Hello everyone,
After finally having the opportunity to have a job for the first time, I can now understand what really drives me and the type of career I would like to have for the next 20 years or so.
I definitely know I do not want to sit in an office in front of a computer. I would like to get ideas from you as far as jobs that keep you out of the office most of the time and which do not require another BA degree. I will start a list here:
1. Medical Interpreter
Pros: Flexible schedule, minimal education required is a high school diploma and a forty hour certificate. Job keeps you on your feet most of the time.
Cons: Full-time position jobs at hospitals are very competitive to get. Most interpreters I have met work for agencies as independent contractors and get paid 16-20 dollars per hour, with no benefits. Average hours assigned per week: 10-15 hours.
