Introduction

Some companies, and especially some gurus who sell online courses, want to make you believe that you are doing people a service by selling them your stuff — just create another agency and sell online marketing.

But to help the most people, you should focus on fields that address significant societal needs and have broad applications.

Maybe you want to do something significant in this world, your want to make a change. But not everyone can become a social activist, travel the world and take part in demonstrations. Some of us have to do the dirty hard work

However, this should not take away your motivation to do something that counts!

Because let‘s be real: Working for a corporation won‘t be it, no matter how positive their cause should be. At the end of the day you are working there to increase the profit for shareholders.

If you are not delivering results, guess what will happen?

Significant Fields for Study and Work

As already mentioned, online marketing is probably not a significant way of making the world a better place. But what are these areas? Of course, everyone thinks of medicine first, but not everyone wants to become a doctor. Such studies are long and expensive. On the other hand, there are:

Healthcare

  • Medicine: Becoming a doctor allows you to directly impact people’s health and well-being.
  • Nursing: Nurses play a critical role in patient care and health education.
  • Public Health: Focuses on improving community health through education, policy-making, and research.
  • Mental Health: Specializing in psychology, psychiatry, or counseling helps address mental health issues.

But what if healthcare just doesn’t interest you? Maybe you’re a bit more introverted and want to think more than act? Theory is always well proven and you can simply think about how to improve structures to make people’s lives better. The following are particularly suitable for this:

Politics

  • Political Science: Understanding and influencing policy to create positive societal changes.
  • Public Administration: Managing public programs and initiatives that improve community well-being.

Or perhaps you would prefer to gain a deeper understanding of educational processes and be able to effectively promote the education and learning of individuals and groups. Educators play a central role in promoting knowledge, skills and social competencies. They help pupils to develop their full potential and prepare them for future challenges.

Education

  • Teaching: Educators have the power to shape the future by imparting knowledge and critical thinking skills.
  • Educational Policy: Working to improve education systems can have a broad impact on society.

A degree in Environmental Studies also offers scope for personal development with a certain purpose. Environmental scientists are often involved in developing innovative solutions to pressing environmental problems such as climate change, water pollution and air quality.

Environmental Studies

  • Environmental Science: Working to protect the environment can ensure a healthier planet for future generations.
  • Sustainable Development: Focuses on creating solutions that balance economic, social, and environmental needs.

Conclusion

Choose a field that aligns with your interests, skills, and values, as you are likely to be more passionate and effective in your work if you care deeply about the area you’re involved in.
