I’ve added a link to The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). It’s a gold mine of information for individuals who want to know more about various occupations.
One of its most useful tools is The Occupational Outlook Handbook, which lists over 300 of the most common careers in the US. It provides information regarding what the job entails, how much education one needs, average salaries, and the job outlook. Be careful with the salaries, though. Cost of living expenses vary widely across the US, so one could be paid either more or less than the average, depending on where one lives. For example, salaries for certain occupations might be much higher in Alaska than they are in Texas, but the cost of living in Alaska is higher, too.
Take a look at this great web site, and you will definitely come away with lots of useful knowledge about the career(s) you wanted to research.

Why I'm Doing This
Hello.
A few months ago, I became the division counselor for Business, Social and Behavioral Sciences at Lone Star College-North Harris. I've been searching for a way in which I could communicate with individuals who have an interest in these areas so that they could obtain information that might be helpful. Someone suggested a blog, so here it is.
Stay tuned for more details, and please bear with me as I learn more about this process.
