Georgia Career Planner2

Equal Opportunity Employer/ProgramAuxiliary Aids and Services Available Upon Request to Individuals With Disabilities




This third edition of the Georgia Career Planner continues our tradition of presenting the latest,

most reliable career exploratory information to students, jobseekers, and counselors in an easy-to-understand format. Of the nearly 800 occupations analyzed, the Planner includes the 250that are expected to have at least 100 job openings per year over the next decade from bothgrowth and replacements. These job openings represent almost 90 percent of all expected openingsin Georgia.

Each of the high demand occupations presented in this Planner is a “good” job, for job openings

and job growth rates are very useful measures of job quality. When combined with above-average wages, the occupations that have it all—above average job growth, above average wages, and at least 100 expected job openings—make up Georgia’s Hot Careers to 2012.

This coveted group of occupations offers the surest bets of satisfying, rewarding careers withgreat potential for mobility and advancement. In this publication, each hot career is designated with the HOT label, which means that it meets the following criteria:

• Annual job growth greater than the statewide average of 1.7%

• Average wages greater than the statewide average of $17.56 per hour or $36,500 annually

• At least 100 expected annual job openings

Using the Planner

Step two

The next step is to use the occupation table inthis Planner to learn about occupations thatinterest you.

• Check to see if the skills and abilitiesrequired match the ones you already have.

• Examine the work characteristics to see what criteria are prevalent in the jobs thatinterest you.

• Consider the wages and the expectednumber of annual job openings.

Step one

The first step in planning a career is to assessyour strengths and weaknesses.

• Research the occupations you find inter-esting, focusing on those that would allowuse of your strongest skills.

• Consider how much postsecondaryeducation you will need for a particularcareer.

• Assess your goals for salary and profes-sional job growth.

Step three

After finding the occupations that interest you,turn to the worksheet at the back of thisbooklet or to the worksheet that was given toyou at the beginning of class.

• For each occupation you chose, enter the job title, personal skills and abilitiessymbols, work characteristics symbols,average wage, number of annual jobopenings, and the education and trainingcode.

• You can add other occupations to your worksheet if you like, such as those withless than 100 yearly openings (not in-

cluded in the Planner).

This Planner is designed to help you in the career decision-making process. It includes an occupation table (in alphabetical order within each job category) showing various job characteristics for each occupation and a Career Exploration Worksheet. Use theoccupation table to compare your personal preferences with job characteristics in various occupations. The information gained fromthis exercise will help you identify which occupations you are best suited for. On the worksheet, you can transfer information from theoccupation table for the jobs that look interesting. Here are the steps:




Bachelor’s or higher degree

1. First professional degree

At least three years of full-time academic

study beyond the bachelor’s degree.

2. Doctoral degree

weeks to a year or more in a postsecondary vocational school or college.

The Planner splits the occupations into the eleven education and training categories used by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureauof Labor Statistics (BLS) to classify jobs. Because there are a variety of ways to enter a field, occupations are classified by the mostsignificant single source of postsecondary education or training that workers need to be considered qualified. These categories repre-sent the minimum education and training requirement for entering and progressing in an occupation.

Occupations requiring college degrees are classified according to the level of degree workers need. For those requiring on-the-jobtraining, jobs are classified according to the length of time workers must undergo training to become proficient. This training may be inaddition to other employer requirements related to education or specific duties.

The eleven education and training categories, their numerical codes, and their definitions are as follows:




All other (no formal postsecondary education required)
