Overview
Economists predict by the year 2000 America's largest growing career pathway will be human development, management, and service careers. More and more services will be demanded by citizens. Services will be in demand for many areas to provide for human needs. Citizens will want more teacher, pre-school, nursery, and child care programs. People will be more involved in leisure programs, such as sports, summer recreation, church and scouting.
The pathway of human development, management and service careers must train personnel to manage and operate these cluster services. How exciting it is to help people help themselves. Social agencies, educational facilities and religious institutes are much in need of trained counselors, case workers, sociologists, psychologists and volunteers.
The need for global services is also increasing. Organizations such as the Red Cross, UNESCO, Peace Corp, March of Dimes and United Way continue to need an educated workforce. Environmental issues such as pollution, acid rain and endangered species will require the help of trained individuals to continue.
