Miaoww87 Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 (edited) What career do you recomend? I'm particularly interested in technology / computing but am open to other suggestions. If each post can sorta contain a job, a bit of info describing it and also the avg salary prospects for it, that'd be cool. If you can post about jobs you know about that'd be even better. I'm quite keen not to have a totally boring 9-5 job, but I'm not ruling anything out yet. I'm pre-uni in terms of age so there are lots of pivotal decisions to be made - I'd be really greatful for all the info I can get!

.... Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Make sure the computer at your new job has Spell Check. :) I'd try a few Job Sites, actually, Monster, Hot Jobs...that should give you an idea. Markets, Location, all seem to dictate the money nowadays. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miaoww87 Posted June 5, 2003 Author Share Posted June 5, 2003 oh right.. car ears were what I was originally after, but on reflection I think that a career would do a better job paying the rent. Any mod want to change the title of the thread?! Does anybody here have a R & D job? I'd like to do that sorta thing - maybe the hardware science side of it..

azcodemonkey Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 oh and take my advice what ever it is u do, remeber you'll be doing it for a long-long time so make sure you really like it. Dont just go for the best paid job Listen to this man. R&D is part of my job( programmer ), and definitely the funnest part, but I love my job all the way around, except documentation. Frankly, the job market sucks for programming in my area. A lot of companies are under the impression that they'll save money by off-shoring. It's too bad they don't realize that quality and accountability go out the window. Anyhow, it has taken me a while to find a job/career that I was content with. Don't expect to get it right while you're in college, unless you're lucky. Many people I know that went in thinking they wanted to be engineers are not so happy people after a few years of actually doing it. Good luck to you.
