... I want a job where I can constantly be outside, I want to be able to hike a lot. I've got a while to decide, but I am thinking about it now, so when I get to the point I need to know what I want for a career, I know. So what are some careers that I'd enjoy?????

A park ranger. You can help people to enjoy and appreciate  nature, be a leader of hikes all around the park, and get to spend time in the great outdoors.

Ask yourself: What am I looking for? What do I want to do? What will make me happy? What has made me happy in the past? What do I enjoy? I don't believe we are here for any particular purpose, other then to live and help others and to enjoy life, fill your lungs with fresh clean air and get out into the sunlight, and see, I mean really see, the (good) things life has to offer you! Look at a tree, see what it has to offer the world, watch ripples move on a pond, see the love ducks have for each other as they group together in the water, look at the sky, see the beautiful colors of the sunset, fall face down in the grass and see, smell and feel the grass, look at an ant colony, feel the different texture of colored leaves, taste a raindrop! This is what life has to offer, pretend you only have 3 days left to live and try to savor all there is to savor, this is your world dammit, and you don't want to leave it!!!!!!

I have a little sign in my garden - it says:  A thing of beauty if a job forever.\n\nMaybe you can catch inspiration from that?

stay at your job until you find another......remember the grass isn't greenier on the other side.  No job is perfect.  Just be thankful you have a job.

Well, what is "calling" you to a job in construction?  Is it something you've always wanted to do?  Do you crave a job that allows you to be outside and more physically active?  \n\nThe answer that you spend so much of your time far from home and want a job that will keep you in the area where your family/friends are is a great reason for changing careers.  Just make sure that the answer you give makes it sound that you aren't just jumping from something (chemical engineering) but that you are jumping TO something (construction).  They should be able to believe that this new career truly appeals to you, you've thought about it, and that this is a profession you want to stick with for a period of time.

I wanted to be many different things as I was growing up, including actress and attorney.  However, at the time of my youth, women were encouraged to only be sales person, secretaries, hairdressers, a wife/mother, or elementary teachers.  I then wanted to be a hairdresser, but at the time, the schools only accepted students who had taken chemistry in high school, and that let me out . . . so I became a secretary and a wife/mother and I am still a secretary and wife/mother.  I am still not there because even though I am an adult, I am still not "grown up".  I still have dreams and hopes and want to be something else . . . this time an owner/manager of my own little company.  Will I succeed?  Only time will tell.  My job as a wife/mother has been very rewarding even though the pay is lousy.  My jobs throughout the year in offices have been very interesting, and I have learned many skills.  I don't want to ever "grow up" so I guess I will never be what I want to be when I grow up.

*hug* i think you need a hug. i think it's great you have a college degree and i sure wouldn't be giving you a hard time for having a part-time job. the fact that you choose to work instead of sit on your butt all day is good enough for me! :) hang in there...this world is full of sin...hence the mean people. just know who you are and smile! :) feel free to IM or email me anytime.

You take your favorite hobby, something your really good at, and something that pays the most money and find your happy medium. No career test is going to determine what you really want out of life. The best advice I can give you is don't pick a career just because it pays well or you will be very dissappointed.

I like to walk (when I can). I love being outside. My answer to this would have been ride my motorcycle but now, responsibilities take precedent over that feeling of freedom and the danger that goes along with it. I hate growing up. :( ....Don't wanna

Ask yourself this question: If I were seeking professional help from someone, would I want a person that was qualified, or one that just coasted by? Wouldn't you want the one qualified and worked hard to learn what they should to be the best in their field?

wow. all those professions are suitable for anyone. but it's weird how they are all so different. and it's great how your interested in all of them eventhough they are all so different from each other. i suggest you really sit down and ask yourself...WHAT WOULD I ENJOY THE MOST. WHAT WOULD BRING THE GREATEST SENSE OF SATISFACTION? and focus on that one. because if you love your job, then you'll continue to be good at it.\n\ngood luck and don't lose focus on your future.

Dear Patrick\nNow that the job market is finally looking up, it's the perfect time to seek out new opportunities. This spring you need to shake off that "lucky I even have a job" mentality, polish up your resume, and explore your career options! There are fun, flexible, fantastic jobs out there just waiting for someone like you!\nNow, get out there and pound the pavement. Beat on some doors until you latch onto that incredible dream job you always wanted! \n(I heard the Dearborn area is a great place to promote tourism?)\n-Kenny

I think that if it's something that you are interested in doing then go for it. It sounds like it would be a pretty good job especially if it's something you like. Good luck with your future.

I'm assuming that you are just heading into college?....It seems like the best thing to think about when deciding on a career path is just think about the things that intrigue you and you are truly curious about.  Then branch out from there.  I have found it so valuable to get out there are work in your field to get a feel for things.  Even if you are at the lowest wrung on the ladder you can get a sense for if those environments will make you happy.  What I realized is those jobs that I thought were going to be sooooo great and rewarding were not at all after working there for a little while.

I wish!  I can barely find time to breathe, and when free time comes there are so many things I'd like to do I can' t choose one.  If you're bored, make a list of things you'd like to do "someday" or things that you've said, "Oh, I wish I could do that" and go do it!  There's a great book out there about living your dreams and how to make them a reality. It's called "Wishcrafting". I highly recommend it.

I don't think you are supposed to remain in one career only.  It's human to be curious and seek out new challenges.  You should rise to the challenges your career path brings to you.  Too many people work at jobs they hate, day in, day out, without any personal satisfaction.

I'd love to be a bench-warmer on a pro team. I get to sit on my a$$ and make millions...and nobody will ever know my name or who I am or what position I play.\n\nMaybe I should change my goal of being an under-paid public school teacher to professional over-paid athlete. "What do you think?"
