There is surely demand for that field. Ur live will be financially well secured if you have a good strong foundation and knowledge in it.

Keep this in mind.  Most of the bill collectors I know of work out of office buildings with very tight security.   The biggest one in this city works in a brick building, no signs or identifications to show they are a collection agency, and security that would impress Fort Knox.  \n\nYes, they are wimps.

If you like sitting behind a desk, dealing with numbers and codes and the typical tedious-ness that comes with office work. \n\nI hear that career choice is in high demand but you should also look at thepotential for growth....

I usually pity people that find work with collection agencies.  I had a boob from a collection agency telling  me that she was a lawyer, she was lying.  \n\nTry and pay the company that you got into debt with something...$5 a month say?  Do not pay the collection agency anything.  Nothing.

i just recently changed careers and i had a degree in the career i left it is a difficult change and it takes a lot of research the main thing is money.  it is difficult to find a job to pay what you need.  i saved a lot of money (at least 3 months of pay) then found what i wanted to do and switched to it but make it gradual and i would try to go to school part time so you can get back to the level you were at except in a different career.

Bad idea. That is what I have and never helped me with getting jobs. Better to specialize somewhat but still keep is somewhat broad like a BA or BS in Business, economics, etc.. Employers seem to like that better I have found.

I thoroughly loved my work when I was working - retired now and thoroughly enjoying that too.  However, I think it is important to keep life in perspective.  \n\n"Work is what you do so that someone will give you money so that you can do the things you really want and need to do.  It is a real plus if your work is something you really enjoy and it makes you feel satisfied and productive."

It is a fun job but the job market is very small. There are few opportunities other than with museums, parks, zoos and universities. Field zoologists spend their time observing animals in the wild, doing population counts and often lecturing in attempts to get grants to continue their studies.I have spent 30 years being bitten, scratched, clawed, mauled, in mud, swamps, mountains, rain storms and even typhoons. I have been pierced, stabbed, struck and cut by plants with thorns, needles, spikes, and barbs and while I'll never be rich, I am happy. Nothing can matching seeing pandas in their home or watching elephants move like ghosts through the jungles. For salary, if you work for a well-heeled group, you might make a little more than a teacher, so if you are doing it for money, find a different career. To support my love of zoology, I am also a physician and pay most of my own expenses but for three months each year, I get to have fun.

yes ,\n         I am interested in it.Because u cannot expect a crown on u r head as soon as u come out of u r college.U may join as a freelancer and gain some knowledge,experience and then self employee u r self or get recruitment n some good company, and become permanent.They are really a boon to us.

Well, it all depends on how much you really like the profession. If it is something that would satisfy you personally that you are really passionate about I say do it if not then look for another career path.

I read somewhere that people on average have 3 seperate carreers in their lives, each carreer spanning different time periods. I thought that was surprising, too bad I don't have the source available. It sounds like starting a new career might be a good idea for most people.

Rule of thumb:  what do you enjoy doing the most?  Build from there.  Get your basics out of the way your first year, then build.  Remember:  when you study something you like and plan it to be your financial supplier, that is called a CAREER.  when you force yourself to go into something as your financial supplier you don't really enjoy that is called a JOB.  I prefer a career to a job.

Yes, it is quite OK.  You are going to have many jobs throughout your life time, until you find your career.  Sometimes you need experience with other jobs to learn your desires and gain some skills.

I see myself being very successful and advancing through the company ranks.  I would also include something about family goals (like in my case, getting married, having kids, buying a house).  Including personal goals shows balance (not all jobs want balance, some want only you and nothing else, know which one the company is.)
