Shortage in years to come?

WhiteWalls

Sine 2008 I am sure there have been a lot of people who have not qualified themselves in a particular profession due to lack of job prospects when qualified. Is there a chance that there will be a shortage of people in a particular profession in years to come?

What profession you on about.

Probably architecture. That went down hill as far as I know. The plan to bring in new buildings will require design work and a need for architects.

That's the only degree based job I can think of, the rest would be apprenticeships like electricians, plumbers and carpenters

I can't be sure, but you could check out the CSO as they may provide statistics on future short falls in a particular profession.

Well companies aren't even willing to train people these days i can imagine this will lead to big shortages of employable people.

Well we have had a shortage of people being able to speak useful foreign languages(German as Germany is a massive, important economy, but we all still do useless French) for about the last 10 years and there still hasn't been a massive up take of German in second or third level. We also have a massive shortage of people with IT skills and the number of people studying it in third level isnt enough for the level of jobs being created in it.


We could also have a shortage in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries in the future. As Ireland still continues to be a massive producer of chemicals and pharmaceuticals. It will continue to grow as US companies make drugs here, as they pay less tax on it.

There will always be shortages in some industries temporarily as the number of jobs available is greater than the number of applicants. Eventually over time this cancels out

Wouldn't say French is useless. It would help you in Canada. Also regarded as one of the easiest languages to learn so that's why it's promoted in schools curriculum

How useful is it though? In the sales jobs I know companies usually only hire native speakers to sell to a particular country.

There are other professional jobs apart from Architecture affected by the collapse that require degrees such as Civil and Structural Engineers, Quantity Surveyors and Estimators, Project Managers.

Why do we need new buildings? Did all those office buildings that never had tenants fall down over the last 7 years?

Well not necessarily new buildings from scratch but some cosmetic work definitely. For example DIT is in the process of moving all their students to Grangegorman in the next year or so. That means the Aungier Street, Kevin Street, Cathal Brugha street and Bolton street buildings will be converted to apartments or office buildings. You will also have excess space to build car parks on the locations perhaps

Mr. Loverman

You should choose a profession you would enjoy doing.

You only get one life.

But to answer your question: IT is continuing to grow, and IT courses are dumbing down. Really understanding computer science topics will be an advantage.

Data analytics, maths, sales, social care, IT, technologists. As stated above German is in short supply. Ironically in the short to mid term there is predicted to be an acute shortage in construction personnel.

Likely Early Childhood Education: countries all over the world are forcing people to upgrade from being childcare workers to registered teachers. And not all the experienced people want to do the training.
