Going Back to School by Zodiac Sign

Your astrological guide to changing careers

by Raven Bailey

With unemployment on the rise, many folks are finding that there are few jobs left in their chosen career fields, and the competition for what remains is fierce. Many experts suggest changing job paths in tough economic times, which often means going back to school. Considering taking the big leap? Read on to see which career is a good fit for your Sun sign.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Rams love action and excitement, so they'd fit right in at the police academy. The physical demands of training would feel like pushing themselves to run a marathon (which this sign also loves). Many Aries have great careers in an office, but most of them secretly dream about a job that feels more like an adventure.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
The only thing Bulls love more than eating gourmet food is getting their hands dirty and creating it. These folks would excel in culinary school, and once graduated, make excellent chefs in restaurants, in private homes or on TV.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
This brainy sign knows a lot, and they love to share the knowledge and trivia they've picked up along the way. Getting a teaching degree would be a great way to get these folks out of the doldrums of life in an office. Their thirst and enthusiasm for learning would make them an inspiration to the students they teach.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Crabs are nurturing and maternal, so social work is the perfect niche for them. In terms of what to specialize in school-wise, this sign tends to pick up their causes close to home -- the best fit would probably be something a friend or family member has dealt with that they already feel passionately about.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Leos love to be the center of attention, so acting school would give them the opportunity to shine. Whether they focus on theater, commercial work or comedy, this sign is a natural-born talent. Just look at famous Leos Sean Penn and Halle Berry for inspiration.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
If any sign always remembers to dot their "i"s and cross their "t"s, it's Virgo. That's why this sign makes great, meticulous editors. Going back to school for an English degree, or even taking some classes at the local community college in editing, would give this sign the skills they need to expand on their natural talent.
