Previously we looked at the first five (entirely subjective) entries of what are the ten hottest careers. Here are the remaining five from my personal list.
6. Nature photographer
Okay, so you go to places like the Grand Canyon, Nairobi, India, and some of the most beautiful places on earth. While there, you take pictures. Your trips are paid for, and your pictures are published in widely read magazines. You get rich doing it. Yeah, that would work.
7. Copywriter
That’s the jargon term for someone who writes ads and marketing material. A chance to be highly creative and have fun. If you’re in the right company, you can make a very satisfying career.
8. Relief worker
Here you won’t get rich. But you will get to bless the lives of perhaps thousands of people, and you will likely be in a new and interesting culture. Not for everyone, but fulfilling? Definitely could be, but it’s one of those things you’ve really got to want to do. If it is, you’ll probably enjoy your work more than most.
9. Law enforcement
When I was at university, I was amazed at how huge the law enforcement enrollment had become. But it makes sense, as this field encompasses so many opportunities. Sure, you can be a cop, but there’s also FBI, CIA, ATF, TSA, and a host of other government acronyms to provide a secure, stable career.
Additionally, there’s no question that the aspect of service is a significant factor in one’s choice to pursue law enforcement. Helping make your community, state, or country safe is rewarding in itself. Kudos to all who have so chosen to serve.
10. United States military
This list would not be complete without mentioning the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and National Guard. The brave men and women who put themselves in harm’s way to protect us at home and abroad deserve our respect and gratitude.
As for making this one’s career—or simply a part of it—it’s a good move. The tangible benefits include everything normally associated with government work, with the added bonus of paid education and assistance with housing and healthcare. The intangibles include the satisfaction of knowing you’re helping defend freedom; as perks go, that one’s pretty hard to beat.
So, there’s my list; I hope that someone may find it helpful.
