<\/a>Marketing managers came in first place with net job openings of 22,996. Following closely behind were software and applications developers, needing over 21,000 positions filled.<\/p>\nEric Mayrer, Business Administration major at Sinclair, is confident that he could secure such a job position. He intends to work in Asset Management in the banking industry.<\/p>\n
\u201cI also have chosen this path because I wanted a career that was both dynamic and challenging,\u201d said Mayrer. \u201cI get bored doing the same thing every day. In finance, each day is different because the market is constantly changing and you have to constantly be changing right alongside it in order to stay ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n
Registered nurses came in third place, needing over 19,000 positions filled. Industrial engineers, network and computer system administrators, web developers, medical and health services managers, physical therapists, speech pathologists and sales managers ranked in the top ten.<\/p>\n
Angelia Jackson, Business Entrepreneurship major at Sinclair, owns her own business, Right Touch Cleaning Services, and intends to branch out. Jackson chose to not transfer to a university.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m already satisfied with what I have, I\u2019m not trying to impress anybody else or go after anything, I\u2019m just trying to please myself,\u201d said Jackson. \u201cMy dream is just to be comfortable in what I\u2019m doing and like what I\u2019m doing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brenda Bowles, student at Sinclair, is double-majoring in Biology and Psychology. She has no qualms about finding and keeping employment. She calls herself a \u201cplanner.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnything that doesn\u2019t happen, I have a backup for it,\u201d Bowles said. She explained that she is also building a background in American Sign Language to have a safety net as an interpreter.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was always raised to do what you love because you don\u2019t want to be stuck in a job that you hate going to every day. What I would love more than anything is to work with animals and make the world a better place for my children,\u201d said Bowles.<\/p>\n
According to the Pew Research Center, the unemployment rate for adults ages 18 to 34 decreased by 4.7 percent from 2010 to 2015.<\/p>\n
Josh Smith, Biology major at Sinclair, is not worried about job security for himself. He intends to find a career in the field of Ecology. He explained that he could secure a research position in an academic setting, with a private company, or with a grant for independent research.<\/p>\n
Smith feels he could keep a career position in research due to its changing nature. \u201cThe only reason why people lose their job security is because what they learned has become outdated\u2014but if the job is a research job, then your job is to incorporate that into the new experiments,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Smith\u2019s dream career is to conduct research on his own farm. \u201cThe farm isn\u2019t to have a place to research, and the research isn\u2019t so I can have a farm. They\u2019re just two coexisting dreams,\u201d Smith said.<\/p>\n
Regardless of how Sinclair students choose their major and plan for their career fields, we can all be certain that opportunity does exist. However, Bowles believes the college experience requires some soul-searching.<\/p>\n
\u201cI do recommend college for everybody. For me, college has been something to explore who I am, and I feel like that experience should be given to everybody, no matter what you do in life,\u201d said Bowles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
