Sage Career Advice - If you like having some time for yourself...

Sage career advice:  If you like having time for yourself, you know to do those things like day trips, sitting and reading, spending time with the kids in the evening, boating, and other things, I have two bits of advice for you.

If you choose a career in a service field like police, fire, medical, and other "thank God you are there" careers, then you should also take a minor in making time work for you.  Why, because your career will challenge you if you enjoy regular time away from work.  But none the less, you would never be full-filled in any other line of work.  We won't see you behind a desk any time soon.

For the rest of us, stay away from retail.  Or at least a couple of hops away from the retail consumer.  Why, because when the retail consumer is at the store, you are at the store too.  Not at home, and not cozy in the chair.  Some thrive in this area, some don't.  So the Occasional Guru suggests that you examine if weekends and evenings off of work sound like a treat for a hard days work.  If so, steer clear of the retail grind.
