Despite this economy, there are still some promising jobs out there.
Graduating from college can be a scary time especially when you're tossing your cap during a turbulent economy, but there is hope.

According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics there are some industries that are booming.

If you're in school, or thinking about going back, it looks like computer science may be your best bet for landing a solid job.

The NACE expects the computer business to jump 53% in the next seven years, and officials at Penn State Altoona say they've seen those classes double or even triple in the last three our four years.
Despite all of these new students, experts say there will still be plenty of jobs to fill.
In fact they say there aren’t enough students to fill the jobs out there right now and they say the starting salaries reflect that.

Another promising job for the future is accounting.
The NACE expects that industry to increase by 18%.
Rob Okonak is a partner in an accounting firm here Altoona and he says they're seeing the boost already.

He says right now people are worried about their finances so it's no wonder they're turning to the experts.
