Career Choices For The Kind Of Heart February 16, 2017Featured, My CareerOff

Researching online, you might think that to succeed in the business world you need to be cutthroat and ruthless. That’s certainly true for some industries and we wish luck to any kindhearted aspiring lawyer or journalist. But it’s certainly not true for all of them. In fact, there are plenty of careers and business opportunities you can look into if you never managed to shake that pesky conscience.

Caring For A Living
There are plenty of careers that have caring right there in the title. You can work in the care home industry, providing attention and support to people in need. This might be the elderly, children in need or even vulnerable adults. It all depends on who you would be best suited to work with. As a carer, you will be responsible for things like preparing their food and maybe just giving them some company through the day. It’s a role that has an enormous responsibility. You might think that a job like this doesn’t involve a lot of chances for great levels of pay. But caring does pay more than you think. You can, if you wish, look into in-home care franchise opportunities. This opens the possibility of you running your own care business and at that point your level of income is anything but limited.

Pass It On
Or, how about working as a teacher? The biggest benefit of this career is the massive holidays. When the kids are off so are you. You might have some busy work over the summer and, you may well need to provide some lesson plans. But apart from that, you’ll be able to relax and rest on an extended vacation. You will also have the opportunity to shape the minds of the next generation. You can deal with any issues that they may have and help them grow into adulthood. Again, there is a tremendous amount of responsibility as a teacher and you have to be careful not to lead students down the wrong path. But ultimately, it can be an incredibly rewarding career.

Beautiful Day To Save Lives
Of course, if you are really interested in helping people you need to look for a role in the medical industry. There you can help save lives and again, provide emotional support. Although, if you want to be connected to patients, you certainly need to think about becoming a nurse. On average doctors spend around ninety seconds with each patient per day. So, while as a doctor you’ll help save lives, as a nurse you’ll care for people on a more personal level. It all depends on who want to be in your job and what you are striving for.

Team Charity
Finally, you can work for or even set up a charitable organization. If you want to give back to the world and show support for people, this is the way to do it. If you are setting up a charity be prepared to be put under the microscope. Ultimately though once you get through the initial stages of setting up you can build a business around helping people all over the world in whatever cause you want to support.
