St. James’s Place Financial Adviser Academy and Indeed combined UK worker polling insights with job search data from Indeed to create a list of the ‘Ten best careers you’ve never considered’. These are career options which offer many of the most desirable characteristics, including flexible and hybrid working, and a comfortable salary, but which are surprisingly unconsidered as career choices, according to Indeed’s data.
