Politician

Politics is not for the faint of heart. Politicians prompt hundreds upon hundreds of important legislative actions every day that change the inner workings of our towns, cities and states. Most politicians are or should be highly visible community figures who must be able to speak in front of large groups and making tough decisions under close public scrutiny. People who wish to become politicians would be well served by earning a law degree or a master’s of business administration (MBA) degree.

Public Relations Specialist

Public relations (PR) specialists take care of corporations’ public images by forming positive relationships with members of the public. Different organizations hire PR specialists: hospitals, non-profit businesses, public and private universities, insurance companies, and of course celebrities. Employment prospects should be best for PR specialists with accredited degrees in public relations, advertising, marketing, or other communications related fields.

Although action-packed jobs can be thrilling, even the biggest adventure junkies can burn out after years on the job. If you need a heart-pounding job, go for it - but please pace yourself.
