Ass-backwards World

It never seizes to annoy and confuse me that jobs in which you are directly affecting someone's well-being and quality of life (e.g. social work-type positions) pay about $25k-$40k, while jobs in which you are doing the grunt work that executives don't want to do (e.g. administrative-type positions) pay $35k-$60k. It doesn't make sense.

Well anyway, since I have a degree now, I'm applying to different types of positions to see what will happen. I know I've already stated this in a previous post, but I'm just keeping track of what I'm doing for my own benefit. Here is my current idea: get a job doing some sort of employment placement or career development...I'm still learning the job titles associated with this, but this is what I'm thinking...I have a terrible work history (not stable) which irritates me, but as a result, I think I would be great at using that knowledge to help place others in jobs that are right for them. PLUS, I think I'm a pretty decent judge of character and would be able to figure out what someone might be good at. I don't want to be a recruiter though...too sales-like.
