Best Paying Careers
If profit is one of you main concerns, embark
on a career that pays well. On average, marketing
managers, lawyers, pharmacists, sales managers,
software developers, financial managers, dentists, physicians and IT managers all make over
$100,000 per year. Physicians top the list with an
average $183,170 yearly salary (USnews.com).
If you select one of these options as a career,
make sure you also consider the time investment
involved. Most of these careers require more work
hours per week than other professions. Many
professionals in these areas work 50 or more hours
per week, rather than the 40 hours associated with
other professions.
Most Flexible Careers
IT managers, attorneys and sales managers
have a flexible career as well as a high paying one,
as many of them can define their own hours and
complete some of their work at home. This benefit
comes with performance reviews and experience, though, so don’t expect to be working in
your home office at the beginning of your career.
Management consultants, tax managers, security engineers, technical sales engineers, clinical
research associates, and aerospace engineers are
other well paying jobs that are also likely to have
flexibility, either in their hours, or in their location (Forbes.com). Interpersonal careers, such as
human resource specialists and job recruiters also
boast of flexible hours and locations, but have a
considerably lower pay scale.
If you are a risk taker and entrepreneur, freelancing or starting your own business offers the
highest level of flexibility possible. After all, you
become your own boss. You decide what to do,
when to do it and where to do it. The success of
your undertaking and how much income it brings
in will depend on the nature of the services you
provide, the amount of time you invest in your
company or freelancing, and the market climate.
Most Fulfilling Careers
ference in your community or exploring a field
that brings out your inner identity. Teachers and
principals, clergy, firefighters, physical therapists,
artists, authors, psychologists and construction
machinery operators are among the professionals
that consider their careers to be most fulfilling.
Frequently, professionals in these areas consider
their career to be a calling more than a job.
As you go through the endless list of possible
jobs, think about your priorities and what brings
you most satisfaction – time, money or inward
fulfillment. Sometimes, you can combine all
three. If you genuinely enjoy the field of law, for
example, you might end up with a high salary, flexibility and fulfillment in your career. If not, decide
what is most important and invest yourself there.
Remember – it’s never too late to change. If you
end up not liking the career you choose, you can
always try another later on. u
Choosing the most fulfilling career means
something different for each person. It means
doing what you love. Many fulfilling careers pay
less, but involve helping others and making a dif-
