What career is best for you depends on a number of factors, such as aptitudes, personality type, what motivates you, and personal interest. Putting money first and ignoring these unique aspects of self often results in an overstressed career life that is likely to lead to burnout. Conversely, people who excel in their chosen field and genuinely love their work quite often end up earning more than those who selected a career based primarily on available earnings data.
A good career assessment will take into consideration your strengths, interests and, most importantly, those often overlooked motivations which can point the way to finding your true passion. Once these are identified, you will be able to narrow your career research significantly, making the process of identifying your ideal career much easier.

Once you have identified one or more careers of interest you may find consulting the Occupational Outlook Handbook published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics at http://www.bls.gov/OCO/ helpful. It will give you access to hundreds of different types of jobs – such as teacher, lawyer, and nurse – the Occupational Outlook Handbook will provide you with:

* earnings info
* expected job prospects
* what workers do on the job
* working conditions
Good luck finding your path!

What’s your degree in? If you let me know I’ll give a more specific answer, I work at university’s Career Center part time, (I’m a student).
If you haven’t gotten one yet and are looking to make money and not necessarily love your job….get a degree in accounting or engineering. With either degree you will start close to or well above $50,000.
If you don’t want to go to school for 4 years you could be a dental hygienist, most work only 4 days a week, never during holidays, you get excellent benefits and the national average for pay is $50,000.
