    Depends on what your skills are and what you enjoy doing and what your priorities are: money, flexibility, sense of fulfillment. A smart career counselor told me 30 years ago that it’s foolish to go into a career just because there’s a need for that particular occupation. Go into something that fits your personality, skills & priorities. Can you turn a hobby into a job? With the internet, there are all new possibilites to sell services. Just Curious

    Geographical specialization has made it pretty impossible to pursue certain careers unless you live in specific cities. Unless you’re willing to move, you might want to find out what’s available in your town.

    Assess what you’re good at and enjoy (or pay a job counselor to do that with tests, interviews, etc.), get VERY good at it and pursue it. Just Curious
