Pursuit of Career #2

These past few years I've become an avid fan of CBS's hit TV show How I Met Your Mother, and obviously, my favorite character is the womanizing suit lover, Barney Stinson. I was always fascinated with how his job allowed him to do nothing, while getting an extremely high salary. Whenever there was a conversation about Barney's career, I listened carefully, hoping to finally figure out his mysterious job. But every time it came up, he nonchalantly replied with a smirk saying"please", and changing the subject. The only thing I knew, was that it involved business. I always knew that going into business would be a safer route, because of the abundance and demand in that category. Looking at the possible career options I considered finance, marketing, and human resources. These careers appealed to me because they had higher salaries and projected growth within the next 10 years (also, I get to wear a suit almost everyday). A career in business seems to satisfy financially(usually)(hopefully)(probably not), but whether or not I will find it enjoyable is an essential question.
