Ten Hottest Careers - Everybody's Talking About....
Everyone has that dream job, the one they've been secretly
coveting since they were young. Of course, few can grow up to be
cowboys, astronauts or princesses, and even fewer can become
super models. But, we still dream. They just don't pay the rent,
unless you're a psychologist....
The truth is: everyone has a different definition of a that
perfect job. It's impossible to categorize. But, there is a way
to prove the most researched careers. Not as exciting, I know,
but a bit more relevant. By removing the childhood glamour
sheen, you can get down to the possible dream job, and that's
worth looking into.
So let's take a look at the ten hottest careers everyone is
searching online:
1. Education: At the top of our list is the not so surprising
choice of education. For some, this seems like the greatest
position in the world--summers off, multiple vacations during
the year, ultimate power over the spawn of your childhood
enemies. Perfect, right? Maybe not. Few tend to think past the
giddy pleasure of failing someone. This occupation requires a
bit more than that: a bachelor's degree, education coursework,
licensing exams, criminal background check and more. Also, the
pay is not so, ahem, glamorous. This is a career for those
seeking fulfillment (or those who hold a vendetta against
certain bullies and wish to repay the favor, but don't put that
on your exam).
2. Dog training: Who can resist a puppy? Well, it's actually not
that hard when they're not house trained. The odor will overcome
that "cute, wittle face". So, in steps a dog trainer. This
individual will teach your dog the basics (sit, stay, don't eat
that) and the not so basics (how to interact with other
animals). Many go into this profession due to a love of dogs;
however, it must be noted that this is not an easy job--these
animals are not going to simply roll over because you say so. It
takes patience, dedication and a lot of treats.
3. Medical: Ah, the lure of the emergency room. Blood squirting,
needles inserting, the threat of impending death. It's easy to
see why so many people want to become doctors. Of course, the
money doesn't hurt either. That shouldn't shouldn't be your
deciding factor, however. This work requires a tolerance to
other's pain and a willingness to be on call every hour of every
day. There's a reason for the expression, "Never marry a
doctor". Your work will be your life; make sure you want to
serve people, not just bill them.
4. Veterinarian: We love animals; that's obvious by the fact
that two of the top ten jobs have to do with them. A
Veterinarian, to put it simply, an animal doctor and can perform
everything from hip replacements to organ transplants to
removing a nail lodged in a paw. This is an incredibly rewarding
job for animal-lovers. Two conditions: you will actually attend
more school for this position than you would if you were working
on humans and admission to a top school is competitive. Also,
many animal-lovers find they cannot handle this profession.
While they love saving pets, they cannot stand to bring them
down. The overly sympathetic should reconsider; this is not easy
work.
5. Medical coding: Another not so surprising entrant to the top
ten is medical coding. Through this profession, you will insure
that health care professionals are reimbursed for their
services. The disadvantage to this field: jobs are becoming
extremely competitive as more and more discover it. Positions
may be limited.
6. Nursing: The medical profession is booming (which is a sad
commentary of our state of health). Nursing is an ever popular
job for those who wish to ease pain. Salaries vary, the highest
paying positions usually being those in personal supply
services. Florence Nightingale never had it this good.
7. Aviation: We've been trying to get ourselves in the air for
many, many years. Now that we can, we won't stop. Aviation is
one of the rare occasions when the dreams you had a child can
come true--whether you're manning a military aircraft or giving
balloon rides to tourists, it's all the same sky. This is a
career with longevity and a wide range of possibilities,
assuming you don't crash.
8. Medical billing: Not to be confused with medical coding, this
is the process of submitting and following up on claims to
insurance companies. Perhaps not the most riveting of
description but maybe this will catch your attention: this job
is poised to jump in popularity. The medical profession is
growing, and it's taking this job with it.
9. Psychology: Unless you take after Lucy from 'Peanuts', few
want to listen to people talk about themselves for hours as
children. But, as you get older, you begin to see the
benefit--money. Oh, and helping people move beyond their
problems. Though it takes a lengthy amount of schooling, this is
another profession looking to break ahead. For people who wish
to discover the root of complications in someone's mind, this is
a rewarding career.
10. Marketing: In its broadest description, marketing is selling
things. Creative, driven individuals will succeed well here.
Remember that lemonade stand you had that failed because the kid
across the street sold his product cheaper? He was a natural
marketer.
