BANGALORE: Although the nation's employment rate is slowly improving, certain occupations are suffering—and are expected to suffer for the remainder of the decade and beyond. In fact some of the job fields that are projected here are set to lose large numbers of positions at a rapid rate through 2020. Pay prospects for these professions are also below average. If you’re eager to take a note, here is a list of ten struggling professions that you might want to think twice about entering, as listed by Stacy Rapacon of Kiplinger.
Floral Designer
10-year growth projection: –8.0 percent (All occupations: +10.8 percent)
Typical education: High school diploma or equivalent
Stress score: 50.7 (All occupations: 53.1)
If you are a lover of flowers, this career path may not give you the desired result as future job prospects are wilting for floral designers. The reason why this job field suffers is budget and conscious consumers are opting to buy fresh-cut flowers from grocery stores instead of elaborate arrangements from florists. Not only that, the work is hectic as you come across strong and potentially conflicting personalities all around you. Schedules are tight, both because flowers are perishable, and because the events and holidays that they are intended for are time-sensitive. To make matters worse, the pay is not all that great.
