Isn’t it interesting how the same jobs have been on these lists for decades:

  1. Doctor
  2. Veterinarian
  3. Athlete
  4. Musicians / Singers
  5. Firefighter
  6. Police Officer  / Detectives
  7. Pilot / Airline Pilot
  8. Actor
  9. Spy / CIA
  10. Professional Model

These are the careers the media covers most. What we really need are people who aspire to become small business owners, skilled craftsmen, farmers and ranchers. Maybe some parents or children or even adults will see this and consider these very important careers that do not require college degrees.

They could seek out the very best experts in their fields and become interns – unpaid at first and then paid. Why start out in debt when you could be making a living while getting the skills to run your own business?
