What kind of careers in office work are there?
Asked by alexandra8
I change my major almost every semester. I don't know what I want to major in. I'm looking for a professional career that includes the office setting. I've always loved the thought of having my own office. I was thinking about social work, but what other options are there?

Best Answer:
Typically social work is not considered an "office setting job". In many agencies you would have only a cubical not an office. Also you will usually spend a lot of time doing home visits and meetings. If you really want an "office type job" you should look toward business. This is the place that will really have an office.

Have you considered marketing? My daughter does that but, unfortunately, does not have her own office - just a cubicle. You could try the state or federal government. See what jobs are available with them. Any corporation like Target would be a good place to work. Your college must have a library of resources for jobs. Check that out.

being a social worker involves a lot of time away from the office under most employment scenarios. there are a lot of jobs that work from an office from a secretary to an attorney from accounts payable clerk to a workers compensation case worker(RN). if you want some insight on different careers try this site.
