Opportunity
Yes, things are bad. Yes, the job market is tough. Yes, we’ve seen over 1.9 million job losses this year. But change is on the way and with it comes opportunity. Here are a few opportunities that will dominate the financial world in the coming years.
- Energy & Environment
From renewables to oil to utilities to carbon, opportunity is abound. - Healthcare
Despite imminent reform, healthcare will likely remain in the private sector for quite some time simply because the government can’t afford to take it over. That means opportunity to use business and finance to create change - from insurance to hospital management. - Housing Finance
Obviously, change is necessary. We need new ways to give mortgages, and restructure, securitize, and rate them. Perhaps we should look abroad for how. - Infrastructure
Obama wants to make “the single largest new investment in our national infrastructure since the creation of the federal highway system in the 1950s.” To fund such projects, governments are turning to the private sector. That means a need for infrastructure finance jobs to complete such projects as privatization of toll roads and transmission lines. Check out PWC’s view. - Auto Industry
We bailed them out, and now they will need help restructuring. Also wanted: a car czar.
