Are you still sitting on your couch, having a hard time choosing a career? Grab your remote control and TV guide. Sit back, relax, and catch a show or two on TV! Seeing your favorite characters do their "work" can perhaps inspire you and give you ideas on which career might be best for you .
1. Grey's Anatomy, House, Scrubs
Aside from watching the love story of McDreamy and Meredith, you can start getting acquainted with the fastest growing industry in the country - health care.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics, this industry provided 14 million jobs in 2006, with medical and health care workers receiving an average salary of $26,290. Continuous growth is expected from this industry; especially since the discovery of new treatments and the development of better medical equipment will definitely open up more and more jobs for millions of fresh graduates around the country.
2. CSI, Dexter, Law and Order, Bones
These shows are packed with a great combination of thrills, chills, and pure excitement! From chasing bad guys to trying to solve gruesome murder cases, crime series and police dramas give you a sneak peek on what goes on in law enforcement.
The U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics emphasized the demand for more law enforcers in the country. Each local government presently employs 25-30 officers in a community to prevent police shortage in their areas. These officers receive a higher annual base salary of $44,160 - $78,547 , for their task of strengthening the security and keeping the peace in their respective communities.
3. Boston Legal, The Practice, JAG
If legal dramas are your thing, why not pursue a career in legal service ? A neophyte attorney can earn anywhere between $72,500 and $137,000 . You can practice your degree in corporate law, international law, litigation, or intellectual property .
4. Friday Night Lights, Boston Public, Teachers
TV series that take place in school or academic settings are mostly dramatic, often dealing with hard issues that students and teachers have to confront. These shows often look into the difficulties of being a teacher or a student, as well as the overwhelming feeling of fulfillment when a goal is accomplished or when you help other people achieve their dreams.
You can either be a professor, guidance counselor, or even the coach of the school team . Educational services occupy the second largest industry in 2006, accounting for 13.3 million and receiving a median earning of $77,790, as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
So if you're having a difficult time choosing a career, your TV is not limited for entertainment -- it can also be your guide to choosing a career that's best for you!
