Topic: “Looking Beyond-My Career"

Job-seekers frequently look at the ten hottest career or the highest paying career lists as a guide to which are the hottest jobs around. The more determined ones then work or study towards reaching one of these ‘hot jobs’. In a parallel career you’re NOT looking for a better job or even a ‘hot job’. It’s because you realize that a job is only as stable as whether your boss likes you…or your boss’ survival in the company…or the survival of the company...or other factors beyond your control. You’re looking for something that lasts long-term, something you can develop while you still have a job. You are not looking for short- to medium-term gratification. In your quest for a parallel career, the ten hottest career or highest paying career lists are used only as indicators of what jobs (and hence skill sets and know-how) are in high demand in the marketplace.
