  2. Careers with a B.A. or M.A.

  3. Examine buildings, highways and streets, sewer and water systems, dams, bridges, and other structures. • About 45 percent worked for local governments, primarily municipal or county building departments. • Many home inspectors are self-employed.

  4. Job opportunities are expected to be good, especially for those with the right skills. • Most electricians acquire their skills by completing an apprenticeship program lasting 4 to 5 years, or obtain an associates degree. • Nearly ¾ of electricians work for building contractors or are self-employed.

  5. Line installers and repairers work outdoors; conditions can be hazardous. • Employers prefer applicants with knowledge of electricity and electronics. • Earnings are higher than in most other occupations that do not require postsecondary education.

  6. Employment is expected to grow as fast as the average for all occupations. • Use of motorcycles, motorboats, and outdoor power equipment is seasonal in many areas.

  7. Manufacturing industries employ almost all of these workers. • Workers learn in apprenticeship programs, informally on the job, and in secondary, vocational, or postsecondary schools. • Job opportunities should be good, as employers are expected to continue to have difficulty finding qualified workers.

  8. More than 6 out of 10 jobs are found in manufacturing industries. • Employment is projected to grow more slowly than average. • Job prospects should be excellent as employers report difficulty finding enough qualified people.
