US News and World Report has published their “Best Careers Guide,” which lists the 25 Best Careers for 2007, professions that are in demand as the baby boomer generation retires. Selections were made based on a combination of salary, job market outlook, quality of life, attainability, and prestige. Also listed are the 10 most overrated professions, (including some surprises, like teachers, psychologists, and attorneys). Are you curious about how your field will fare this year? Some of the professions that are in the top 25 include: architects, librarians, registered nurses, management consultants, and occupational therapists.

Check out the full report (linked above) for more information and career tips for new graduates. For additional career research tools, visit our eLibrary at http://my.simmons.edu/library/collections/
