The Best Jobs for Aquarians

The belief that the position of the stars and planets at the moment of birth has an effect on our characters and lives is ancient. Many ancient cultures, from the Greeks to the Mayans, studied the stars and found meaning in them, practicing astrology. In 2008, CareerBuilder.com conducted a survey of 9,000 workers in order to determine how astrology and birth order affected careers and compensation. They found that Aquarians were often drawn to careers in sales, the military, engineering, mechanics, food preparations, facilities management and transportation.

The unconventional Aquarian needs to be stimulated by their work and craves the freedom to explore new ideas. Repetitive or routine jobs will frustrate and bore them. They prefer work that challenges them and allows them to express their unconventional side. Aquarians like to be on the cutting edge of their field, whatever that field may be, and doing things the same way over and over will not satisfy them. Aquarians are well suited to jobs that require creative thinking, innovation and a need for constant fresh approaches, such as sales, engineering and marketing.
