Top Careers for Working Parents

Let’s face it, being a parent is a tough job. Long hours, no holidays or vacation days, and the pay is anything but spectacular. Of course, parenting has some great rewards, and most parents wouldn’t trade those intangible benefits for anything. However, the reality is most parents struggle to figure out how to be good full-time parents while fitting in a full-time job. Often, it’s the parenting duties that get left on the back burner.

Parents have to support their families, but hopefully not at the cost of never being there for their families. With that backdrop in mind, which careers are the best suited for working parents? Keep in mind that these jobs might not always pay the best, but they do offer more flexibility, which enables parents to be there when their kids need them most.

These positions include call center representatives, school bus drivers, teacher’s aids, tax accountants, and web writers. All of these positions are typically quite flexible. On the other hand, some of the higher paying jobs that are good for working parents include dietitian, physician assistant, public relations specialist, speech-language pathologist, and web developer. These not only allow for greater flexibility, but they also offer a better quality of life.

The American Dreams show was the brainchild of Alan Olsen, CPA, MBA. It was originally created to fill a specific need; often inexperienced entrepreneurs lacked basic information about raising capital and how to successfully start a business.

Alan sincerely wanted to respond to the many requests from aspiring entrepreneurs asking for the information and introductions they needed. But he had to find a way to help in which his venture capital clients and friends would not mind.

The American Dreams show became the solution, first as a radio show and now with YouTube videos as well. Always respectful of interview guest’s time, he’s able to give access to individuals information and inspiration previously inaccessible to the first-time entrepreneurs who need it most.

They can listen to venture capitalists and successful business people explain first-hand, how they got to where they are, how to start a company, how to overcome challenges, how they see the future evolving, opportunities, work-life balance and so much more..

American Dreams discusses many topics from some of the world’s most successful individuals about their secrets to life’s success. Topics from guest have included:

Creating purpose in life / Building a foundation for their life / Solving problems / Finding fulfillment through philanthropy and service / Becoming self-reliant / Enhancing effective leadership / Balancing family and work…
