Well, two of jobs that are compelling to me are fixing electronics, i especially like fixing computer electronics. Another job that is compelling to me is an automotive mechanic, because i enjoy working with my hands.
Well, i found two for the first one and they are: TV & Home Electronics Repair Tech and Field BioMed Technician. The other jobs that i found were: Automobile Technician/Mechanic and Auto Technicians Service Advisor.
I found all of the above jobs on Monster.com it is pretty much off the chain.
All of the jobs above, except the Home electronics tech, require at least an associates degree. The only thing needed to be a Home Electronics Tech is the A+ computer repair certification. To be an automobile mechanic/technician an ASE certification is a very good plus.
I looked in the locations near my home city of Depew, NY. I found a lot of these jobs near Buffalo, NY which is about a 15 to 25 minute drive from Depew. The salaries, on average, were between 27,000 and 36,000 to start. Although, as a Field BioMed Tech, i saw salaries upwards of 42,000 to start.
Most jobs had benefits for retirement, health, dental, and holidays. Holiday benefits include double time and for the most part they were normally not worked on at all.

It's me again with another "blog" of the day!
My two compelling jobs I have in mind are working with computers and customer service agent.
Since I am currently working on my
BA degree in Network Security Management, my first dream job is mainly for the money and that is
Information Technology Project Manager or IT Specialist
(INFOSEC/SYSANAL).
I was able to find these two jobs at USAJOBS.GOV.

My other compelling job is working as a Customer Service Agent Supervisor for Southwest Airlines.

family to where ever Southwest fly!
