If you love working with people and enjoy giving advice, a career helping others fulfill their aspirations might be for you.

Career Coaching

Assist people in finding the right career for them. Career coaching involves assessing your client's personality and work history. You may also help clients find job openings, help them apply for jobs, and prepare them for interviews. A background in human resources, business or psychology can help you as you embark on this path.

Life Coaching

Become a life coach. Life coaching helps clients gain direction in their personal and professional lives. Coaches provide encouragement, empathy and guidance. Many life coaches have undergone coaching themselves, and they enter the field because they want to help others attain their goals.

Counseling

Counsel others through their problems. Counseling helps people solve serious dilemmas in their lives, and it leads them toward greater personal growth and development. Becoming a counselor does not necessarily mean a long period of study.
