Due to the globalization of world economies and expanding, multinational markets, the different types of global career opportunities are practically unlimited. The world-wide discount stock trading industry grew quite rapidly during the first decade of the 21st century. Computer technology is always changing and improving, so companies in this industry will continue be a source of many global career opportunities. As the 21st century progresses, the health care, medical, biotech and pharmaceutical industries are all expecting increases in job opportunities, due to the aging population.
Uncertainty in global stock markets and investor scams have led people to rely on the discount trading and investment industry for assistance. Discount stockbrokers and agents offer no investing advice and do not work on commission. In 2011, some companies in this industry have realized revenue increases and company growth every year since they were started. Some of these investment firms have never closed an office, and some have never experienced layoffs even in the worst economic times.
Due to the increasing number of computers and computer users around the world, companies and organizations involved in the computer technology and computer software industries have created many global career opportunities will be available in coming years. High tech products have revolutionized the music, gaming, and movie industries, just to name a few. The sales of some very successful electronic gadgets like smartphones and mp3 players doubled and even tripled within several years of their introduction. Competition in this global industry is fierce, so high tech companies spend a great deal of money on research and development. Companies that produce business management software for large corporations that handle financial services data, insurance, and healthcare issues are also an important part of this field.
In 2011, some sectors of the global healthcare industry include companies that provide short-term home medical care and employ large numbers of caregivers, like nurses, therapists, and home health aides are expected to continuing growing. Research and design of new medical devices and equipment is also part of a global industry and provides many global career opportunities. One company that produces a heart pump that has just recently been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in patients with advanced cardiovascular disease has seen its revenues reach new heights. This is another area where new technology is continually being developed in the areas of diagnostic equipment, pharmaceuticals, biotech devices, medical tools and medical devices like artificial organs.
