting, human resources and technology, a huge undertaking and the list goes on.
Preventive Healthcare: This is a hot area for growth right now and it will continue for years to come as the baby-boomers age. The demand for workers applies to all levels.
Security: In addition to antiterrorism needs, there is growing concern among companies to protect their greatest asset; information. Additionally, employers are increasingly concerned about the backgrounds of people they are hiring, which will give rise to investigative services.
Military: Need I say more? The demand will increase as will the educational requirements for people looking for the plum jobs in communications and intelligence.
Government: At every level – municipal, state and federal – demands will only get bigger. Leadership will be in high demand as will bilingualism in many jurisdictions.
Insurance: The more uncertainty there is in a society, the greater the demand for insurance. Providers will continue to need sales agents, claim adjusters, researchers, customer service people, accountants, lawyers etc.
Consumer Financial Services: As more people own homes, cars, etc, demand is increasing for loan agents and title company workers. With losses growing in company-sponsored 401k plans, more people are taking greater control over their retirement savings and seeking investment counselors and brokers to manage their money.
Agriculture: Farms employ hundreds of thousands of people in almost every capacity imaginable, from marketing and public relations professionals to genetic scientists. The US Department of Agriculture estimates nearly 58,000 job openings each year through 2005.
Biotechnology/Pharmaceutical: Greater need for prescription drugs will increase demand in these sectors. Additionally, as more and more money is dedicated to gene and cloning research, opportunities will grow in the biotech industry.
The prospects in your area of the country will vary of course, but the above information is a good snapshot of what will be happening around the country.
