Concierge is a career that is growing in popularity, as more and more people are looking for ways to make a difference in their lives. It involves taking care of personal services for guests, such as finding a babysitter, making dinner reservations, and monitoring house maintenance requests. It requires a great deal of patience and emotional endurance, as often times concierge services are needed at odd hours of the night.
The job of a concierge is to make sure that guests have a pleasant and comfortable stay. This includes providing them with information about the local area, helping them with their reservations, and being available to answer any questions they may have. It also involves ensuring that all of their needs are met, such as providing them with a clean room and making sure that all of their requests are taken care of.
5. Funeral Director
While not anyone can do this, being a funeral director is an honorable and compassionate career choice. Equipped with excellent organization skills and kept up-to-date with industry-related details, funeral directors also have the delicate task of handling the family members of the dearly departed in a trying, delicate and emotional period.
6. Correctional Officer
Being a correctional officer in a prison or correctional center requires the ability to keep the peace in a tense situation and supervise inmates to prevent assaults or crisis situations. Above all, you need a healthy dose of positivity and compassion to keep it together and help all those involved.
7. Family Therapist
Being a family therapist is probably one of the careers that require the most compassion and understanding. You need to use your ingenuity, people skills and empathy to reach out to families in need of guidance and help them find a way to solve their problems, while ensuring a better life for themselves and their children.

Family therapists provide an invaluable service to families in need of guidance. They have the ability to assess the needs of the family and create a plan of action to help them reach their goals. They are also trained to recognize and address issues such as substance abuse, depression, and mental health. They provide a safe and supportive environment for families to work through their issues. They also work closely with other professionals such as social workers, psychologists, and psychiatrists to ensure the best possible outcome for the family. Family therapists are often a source of comfort and support to families in need, and can help them find a path to a better future.
8. Flight Attendant
Becoming a flight attendant can be stressful and risky, but it is also quite fulfilling. It’s your job to make sure everyone is safe, comfortable and taken care of while in flight, and you’ll often have to solve problems relating to poorly managed children or restless passengers.
9. Alternative Healthcare Practitioner
Chiropractors, reflexologists, energy healers and other integrative and alternative healthcare practitioners are probably some of the most compassionate people you will run into. These careers ask you to go above and beyond normal healthcare responsibilities and form a true empathic bond with the patients, in order to assist with deep healing processes.
Of course, some of these compassionate careers are also difficult paths to take, and they may not be for everyone. Still, isn’t it worth trying to make life just a little better instead of simply struggling for self-sustenance? What are your thoughts on this and which of these career paths appeals to you the most?

medina: u re so pretty girl kk
Qutie: Being a nurse is rewarding. I enjoy it every minute of it. Seeing my patient smile makes my day.
Rose: healthcare assistants do more of the caring and nursing than nurses do.. but they are not on this list.. ✋
deeds92: The nurses I've been around call the nursing assistants whenever there is a problem, their excuse is that they have to hand out medication. I've spoken to a nurse and she said it's different now it's all paperwork.
ta2edsassy: How great to see correctional officer on the list! I've been an Officer for 16 years and we always get such a bad rap. Granted there are always the few who like to overstep the authority given. It takes great strength to deal with the worst criminals and see the horrible things we see. You have to care when a human life is in your hands in any light!
Maggie: occupational therapists!
