Math may not be your child’s forte, but that does not mean his or her future is bleak.
My daughter got home upset yesterday when her friends discussed their future career choice: one wanted to be an engineer, one a nurse, the other a bank manager.
She cried and told me she hated math and struggled with it. She even believed that a fast-food restaurant would not hire her.
From one mother to another, she does struggle with numbers.
While consoling her, I wondered what careers could she focus on that did not rely on math.
And I found this excellent listicle from portal Business Insider that highlighted 25 jobs making US$60,000 a year that require little to no math skill.
Myriad choices, up for grabs
The choices presented in the article covered a variety of fields. Just look at the top three:
3. Compliance manager
Median salary: US$103,530
Managers plan, direct, or coordinate activities of an organization to ensure compliance with ethical or regulatory standards.
2. Law teacher, post-secondary
Median salary: US$105,080
Law professors teach courses in law at a university or graduate level. This title includes both those primarily engaged in teaching and those who do a combination of teaching and research.
1. Judges, magistrate judges, and magistrates
Median salary: $118, 150
Judges arbitrate, advise, adjudicate, or administer justice in a court of law. They may sentence a defendant in criminal cases according to government statutes or sentencing guidelines, determine liability of a defendant in civil cases, and perform wedding ceremonies.
Keep calm and keep on searching
So parents, take heart. If you kids are not particularly good at crunching numbers, they can still look at other options out there that would help them make it in life. All you need to do is search, explore and think outside of the box.
