People choosing a career have a lot of information available, but almost all of it presents only today’s situation. What will happen with specific work opportunities, though, over the next
two decades, after which most of today’s new college graduates will not have even reached middle age? Choosing a Lasting Career answers that question. It starts by showing that while
the jobs crisis is permanent and will not end with better times, careers will not be affected uniformly. The book then presents a broad set of factors likely to affect how work opportunities
will fare over the next two decades. It provides a catalog of 506 different jobs, each rated in 11 different future-leaning categories. It is valuable not only for those seeking opportunities
after graduation, but for others who want to invest their time and money in a long-term position that will not be swept away by automation, globalization, efficiency, or other factors we
cannot ignore.
