US News and World Report Article

Athletic Training was ranked as one of the top 50 careers for 2011.  The projections for the 8 years has athletic training job creation outpacing nearly every other healthcare field at a staggering 34%.  Most of those jobs are expected at the high school level.

From what I have seen transpire over the last few months in the media, I find this very easy to believe.  However, budgets still need to improve at schools in order to see this kind of growth, even with the amount of attention that is being placed on this shortage.  I do hope that this will happen at least as well as is forecasted.  The shortage may even push salaries higher for all of us and help attract more young people to the profession.
