Interesting post on Corra Group’s Daily Planet Blog from a Yahoo article:

Musical Chairs in the Job Market…Jobs Disappearing From Different Industries

I found this on Yahoo.com.   This is a list of disappearing jobs.  Careers that will soon or eventually be no more.  Get them while they last, but it’s wise to plan for the future.  As a former journalist, I have seen that industry go through its changes.  Newspaper?  What newspaper?  And with the shrinking number of newspapers, the reduced need for journalists.

Fashion Designers?   They were also listed on Yahoo as an endangered species.  That kind of surprised me, but nevertheless…here we be.  Economics and plant managers may go by the wayside as manufacturing and production declines in this country.  That is in and of itself some pathetic news on a lot of levels.  All the talk of the “new jobs,” the “new technologies,” but let’s face it not everybody is skilled to develop new forms of green energy, or whatever.

Anyway. The Yahoo article is informative.

Happy Holidays from all of us at Brentwood Search.
