Choosing a Career: 10 Entry-Level Jobs That Make You The Happiest!

Choosing a career can be a life-long journey of trial and error. For a majority of us, the path takes many twists and turns before a dream job is revealed. You know, the one that's more "fulfilling," the one that doesn't feel like a job at all. It's something we all strive for. To discover a career that brings true joy and a feeling that you've found your calling.

What if you had a shortcut? What if you had some insight that betters your chances of finding happiness right out of the gates?

That's where CareerBliss comes in. A team of analysts with the online career community scoured thousands of independent company reviews by employees to find the top 10 "Happiest Entry-Level Jobs of 2018." Factors include workplace relationships, work environment, compensation, growth potential, company culture and more. Here's the list: 

  • corporate recruiter 
  • accounts receivable manager 
  • writer 
  • software intern 
  • data analyst intern 
  • graduate teaching assistant

This is such a great post because it shows that you should truly follow what makes you happy, not just the money. I always loved writing. It took me a while to figure out that I could make a career out of it, though. As a two-time media company founder, I still love the core of what I am: a writer. So happy to see it made the list! Also happy to see data analyst on the list, since that's the path my son chose. Love this, Jessica Acree !
