Types Of Jobs In Trinidad And Tobago

By Marissa Velazquez


Jobs in Trinidad and Tobago are of many kinds. Every single individual residing in these places seeks to fit in at least one sector of all the available sectors. There are many types of tasks, ranging from business, manual labor, security, agriculture and transport among others. It is therefore up to an individual to join the field which they feel best suits their interests.

The first category of work is that one which requires more of intellectual and some manual work in some cases. These tasks are commonly referred to as white collar jobs. They usually involve an individual working in a well structured office under a given rank or title. Here, the people who secure the employment opportunities must have attained qualifications that satisfy their employers in line with their field of employment.

The individuals in this field usually earn fixed salaries at fixed intervals, say monthly. As such, their sources of income are guaranteed. Some of these jobs may also be of the flexible kind that can be taken during part time, thus allowing the employees to spend the rest of their other time doing other things or spending time with their families. Some people also feel good about themselves when they get such working opportunities.

However, not every individual may be inclined towards doing these jobs. Some people may consider some demerits such as limited freedom. Once one is employment under such conditions, they may not have the necessary freedom to run their own private ventures. Instead, they have to obey to the terms and conditions of the work they are doing lest they lose the employment. Some of the employers also offer very low salaries for a lot of work done.

Other tasks include those which do not need much of intellectual input. These ones either depend on the manual ability of an individual or rather the talents that various people have. Most people in this field are their own bosses. Such employment opportunities are ion a wide array and they include driving, carpentry, masonry among others such as singing. Some people in this field may even end up establishing their personal companies.

The individuals who have ventured into this field can attest to the many benefits accruing to them. For one, they are never accountable to anybody, since they are their own boss. Besides, they can restructure their ventures into what they want them to appear like. These kinds of duties also make it possible for one to run more than one venture without any single problem or difficulty.

Despite all the above benefits, the members in this category of tasks also have got their own challenges. Since their monthly returns are not fixed or guaranteed, they may find it rather difficult to obtain loans from banking and other financial institutions. Some of the tasks may be physically draining.

Jobs in Trinidad and Tobago have provided a source of income to all the people. The amounts of income earned by various individuals depend fully on the line of work they have taken on. More people are creating more work opportunities by day, in order to accommodate those that are jobless.
