But seriously, I hear nursing and computer science are in huge demand, provided you can shoulder the education needed.[/size]

A better question would be: What do you like? Not to sound cliched and all that other good stuff, but doing something because there is a "chance" that it might be in demand in the future may not be the best way to go. Are you sure you'll necessarily have the base skill-set to pursue it, and even if you do, that you'll be successful at it? If you choose a profession, but aren't very good at what you do, you'll find it difficult to be very successful regardless of how "in demand" it is. Why don't you do something you can excel at and genuinely enjoy? You'll do well, and won't feel worthless at the end of every work day. It may not seem a big thing now, but you devote most of your life to your job; it's a big decision, and choosing something crapty won't make for a great life.

If you want my honest opinion about what "I think" will be in demand, I believe computer science, biotechnology etc (any high-tech field) is going to be in demand; this makes sense to me because I think the world is becoming more entrenched in technology everyday (I make no claim as to the validity of what "I think" however).

In all honesty, good luck :) (feel free to regard or disregard whatever I said at your leisure).

^ Definitely the best reply so far, although I do agree with the person who mentioned Nursing & CompSci as being important.

Ask guidance! Every school i've known of always had a helpful guidance department. You will probably
find your most comprehensive answer there.

I advise you not to worry too much about what university degree will grant you a job in the future because
if you take courses you don't want to take and get in a program that doesn't interest you, you will fall in the
worst trap you can get yourself into. I've known several exlawyers ex nurses and ex engineers who asked the
same question you did and ended up getting the qualifications to work as a lawyer, nurse or engineer and CHOOSING
not to.
