We should be asking teens and young adults what job environment they want to work in, not just what field
Something I didn’t realize until I graduated COLLEGE was that slow office jobs were not my scene. No amount of my part time graduate coursework made it manageable. I had a slowwwww office job that used some of my skills from college but I honestly just slowly decayed in that office. Just sitting in a box for a job that could be done completely from home and commuting 30 -45 minutes each way.
I wish I got asked what kind of job environment I wanted when I was younger and then explored those options while working part time. The jobs I did before graduating college ranged from retail, to food service, to tutoring. I was always told those weren’t “real” jobs once you graduate (which I concur is complete BS). That the big girl jobs were the corporate ones working for large companies.
Where I work now requires a lot of walking and quick thinking combined with administrative skills. I loved the jobs where I was on my feet all day, and I got lucky with the job I have now, but I just wish the job environment was preached more as part of the field. I might have ended up in a completely different field and maybe even liked it more!
