If you like setting up and organizing things but are not particularly scientific or design-minded, or if you are more service-oriented and like to help people, you may want to consider one of the following careers.
Curators - Curators oversee collections of many types such as museums, galleries, zoos, gardens, and historic sites. Curators plan and prepare exhibits to showcase the collections. Part of their job may include describing and classifying items, organizing and displaying objects or information. They make purchases, receive gifts, and arrange for exchanges of items with other museums and collectors. Depending on the type of museum, a background in art, science, archaeology or history may be helpful for the job. Many people work part time as a volunteer or intern after completing their formal education. Related occupations that use similar skills include anthropologists, archaeologists, botanists, ethnologists, folklorists, genealogists, historians, horticulturists, information specialists, librarians, painting restorers, and zoologists.
Entrepreneurs - An entrepreneur is a person who starts, organizes, and manages a new business enterprise or venture, and assumes responsibility for the inherent risks that go along with it. He or she usually offers a product or service by carving out a niche in the market that may not exist currently. Entrepreneurs tend to identify a market opportunity and exploit it by organizing their resources effectively to accomplish a desired outcome. Most commonly, the term entrepreneur is applied to people who have shown exceptional ability and imagination in launching and succeeding with new business ventures.
Teacher/Child Psychologist - They interact with children in a variety of settings (e.g., public/private schools, child care facilities, preschools, etc.). In guiding young children’s learning and development, these professionals must possess the knowledge, skills and sensitivity to interact successfully with children while helping to interpret the world around them in a way that makes sense. Examples of topics for study include: how learning takes place; factors that influence learning; climates for learning; and accommodation of children’s needs including special needs, interests, attitudes and motivations.
Community Workers - Every town needs police officers, firefighters, paramedics and rescue workers plus crossing guards, pizza chefs, grocers, mechanics, tow truck drivers, and more. There are airplane and helicopter pilots, truck drivers, mail carriers, theater workers, sanitation workers, waiters, gas station attendants, crane operators, fork lift operators, farmers, doctors and nurses, train engineers and conductors, boat captains, and construction workers.
