If you have a career in a more "unusual" field, you may be in luck in the Raleigh, NC metro area!
I ran into these rankings online, and found it interesting that (in 2006), the Raleigh area had:
-
11.7 times the average metro area jobs for Forensic Science Technicians
Maybe they're employed in the Research Triangle? It's not like the FBI is based here - that's in Virginia!
-
10.7 times the average metro number of vocational education teachers in middle school
Hmm. Are we teaching along a more vocational track in Raleigh? Read here about the "School to Career" program in Wake County.
- 10.3 times the average number of biochemists and biophysicists
Now that's not a surprise! Between GlaxoSmithKline, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, the US Environmental Protection Agency, BioMarck Pharmaceuticals, and more in the Research Triangle Park (RTP) - this are has one of the nation's highest concentrations of doctorates.
- 6.1 times the average number of insurance appraisers and auto damage
Does this mean we have more accidents here? Don't think so. Maybe it's because there are more insurance companies based in Raleigh?
- 5.0 times the average number of environmental engineers
If you've studied environmental science, the Triangle is a great place to be. And there's also a growing Green Building movement, which has even become a focus at local universities.
- 4.2 times the average number of fine artists, including painters, sculptors, and illustrators.
Between the Carolina Ballet, the North Carolina Symphony, North Carolina Theatre, Broadway Series South, the North Carolina Museum of Art, and great ArtWalks sponsored by nearly every town in the Triangle, this doesn't come as that much of a surprise either
-
3.5 times the average number of network systems and data communications analysts
Raleigh and the Triangle has been called the "Silicon Valley of the East". Lots of great companies like SAS Technologies, Red Hat, IBM, and Cisco Systems are located here.
Some of these numbers are surprising, and some not so much. But chances are, no matter what your field, you'll find a company in this area that specializes in what you do!
