Wales, as a country, is one of the UK’s most impressive regions. It’s a vibrant place to be, and there are some fantastic employment opportunities to take advantage of if you live there. As industries evolve, it makes sense to move into a career path that will be in demand over the next several years, as it will undoubtedly lead to better opportunities and further success.
Lecturer
The role of a lecturer is well-paying and in-demand. From being one of the best jobs in Leicester, a city, to being even more of a big deal in a country such as Wales, it’s a career to move into if you have an eye on the future. In Wales, on average, a lecturer will receive an annual salary exceeding £90,000, and it will likely continue to increase as time progresses. Not only will the yearly salary climb as time goes on, but the demand for lecturers will too, as more and more people try to create a better future for themselves by going to university.
Doctor
Doctors are always in demand, but more so than ever after recent events. On average, a doctor can pick up a yearly wage of around £60,000. But, as demand increases, a doctor’s salary will increase quickly over the next several years. As a doctor, an individual is providing a much needed and valued service to communities and those in need, making it a rewarding position. While the demand for doctors dropped in Wales recently, this will change moving forwards, and more people will likely head off to medical school to study so they can take up these roles.
Architect
Being an architect means that you will always be in demand, regardless of where you’re based. However, if you happen to live in Wales, you’re in luck, as the profession is one which continues to progress where demand is concerned as time goes on. The increase in the need for architects is steady, but there are always vacancies for those qualified to take advantage of when the time is right. Architects, as everyone knows, are well paid as well, earning on average £70,000 per year. There was an increase of 3% for vacancies in the sector in 2019, and this year it will likely be higher.
Construction Manager
Construction is an integral industry all around the globe. In each country and city, there is always construction taking place in some way, shape or form. And it continues regardless of what’s going on in society at the time. Therefore, it’s a safe bet for a sector which will be in demand in Wales over the next several years, and if an individual happens to hold a senior position such as construction manager, even better. Yes, as a construction manager, there is a lot of responsibility and pressure to contend with, but the annual salary of close to £50,000 will make it all worthwhile.
