You should choose the career that best fits your talent, interests and passion. If you love what you do and are good at it, you will be very successful. So, start with thinking about what you like to do most. When does time fly by almost without you noticing. When do you feel the greatest sense of accomplishment. Try to find a career where you can do all of those things and get paid for that.

The most practical career path would depend on what your short-term and long-term goals are. Example
Short-Term: I just moved to a new state, and need to earn quick income that would allow me to find the right permanent job.
Long-Term: I am already in the place I want to live, and am considering whether to start a new career vs. remaining in the same one.
Here are some ways to point you in a rewarding direction:
1 - What are your strong points?
Analytical - perhaps accounting
Sympathetic - maybe nursing
Outgoing - maybe sales,
Inward & shy - data analyst, computer programmer,
Organized - Aministrative Assistant,
Love Adventure - maybe Firefighter or Rescue.
2 - What types of jobs would enable you to use your strong skills?
3 - Consider the pay.
Will the pay rate allow you to keep on top of your cost of living?
4 - Work hours -
I used to work in a rewarding job, BUT circumstances around me constantly negative (nature of the job), AND I had to work rotating shifts - uggh!
If you are a family person, then taking a job with rotating shifts may not be a good idea.
5 - Location of the job
How long does it take to travel to your potential job? Some people hate long commutes.
6 - Where do you want you be in the long-term, and How does that job help get you there?
7 - How will that potential job enable you to contribute in a positive way?
8 - Would that job require you to travel or relocate?
Once you have carefully considered the above, then the answer will come to you. You can try visiting http://www.monster.com to view various job requirements to start.

Accounting, nursing, teaching.
With any of the three, you can work almost anywhere you want. This is important if, for example, you have a spouse that works in a very specialized field and is geographically restricted. The pay is decent. Although teaching is not known for great pay, the benefits are really good and you get lots of vacation time. For any of the 3, You only need a 4 year degree. This is practical because you don't have to spend a decade or more in college or rack up a mint in student loans. Finally, demand for labor is relatively insensitive to economic fluctuations. Even if you do get laid off from one job, you can land another job with relative ease.

One where you will make enough money to pay your bills on time, with a little left over for extras. Also one in which the schedule allows time for your family and loved ones.
