Here are the fastest growing jobs according to the The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the U.S. Department of Labor. The BLS has compiled lists of occupations that they project will have the highest level of growth through 20164. These occupations have diverse educational requirements. Some require that one has a bachelor's degree in order to enter that particular field, while others require a master's degree or a doctoral degree. Others require on-the-job training only.

Potential growth is one thing you should consider when choosing an occupation. It is not the only thing however. While it is important that the career you plan to enter has a promising future, it is also important to choose something you will enjoy doing. Doing a thorough self assessment will help you make a better career choice.
