This article on Yahoo Education listed the best jobs that will not be outsourced overseas.  Let’s take a closer look at these:

Education Administrator, Elementary or Secondary School

Younger students will need live teachers, and live teachers require supervision by administrators.  I guess you could also add live teachers to the list.  A 12% growth is projected through 2016, with an average salary of $82K.  I wonder what the projection is for student enrollment?  I can see this one being impacted by cuts in education funding.  A master’s degree is required.

Physical Therapist

With longer life expectancies and an aging population, I can see why this specialty would be in demand for a long time.  With a 27% growth through 2016, and an average salary greater than $71K, this might be a good option if you want to skip medical school and go for the master’s degree.

Sales Manager

There’s always a need for face-time with a client, despite the growth of the web-based economy.  With a $106K salary, the projected growth of 12% over the next 7 years should be achievable.  You can never have enough good sales people, but it always seems that you have too many bad ones.  A bachelor’s or master’s with an emphasis on marketing is desirable.

Computer and Information Systems Manager

While the IT industry has outsourced lower-level jobs, a 16% growth rate is projected for this higher-level, more complex position.  Technology will increase in the coming years, and this warrants the $113K salary.  You’ll need a bachelor’s or an MBA.

Automotive Service Technician or Mechanic

Well, you can’t work on a car in the States if you’re in India, so I guess this job will be around for a while.  This pays less than the others on the list at $36K, but only requires a certificate in automotive technology.  As Americans look to repair rather than replace, a 14% growth is expected.
