so what is the best career to get money

Hi!

You are going to are going to be working for a long time, probably into your 70's so it is important to like what you do. If you don't like what you do, money is not enough to make you happy. Here is a link a resource that lists the highest paying jobs. https://www.bls.gov/ooh/highest-paying.htm Notice that most of the jobs require advanced education, so start studying.

You can try using the www.mynextmove.com and it basically gives you a break down of what would be a good job for you based off your personality and then you can click of what job interests you and they have different sources such as Bright Outlook or Registered Apprenticeship that I believe show the pay and what is all required for that job. You can also go to the www.bls.gov which also have break down of the pay and requirements to find a job that interests you by going to the tab subjects and finding employment by occupation. Hope this helps.

High salaries imply that the person has high level skills that they acquired from years of strong work in college, which suggests consistently strong work in high school to include writing research papers and taking math courses for the four years of high school, among other topics. Work experience in your chosen field doing internships in college and building a strong reputation in the work world help to bring stable income. How much? Who knows. What is a satisfying income to you? This site may help:

Take the time to read the attached. If you don't want to read it, you have to ask yourself if you want to work strongly towards a well-paid career. It lists the kinds of skills most careers will want from you. This starts with being able to do vast amounts of careful reading: http://www.p21.org/our-work/p21-framework.

So, what kind of student are you? Do you do what it takes to start building these skills right now? Believe me, it doesn't happen magically and without sustained effort. It's hard work that when done regularly becomes less of a struggle to do.

And no matter what kind of student you are now--say, studying only about one hour a week or so--you can choose to be the type of student who studies a few hours 5 or 6 days a week. That's the kind of studying most college students have to do. So if you are in high school now, it would be wise to build this habit.

The harder you work, the smarter you can become. The more you put into being the best student you can be in acquiring skills, the more choices you can have for careers that hopefully you would love to do so that you continue to build the skills that bring in a comfortable income.

So, it would be a good idea to not just focus on the dollar, but on what kind of work would be meaningful to you that uses your favorite skills. Skills you notice you have now, or skills you want to learn in college or job training.

Also, you need to think about how much education you are willing to pursue. When you do the game on the cacareerzone website, you'll see what kind of income you will need to earn to have the lifestyle you want to lead. This will often, not always, require a college degree at the BA or MA level. There are some careers that do not require these degrees, but you'll need to first determine what can hold your interest enough to want to pursue it. Then, regarding the how of preparing for a particular career, be sure to ask for the help of a counselor at your high school or college.

Hi Luke,

I don't know that I would say that there are any "beat career fields". It depends upon what are your areas of interest. You can make money in many different career fields, however you will want to decide what you areas interest you. If you go into a career just for the money but do not enjoy the job, if it is not challenging enough, or you do not like the working conditions, hours and/or the people that you will be working with you will not want to go to work and will not end up making money. I would suggest you do some career exploration with a school counselors and look a variety of career fields and salaries and what the projection for growth is in these fields. Then choose something that you find interesting, something that will make you happy and make you look forward to going to work everyday.

Best of luck.
