The best ways to get a good career that you will enjoy or that pays enough is to figure out what you enjoy doing and go to college to be what you want to be then get certified in that career. Find people or coaches to help support you and make your career come true. If you don't know what you want to be you can make a list of things you enjoy doing and limit it down to something that pays good and to something you wont be absolutely miserable doing.

First and foremost you should know the career path you want. 1. try to become an apprentice of someone in the career 2. speak with people you'd be working with. 3. observe the workplace. is how you could find the career of you choice.

one great way to find a career is to attend a career or "job" fair. this is an effective step because all of the employers are looking for potential employees.
Another good way is to use the internet, research possible career fields that suit you and your personality.
From there you'd be one step away and all you'd have to do is fill out the application, and with that you should make a resume to give to your future employer.

The number one statistic to base your career on is passion. You need to be passionate about your career so that you love your job. Number two is money. You need to be able to have enough income to support yourself and/or your family. And last, but not least is, to be at an expert understanding level in your career.

One really good way to find a career would be to research on the web to find what career best suits you.
Another great way is do try volunteering at many different places to gain experience and incite on what you would actually be doing if you decided to further explore that career such as; volunteering at a fire station or in a hospital.
Also asking a successful elder about the wear abouts of the path they chose and form your own opinion that way.
Which ever way you chose to find a career, one of these three ways is sure to be helpful in the finding of your future long term job.
