11 Great Jobs for Working Parents

Event Planner

Average Annual Salary: $55,299
Education: Likely requires a bachelor's degree

Ever hosted a childrens' birthday party? Booking the restaurant, planning the menu, putting together the gift bags and making sure the entertainment shows up is no easy task. But if you're the type of person who excels in a fast-paced, detail-oriented atmosphere, then event planning could be the career for you.

Just as it is with parenting, you'll have to coordinate everything seamlessly and be able to think on your feet to make sure any problems that do arise are taken care of quickly. If you're a born networker who can maintain multiple relationships with vendors and routinely pull off gatherings without a hitch, this is a great job for you.
