What would be a good career for me? |
I have an interest in old buildings and their history. I'm not interested in art really. There is a need out there for people that do estimatiing and also for people that want to know the history of different types of buildings. There is even a T.V. show called if these walls could tlk which is devotedt o giving th e history of different houses in all kinds of cities. You just have to look into your area and see if there are any types of these companies doing business in your area. Good Luck it sounds like an interesting career choice. Maybe a realtor? Real Estate Agent? There is a really good book that comes with a companion workbook that helps you assess your interests and determine the job(s) you would be good at and happy doing. It is called "What Color is Your Parachute". You need to do the exercises in the workbook to help determine what fields you should look into. A job hunt is just a job hunt until we come to that point in our lives where we want to set our feet upon a new path. When the traditional job hunt doesn't work very well at all.
