Some people do not want a long commute or a geographic relocation. For them, a good job is one that is available where they live. Finally, the steady hours that high pay demands may be just the opposite of what a worker wants. Some only want part-time work, due to family responsibilities, school, or other pursuits. Despite the public's perception that the economy is creating mostly lower skill, low wage jobs, examination of the data reveals that there are many good jobs for those who do not have a bachelor's degree-not only jobs with high wages, but also jobs that are good for other, less tangible reasons.
Any job is a complicated medley of positives and negatives.
One factor seldom makes a job good or bad. Get to know all you can about occupations you are considering. It is extremely important to research the entry requirements and other characteristics so that you will know what to expect out of the job. Above all, remember that it is important to make a career choice that is good for you. The demand for skilled workers will remain strong.
