Get a job ..any job ..get your feet wet and see what is going on around you..some jobs will be lousy and maybe you'll see someone doing what looks good to you..Sam Walton worked then saw ways to improve retail selling...go get-um Sam...

Answer 2

I'm *assuming* you are thinking of for yourself?

Try finding an assessment test - like Meyers-Briggs. They will point you at careers that you have an aptitude for.

If you are just trying to get names of careers, check out the big job boards (HotJobs, Monster, Careerbuilder) and search around.

Or, check out "Working" by Studs Terkel (sp?) He went into some CRAZY fields!!! (It's a book.)

Answer 3

I was at the ophthalmologist's office today, reading a Mar xx, 2007 issue of US News. It had most of the issue dedicated to jobs. See if you can track down the specific issue. It has some good tips for you!

Answer 4

firefighter, emt, doctor, nurse, coach, surgical technologist (courses take about a year and pays well), preschool teacher, camp counselor or director, paramedic, police officer, military service, dentist assistant, disney world, humanitarian work abroad, peace corps, teach english as a second language, editor, journalist, photographer, engineer... you should have hobbies or ambitions, now think of how these can be transferred to meaningful careers.

Answer 5

Have you thought about banking? Get your degree in Finance and work for the bank after graduation. You get most of the federal holidays off and might have to work some Saturday mornings. Usually you'll work with people in their 20's and up. Some banks will work around your class schedule.
