With jobs scarce, further education beckons
With the economy worsening, more people are choosing to continue their education. Many students see schooling as a wiser option than looking for work. Students in Oregon are choosing classes to prepare them for occupations on the top 20 list. The list, compiled by the state Department of Employment, is dominated by the medical and technical industries. Included are physicians, medical and clinical laboratory technologists, physical therapists, pharmacists and medical and health service managers, as well as registered nurses, welders and cutters.
