"If you're considering switching careers, or are just starting to think about where to start yours, this is the list for you: The US Bureau of Labor Statistics projections of the 30 fastest-growing careers.
The projections, which are updated every two years, show that the total number of people employed in the United States will have increased 10 percent — by 15. 6 million — between 2006 and 2016. However, some jobs will grow at a much faster rate during that period.
The careers on this list range from the always-in-demand, engineers and healthcare aides, to the slightly more quirky — gambling officers, anyone?"
