This week on Money Matters, a lot of people have lost their jobs during the recession but now that things are starting to turn around, employers will soon be putting out the help wanted sign again.

Where will those new jobs be?

"U.S. News and World Report" did a study of what jobs offer the best outlook during these times.

The aging baby boomer population will place major demands on the healthcare system. There will be a need for physical therapists, registered nurses and physician assistants.

Physician assistants need two or three years of post graduate education and can do about 80% of what a doctor does. Their salaries can reach six-figures.

Pharmacists are increasingly in demand as medical advisers.

Audiologist is another profession that will be needed more and more.

Believe it or not, hair stylists rank among the most satisfied with their jobs.

Firefighter is among the most prestigious careers according to a Harris Poll. They rate right behind scientists and physicians.

Being a veterinarian offers plenty of opportunities to work anywhere in the country for good money.

No matter what your career choice is, research it carefully. Make sure it is something you would enjoy doing. Otherwise, the money won't matter.
