c) Prosperous this is a job where you can learn a lot, attain prestige, and have a great deal of power and responsibility. You are so busy earning money, however, you do not have a lot of time to spend with friends and family.



d) Free time and Fringe Benefits. This job is the least demanding of all the jobs. The pay is low, and you do not learn very much that is new to you. You arrange your working hours to suit yourself and only work about 30 hours a week.
