Hottest Job in the US?
That's a tall order.
Late last year, Bloomberg published an article, Hottest Job in US pays $80,000, No College Degree Needed. Wow, that grabs your attention, right? According to the piece, "Employment of wind-turbine service technicians will increase almost 45% over the next decade, the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts—faster than in any other occupation, bolstered by the federal government’s renewable energy push."
If you or your student has a passion for green energy and sustainability, this could be the dream career!
