Public Comments
- choose something' that you are passionate about.
- nursing is one of the fields with the highest demand. lots of options for anyone in that field. Also the midwest, primarily Minnesota, has the highest average salary for RN's. Averaging upwards of $50,000.
- Social worker is a very demanding job, low pay & long hours though it is also very rewarding. And public service jobs are usually demanding w/ low pay so that includes child & youth worker. Police have to go through hell at the academy, it's where grown men cry from the pain they are put through. If you become a chef, you are at risk for becoming overweight b/c you work w/ food all day. A hair stylist may be fun, but depending on where you work, the pay isn't so great. And you would have to know your chemistry. I think your best bet with your options might be to become a law clerk...though of course, keep your options open. Many people change their majors & career paths in college...so you might head in thinking one think and come out with a totally different career path. Good luck =]
