this part?” Our answer is yes and no. Some jobs with high scores for all measures, such as
Securities, Commodities, and Financial Services Sales Agents—the Enterprising job with the
highest total for pay, growth, and number of openings—would be a very bad job for people
who dislike or are not good at that sort of work. On the other hand, many people would love
working as Gaming Supervisors even though that job has lower earnings, a lower projected
growth rate, and fewer openings. Descriptions for both jobs are included in this book.Possibly somewhere a former securities sales agent works as a gaming supervisor and loves it.

very large casino), have a more fl exible schedule, have more fun, or have other advantages not
available to a securities sales agent.
! e point is that each job is right for somebody, perhaps at a certain time in their lives.
