3. What Is My Intended Occupational
Fields?
In order to make a fair consideration
of career opportunities, it’s necessary to know the total
work world. Just previously we classified work in terms of personality
types. This time we will classify works in terms of general occupational
fields and educational attainment. There are thousands of career
opportunities that can be somewhat classified into four broad categories:
Professional careers
These require a college degree in almost all cases. In some cases,
they also required graduate work beyond the Bachelor of Science
(BS) or Bachelor of Arts (BA) degrees, usually master’s degrees
and doctorates.
Example of work: architect,
doctor, engineer, lawyer, accountant, dentist, teacher, etc.
Semi-professional careers
These also require college training and graduation or work in a
technical school.
Examples of work: pilot, draftsman,
technician, information technology (IT) specialist etc.
Clerical, sales and related workers
Although these also require college training, and graduation or
technical school experience, undergraduates are sometimes accepted.
Examples of works: bookkeeper,
cashier, clerk, insurance agent, real state agent, salesperson secretary,
encoder, system analyst, telecommunication specialist, management
trainee, etc.
Craftsmen and operatives
These are usually high school graduates who may have some vocational,
technical or college training.
Types of works: baker, carpenter,
electrician, mechanist, painter, plumber, driver, miner, switchman,
lineman, welder, custodian, janitor, waiter, busboy, other types
of craftsmen, etc.
