- im considering financial management. im majoring in accounting with a minor in management. i want to help people who dont know how ot manage their money and help keep their dept under control. psychology is a good major to though. im taking psychology this semester and i have really learned alot.
- Well, in my opinion, the top two careers that help people are 1. Doctors and 2. Teachers. So pyschology would be a great major if you want to help people! Other important careers would include goverment related jobs (police, firefighters, social workers, etc.) and bankers/financial advisors.
- Many careers help to some extent. Here are some careers that I would recommend Teaching- Definitely a job for those that want to shape the future leaders. Not a ton of pay but stable, summers off and good pensions Nursing- Very high demand field, good money, get to help people on a daily basis Police/Fire/Military- They put their lives on the line every day to make the world safer and ensure quality of life. Whatever your politics or idealogy, I think it is safe to say that people do not choose these professions for the money, but for the effect they feel they cna have on society. Social work- Low pay, but you get to help and protect those that are less fortunate Veterinarian- Sure, you are mostly helping animals, but I think that it takes a certain altruistic person to go into this field. This field is not super lucrative despite requiring most of the training of a "regular" Dr. Vets get to help people's pets that bring joy to their lives or help injured animals
- Financial planner. Unfortunately, people don't realize that they need financial counsel as badly as they need a family physician; in many cases more so. The planner's job description is basically the same as a doctor's or attorney's, just practicing a different discipline. They are no more salesmen than are surgeons who "sell" operations or attorneys who "sell" wills, estate plans, or legal representation.
