 JOB OUTLOOK: Excellent! According to a recent posting on career statistics sites such as collegegrad.com predictions of positions for appraisers and real estate assessors is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations through the 2014 period. A lot of incorrect rumors are causing less people to consider appraising as a career path. That's good news for those who are serious. Georgia has an excellent economic base and is a strong and stable real estate market with growth continuing. Most Appraisers already work for themselves and know that they are and will continue to be in demand as this growth continues.
