Those looking for a job that pays well, has flexible hours and is more secure can consider careers in the health care system, according to a list of the 15 best jobs for young Americans. Forbes.com disclosed that the health care sector is the fastest growing sector in the U.S. economy. Nearly half of the jobs on this best jobs list are in this sector. Dental assistants topped the list with a median annual salary of $33,470, while medical assistants ranked third with a median annual salary of $28,860. Next are physical therapist assistants (whose median annual salary is nearly $50,000) and their health assistants (whose annual salary is $20,560). Among the top five jobs, teaching self-enrichment courses (such as teaching pottery making and teaching art) is the only job that has nothing to do with health care. Fitness trainers and aerobics instructors, pharmacy technicians and surgical technicians also made the list of the top 10 jobs. Because many of these jobs can be worked on a part-time basis, they are great jobs for those who continue to attend school. Some of these jobs also offer employees career prospects and opportunities for advancement. Experts say young people may not yet be sure what kind of work they want to do. They can use these jobs to discover what kind of work they like and what kind of work they would be suitable for.
