Top 10: Misleading Career Paths

As a child, you may have been told that growing up in America is all about pursuing your dreams. There are unlimited opportunities in this country. You can be anything you want to be. And we agree.  

Having said that, unemployment has been hovering around 10% and doesn’t appear to be dropping any time soon. Only about one quarter of recent college grads have found work. And many highly qualified adults who have been laid off since the recession began are having trouble finding a job that pays them suitable wages.

We don’t want to discourage anyone from pursuing their dreams. However, we strongly encourage you to do your research before you accept that nonpaying internship or commission-only sales job that has “unlimited income potential.” Too many people have wasted years of their life pursuing their ideal career only to find out that the work wasn’t what they bargained for. So, plan your career with eyes wide open. You can start by perusing the following 10 career paths that look good from a distance (think glamour and great wealth), but up close might not beat that thing you have going on at the pizza place by that much (think boring and low paid).
