Compensation Considerations
Before settling on a particular career, it's important to think about how much
money you are likely to earn in that occupation. You certainly want to select an
occupation in which you'll be able to live the type of lifestyle you desire. It's also
important to keep in mind that many of the highest paying occupations require a
significant amount of formal education.

Make sure that you understand exactly how much you'll spend getting the
training you need to enter these types of occupations so you can make an educated
decision about whether or not doing so is in your best interest.

Work Schedule
When you're identifying career choices, it's important to think about the type of
hours you're likely to work when you go to work in the particular fields that interest
you. In some occupations, you can expect to work standard "banker's hours", but
many jobs require shift work, evening or weekend hours, or almost constant on-call
availability. Some fields are ideal for those who need flexibility, such as freelance
writing and direct sales opportunities. Other occupations, such as teaching and
working as a bank teller, require structured work schedules.

If it's important to you that you be able to be home for dinner with your family
every evening, you won't want to select a field that requires extensive travel or
evening work. Hospitals, for example, must be staffed 24 hours per day. Entry level
hospital employees typically get the least desirable work schedules, as day shifts are
typically made available to tenured employees before new hires.

Benefit Availability
You should also consider the types of benefits you'll be able to get when
identifying career choices. Many universities, for example, offer free or discounted
tuition to employees and their family members. If you want to continue your
education, or make certain that your kids don't have to incur significant student loan
debt, it may be in your best interest to seek employment in a school environment.

Many individuals select state or federal government employment opportunities
primarily to take advantage of the outstanding retirement benefits associated with
these types of occupations. Even though public school teachers typically do not earn
the highest salaries, their retirement benefits are far superior to those offered by
most private employers.

Making Career Decisions
Identifying career choices is not something that anyone should do lightly.
Before you make a final decision about pursuing a particular line of work, be sure to
consider all the relevant factors.
