Most jobs that will see growth don’t re­quire a bach­el­or’s de­gree. 15 Jobs with the Most Growth in the Next Decade.

The National Journal reports:
The Bur­eau of Labor Stat­ist­ics re­leased this week its eco­nom­ic pre­dic­tions for the next dec­ade, in­clud­ing which oc­cu­pa­tions will see the most growth. And while the U.S. is sup­posed to add 10 mil­lion jobs by 2024, the types of jobs with the highest growth are con­cern­ing.
There's more:
Sur­pris­ingly, most jobs that will see growth don’t re­quire a bach­el­or’s de­gree. And that’s where the con­cern be­gins.

The prob­lem is that the jobs pre­dic­ated to grow the most by 2024 don’t pay much. In fact, 11 out of 15 of those oc­cu­pa­tion cur­rently pay un­der $32,000 a year (and many of those 11 pay $25,000 or un­der).
"Surprisingly", as the establishment encourages more people to go to college.
