Biochemistry and molecular biology all contribute to the human genome project that will define our microbial genetic self. Perhaps you wish to specialize in bioinformatics, which is a biological branch of science concerning the storage, acquisition, display, and analysis of nucleic acid and protein sequence datum. All information scientist jobs will absolutely grow in demand in the near future.
Pharmaceutical jobs in some States currently have such a high demand for workers, that there is a marked shortage of those willing to fill in such jobs. You need not be a pharmacist to look for such work, as there is even a shortage of pharmacy technicians, which is phasing out the pharmacy aide.
Synthetic chemistry, which is the development of chemical manufacturing, is a growing field as well, as companies strive to experiment with new chemicals to create new chemistry components. Applied science technology program graduates who are finely trained on laboratory equipment will see a very high demand in that field of science.
Biological technician jobs will increase quickly as an increasing amount of medicinal and agricultural products are being developed through the use of biotechnology techniques and there is high increase in demand for these workers. The demand for green science and defense technicians is anticipated to grow tremendously. These workers will be required to help control waste products; to collect soil, water and air samples to measure pollutant levels; to scrutinize compliance with various environmental regulations; and to decontaminate sites.
Scientist jobs that entail preservation and protection of water, soil, and the ecosystem in general will be in high demand, as well as information scientist jobs having to deal with the ecosystem. Forensic science technicians or crime scene technicians will be in higher demand than before with both State and local governments offering extremely strong job intensification. Forensic science technicians who hold a bachelor’s degree in forensic science will benefit from much better job opportunities than those with only an associate degree. However the field of forensics is actually quite huge, encompassing such jobs as jurisprudence, deontology, physical anthropology, and toxicology to name but a few.
Nuclear technicians are always in need as more technicians will be needed to monitor each State’s aging nuclear reactors. Research in nuclear power futures is sorely needed as well. Energy demand continues to grow at an alarming rate. Too, there are more than ample workers needed in defense-related areas.
The future is extremely bright and enormously encouraging to those with a desire to find science-related jobs regardless of their precise specialty.
