Career Opportunities

My teenage son is wanting a clue as to what career might suit him best. He is not a computer nerd type (his older brother is a senior in college in software design), but he does like the computer. He also says that he would like work that dosen't keep him behind a desk all the time. He is good in math and science, but is also very creative. He is a good pianist, and has his own cartoon strip in the local newspaper. He is athletic as well. We are of a religious faith in which we do not work on Saturdays. He is not interested in a career that requires Sabbath work. Does anyone have any ideas about what he would be well suited for?

Career Search

You and your son might take a look at the database of careers on this Web site. From the front page he can search over 250 careers. He will have access to most of the professionals also through this discussion board.

Biochemist

You know what would be good for your son, to be a biochemist. It wouldn't keep him behind the desk all the time but he could put his imagination to the test.
