This is a tool to help you search for careers that fit your career type, based on the RIASEC model created by Dr. John Holland. If you don't know your career type, take the career quiz to figure it out!
You can use this tool to find careers that match your top interest areas, while filtering out careers in areas that you have little or no interest in.
You can click on any of the table headers (for example, Average Earnings) to sort your results by that value.

| Exercise Physiologist | Building, Thinking, Helping |
Exercise physiologists develop fitness and exercise programs that help patients recover from chronic diseases and improve cardiovascular function, body composition, and flexibility. |
| Epidemiologist | Thinking, Helping |
Epidemiologists are public health workers who investigate patterns and causes of disease and injury. They seek to reduce the risk and occurrence of negative health outcomes through research, community education and health policy. |
| Environmental Scientist or Specialist | Building, Thinking, Organizing |
Environmental scientists and specialists use their knowledge of the natural sciences to protect the environment and human health. They may clean up polluted areas, advise policymakers, or work with industry to reduce waste. |
| Environmental Science and Protection Technician | Building, Thinking, Organizing |
Environmental science and protection technicians monitor the environment and investigate sources of pollution and contamination, including those affecting public health. |
| Environmental Engineering Technician | Building, Thinking, Organizing |
Environmental engineering technologists and technicians carry out the plans that environmental engineers develop. |
| Environmental Engineer | Building, Thinking, Organizing |
Environmental engineers use the principles of engineering, soil science, biology, and chemistry to develop solutions to environmental problems. They work to improve recycling, waste disposal, public health, and water and air pollution control. They also address global issues, such as unsafe drinking water, climate change, and environmental sustainability. |
| Emergency Medical Technician or Paramedic | Building, Thinking, Helping |
Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics care for the sick or injured in emergency medical settings. People’s lives often depend on the quick reaction and competent care provided by these workers. EMTs and paramedics respond to emergency calls, performing medical services and transporting patients to medical facilities. A 911 operator sends EMTs and paramedics to the scene of an emergency, where they often work with police and firefighters. |
| Emergency Management Director | Helping, Persuading |
Emergency management directors prepare plans and procedures for responding to natural disasters and other emergencies. They also help lead the response during and after emergencies, often in coordination with public safety officials, elected officials, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies. |
| Elevator Installer or Repairer | Building, Thinking, Organizing |
Elevator and escalator installers and repairers install, maintain, and fix elevators, escalators, moving walkways, and other lifts. |
| Elementary, Middle, or High School Principal | Helping, Persuading, Organizing |
Elementary, middle, and high school principals oversee all school operations, including daily school activities. They coordinate curriculums, manage staff, and provide a safe and productive learning environment for students. |
| Electro-mechanical Technician | Building, Thinking, Organizing |
Electro-mechanical and mechatronics technologists and technicians combine knowledge of mechanical technology with knowledge of electrical and electronic circuitry. They operate, test, and maintain unmanned, automated, robotic, or electromechanical equipment. |
| Electrician | Building, Organizing |
Electricians install, maintain, and repair electrical power, communications, lighting, and control systems in homes, businesses, and factories. |
| Electrical or Electronics Installer or Repairer | Building, Thinking, Organizing |
Electrical and electronics installers and repairers install or repair a variety of electrical equipment in telecommunications, transportation, utilities, and other industries. |
| Electrical or Electronics Engineer | Building, Thinking |
Electrical engineers design, develop, test, and supervise the manufacture of electrical equipment, such as electric motors, radar and navigation systems, communications systems, or power generation equipment. Electrical engineers also design the electrical systems of automobiles and aircraft. Electronics engineers design and develop electronic equipment, including broadcast and communications systems, such as portable music players and Global Positioning System (GPS) devices. Many also work in areas closely related to computer hardware. |
| Electrical or Electronic Engineering Technician | Building, Thinking |
Electrical and electronic engineering technologists and technicians help electrical and electronics engineers plan and develop communications equipment, computers, medical monitoring devices, or other equipment that is powered by other electricity or electric current. They often work in product evaluation and testing, using measuring and diagnostic devices to test, adjust, and repair equipment. They are also involved in assembling equipment for automation. |
| Editor | Creating, Persuading |
Editors plan, review, and revise content for publication. |
| Economist | Thinking, Persuading, Organizing |
Economists study the production and distribution of resources, goods, and services by collecting and analyzing data, researching trends, and evaluating economic issues. |
| Drywall or Ceiling Tile Installer, and Taper | Building, Organizing |
Drywall installers and ceiling tile installers hang wallboard and install ceiling tile inside buildings. Tapers prepare the wallboard for painting, using tape and other materials. Many workers both install and tape wallboard. |
| Drafter | Building, Creating |
Drafters use software to convert the designs of architects and engineers into technical drawings. Most workers specialize in architectural, civil, electrical, or mechanical drafting and use technical drawings to help design everything from microchips to skyscrapers. |
| Dispensing Optician | Building, Persuading, Organizing |
Opticians help fit eyeglasses and contact lenses, following prescriptions from ophthalmologists and optometrists. They also help customers decide which eyeglass frames or contact lenses to buy. |
