WITI-TV, MILWAUKEE - It's no surprise that unemployment is high, and jobs are scarce, but what do you tell students about the future?

Charlotte Hasburgh is an example of a student that the job market demands. She hasn't yet graduated from Alverno College, and she already has a job offer. "It's a huge relief. I'm really glad, I was so excited and I would be okay and could concentrate on my studies."

Hasburgh will work as an actuary, analyzing trends and statistics to set insurance rates.

Alverno's research says right now in high school girls are lagging behind in math, science, engineering and technology where the jobs of the future will be.

The public policy forum in Milwaukee did research too. It too finds that now through the year 2016 science, math, and technology careers will be big especially in the health care industry. Public Policy Forum Rep Anneliese Dickman says, "We're thinking doctors, to respiratory therapists, to medical assistants, so if science, tech, an math interests somebody then getting a secondary career and being a doctor or engineer is definitely a possibility and the jobs will be in demand."

Even those with no interest in higher education will be in demand for a job if they're comfortable with computers, and critical thinking.
