Help I cant Decide!!!!!!!!!!!Sales/Advertising, Web Design, Internet Marketing, Human Resources?

Hi, there I am a 26 yr old female who has 2 semesters of business mgmt/Human Resources under my belt. Unfortunately I am starting to think this job is not the right choice. I am considering all of the careers listed above.I am a very down to earth, sensitive, creative, helpful type (I am a cancer if that helps.)I want to find the right field to fit my personality so that i will enjoy what I do. I love designing things such as flyers, using programs such as powerpoint, and in general just talking with people and brainstorming new ideas. Which of these careers is in the most demand or pays the best?Which one would fit my personality the most? (Please keep in mind I don't want to work 70 hrs a week either.)If possible I would also like something I could do from home if need be. Any input would be much appreciated, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    There are many subspecialties in the Human Resources field which might interest you. How about Training or Corporate Event Planning? New Business Development is also a field to look into - All of the above will use your creative skills, your people skills and your powerpoint skills.

    You can also take a career assessment test. Such a test will evaluate your skills, abilities and talents and then recommend career choices. Guidance/career centers in most colleges should have these assessment tests, as well as employment agencies.

    Good luck.

    Best Start a Home Based Business Based on YOUR Know-How

    Find the type of business on the link below that best describes what it is that YOU do (or want to do). Then see how to truly use the Net to make your specific business (or business idea) thrive. http://www.wotsnext.com/

    Or, as an example, take a look at how I use the above. Then see if you can fit something similar around your own area of expertise.

    Then all you need is a passion and some persistence. http://www.psychic-junkie.com/are-you-psychic.html This page links you to all the resources I use.

    If you that creative streak and you're presentable, articulate, motivated, and savvy, you might look into advertising, marketing or public relations. Marketing is more business oriented. Advertising and PR both have "account people" who manage client relationships, and "creative people" who come up with ideas, write, do commercial art, etc. There are a lot of other advertising jobs too - if you like to be out and about and don't want hi stress, you might like to do surveys, mall intercepts, or secret shopping. If you are more of a numbers person, look at market research. If you're a great facilitator, learn how to facilitate focus groups.

    I can think of a job that combines all of these skills. Get a double major in HR/Business and Communications, and then apply for a role in Employee Communications. It is a field that combines knowhow in HR and communications. Most EE Comm folks also work with the intranet for employees, and must understand web design and marketing internal to the company (Employer branding). Hot field, go for it, if you like these subjects.
