Blog Post: Top Paying Jobs for Women! Maybe start a new career!


posted Thursday, September 3, 2009 10:15 AM

I just read a great article on Forbes.com with the Top paying jobs for women and I wanted to share with it with you.

The reason it caught my attention, 1. I am a woman (obviously) and 2. I wanted to share that in case you are thinking of a career path, here are some great choices:

These were their Top 5:

5. Computer & Information Managers

4. Computer Software Engineers

3. Lawyers

2. Chief Executives

and the # 1. Pharmacists!!!

I have to say, I was so excited to see Pharmacists as #1, because my very dear friend graduated May 2008 from Nova Southeastern University's Pharmacy School, which is very good (I went to NSU, can you tell, GO SHARKS), and now she is a pharmacist!

But more importantly why I wanted to share this with you is that she changed careers! She was a middle school teacher and wanted to change her career. Yes, in her mid 30's she went back to school, towards the end of her last year, got pregnant with child #3, finished in May, giving birth in June!!!!  She is amazing! 

We all have dreams and goals...make them a reality.  I am not telling you to change your career from a teacher to a pharmacist, or go back to school, but merely giving you an example that it is possible to start a new career.

Anohter point of this blog is to let you know which industries are thriving.  This is a great blog for young women starting their careers that need some guidance.  Also, for you men reading...there are plenty of opportunities for you as well in these industries and jobs.

As a Certified Professional Resume Writer, Coach, and someone who cares about the community, it is much easier to get what you want, when you know what you want and you have an action plan to get there.

There are plenty of opportunities out there for everyone, but you must Take Action.

Also, being professionally prepared is essential as well.  With September being Update Your Resume Month, I have taken on the responsibility to do my part in eduating you. Please join me tongiht on a FREE webinar: "How to Write a Resume"

Have a Successful Day!

Violet

Violet, I am 58 and have degrees from 2 Ivy League schools BS from Cornell and MBA from Columbia and I have been unemployed and afraid unemployable since Nov of 08. For years I have thought about Pharmacy as a career, but life always got in the way and I felt I was already overeducated. Now I find myself not in a good position to go back to school even though I would love to get a degree in Pharmacy. By the way, my BS is science oriented so I probably have all the prereqs ie. bio, chem, organic chem etc. Liked reading your post and considering investigating a degree at Nova. It is right in my neighborhood and my youngest sister got her MHA there years ago. I know it is a good school.

Violet, I have an AA degree and I am a srub tech. I am 55 and considering a change of career. I have been thinking about Pharmacy but thought maybe I am too old to go back to school. Also, I don't have the money, Nova is great but expensive and I don't know another school offering Pharmacy. Another fact that bothers me, by the time I get a degree in Pharmacy, I will be too old for companies are hiring younger people. What can I do?
