5 Careers That Could Match Your Skill Set
Finding a career that you really love and enjoy can be hard these days. Some days, pursuing your passion seems like a far-fetched idea and the more pressing demand to earn money becomes the priority. However, this doesn't mean that you can't find a job that fits your skills.
Here are some career choices that could match your skill set.
For People who Love to Read
Sadly, reading books for hours on end will not get you that much-needed money to, well, purchase more books. Thankfully, there are jobs that cater to bookworms' one true passion -- reading.
Bookworms will thrive as publishers, novelists, English professors, librarians, independent bookstore owners, literary agents, editors and as employees in a company that deals with books, Popsugar listed.
For Those who Like Planning
Nitpicking personalities can be good in select working environments. Their perfectionist attitude can lead to good ideas in business.
People who are natural planners and multitaskers will surely enjoy being a special events manager, business development manager, brand marketing strategist, communications coordinator, personal stylist, virtual assistant to clients and operations associate, the Muse listed.
For People with Social Anxiety
Not all people crave social interaction. Some find their peace while working alone and doing what they love best. For individuals who easily get anxious around others, working in a company could be challenging. However, this doesn't mean that they can't have jobs that also involve other people.
According to Healthy Place, anxiety-friendly jobs require low levels of stress and low noise levels, as well as little interruptions and distractions. Limited interaction is also important for people with social anxiety.
Some careers perfect for anxious people are as follows: writing, animal care, computer programing, childcare, nurse's aide and landscaping.
For Those with ADHD
Adult attention deficit hyperactive disorder, or ADHD, is "characterized by restlessness, disorganization, and the inability to focus," Healthline wrote. ADHD, however, also comes with a unique array of strengths.
People who have ADHD thrive in high-intensity environments, which makes them perfect as doctors and nurses. They are also stimulated by change (police officers and firefighters), creativity (artists and entertainers), independence (entrepreneurs), physical/hands-on work (military and construction workers), success (salespeople), variety (mechanics) and clear deadlines (delivery truck drivers).
For Those with Disabilities
Having a disability doesn't stop people from acquiring a job to fend for themselves. Tony Lee, publisher of job listings and advice website CareerCast, compiled a list of best jobs for individuals with disabilities. Some of the jobs on the list are financial analyst, management consultant, accountant/auditor, pharmaceutical sales, physician assistant, software engineer and vocational counselor.
