Are you a Cancer sign?
Cancer, also known as “the Crab” of the zodiac, is the sun sign for people born between Jun 21 to July 22. As a water sign, Cancers are known for having emotions that run deep…even if they always do their best to show off a tough exterior.
Gruff but highly empathetic, crabs tend to surprise people with their caring gestures. With that said, they are often organized, no-nonsense individuals that have a practical streak. They’re also extremely passionate, even if it may not seem that way at face value.
Aside from their big hearts, Cancer signs tend to be deeply creative and intellectual people. They’re the type of people to be drawn to schooling, even when they don’t come from families that praise educational attainment.
These crabs can be prone to being loners. In terms of s
What are the best jobs for Cancer signs?
Let the woo-woo begin!
#1: Doctors + Nurses
Ooh, there are few careers that seem to be made for a star sign, but the match between medicine and Cancers seems to be made in heaven. Cancers have the level head, the calm demeanor, and the empathy to become great medical professionals.
If you are a Cancer sign who wants to make a difference, then you might want to study up for a medical career. It’s lucrative, but a lot of people face burnout due to the secondhand trauma they experience. Cancer signs are tough enough to handle it but kind enough to be just what the doctor ordered.
Medical fields vary greatly in salaries, with most doctors earning well over $150,000 per year.
#2: Nutritionist
If you are a fan of food and a fan of helping others heal, you might not be a doctor, per se. You might be better off being a nutritionist. This is one of the best jobs for Cancer signs because it blends your desire to make the world a better place with a creative flair.
Nutritionists blend food and meal planning with healing. They help people lose weight, develop a better relationship with food, and improve peoples’ wellbeing through food. It’s more low-stress than a typical medicine career, which makes it something everyone can really sink their teeth into.
The average salary for a nutritionist (according to Indeed) is $58,445. On the high end, you can earn over $100,000. The bottom tier of nutritionists make around $30,000 to $40,000 per year.
#3: Veterinarian
While they may not always show it right off the bat, Cancer signs are famous for their big hearts. With that said, they aren’t always good with people. Sometimes, they’re more about animals than they are about humans.
Veterinarians are often water signs due to their high levels patience required for the job. It’s one of the top career choices for Cancer signs who prefer to have a lot of fur (or feathers, or scales) around them.
With that said, it can be an emotionally and intellectually taxing job. Cancers have what it takes, but it’s up to you to make that choice.
The average salary of a nutritionist (according to Indeed) is approximately $128,000. On the low end, new vets earn around $82,000. On the high end, they can earn as much as $198,000 or more.
#4: Architect
Wait? An architect? Really?! Believe it or not, Cancer signs tend to be great at creative fields that require a little bit of math and science knowledge. Though Cancers are mostly known for their big hearts, they are also noted for being fans of creative work in a quiet setting.
Being an architect is a great career choice for Cancer signs that want to show off their creative flair. Architects are the people who design houses, though they can also be called upon for remodeling projects too.
Architects earn $109,000 per year on average, with top earners often raking in $185,000 or more. Of course, if you become a celebrity architect, the sky’s the limit.
#5: Social Worker
For water signs, much of the success they get is because they use their caring nature as a way to create income. Cancer signs are no exception to this rule. They’re deeply caring, but remember…they have a level of toughness that you might not see in other signs.
Cancers, in particular, tend to be the people who like to stick up for those who don’t have a voice of their own. Social workers are the superheroes who help kids get out of abusive, neglectful households. They’re the people who connect abused spouses and addicts with resources to help them.
In a word? They’re tough as nails but have hearts of gold.
Unfortunately, social workers do not make much money compared to others on this list. The average social worker makes $68,555 nationally according to Indeed.
#6: HR Executive
Cancer signs have a tendency of being uniquely talented at keeping a level head when chaos ensues. Between their calm demeanors and their ability to empathize, they tend to be smart choices for almost anything involving Human Resources.
Their high level of empathy means they “get” people in a way that other signs don’t. But, unlike Pisceans, they don’t break down or bend over backward for people. They can use their understanding of people to be a great asset in HR.
If you’re a corporate Cancer, then being an HR executive might be the best job for you. Some might also do well as recruiters, though that tends to be a bit too salesy for more crabs to desire.
HR executives generally make between $60,000 and $110,000 a year. The average, according to Indeed, is $84,265 per year.
#7: Children’s Caretaker
Being a babysitter, a caretaker, or even just a mother’s helper often requires a certain type of personality. Cancer signs tend to be very loving people, which makes them a shoe-in for most caretaking jobs.
However, this is one star sign that won’t allow kids to walk all over them. They might not like to do it, but they can still lay down the law and command respect from children. (You can thank that hard “shell” exterior for that!)
Children’s caretakers can make a wide range of salaries depending on the family or company they work for. Many will earn at least $25 to $30 per hour..
#8: Interior Designer
Not every single Cancer will have a college degree, so I felt it’s important to have at least two jobs that are also appropriate for dropouts. Technically, interior designers fit that bill. You often only need an apprenticeship for this!
Interior designers are the people you hire when you want your home to look super-stlish. They are naturally creative, elegant, and empathetic people who know how important a home is to its owners.
If you’re a particularly creative Cancer (or just a Cancer witha lot of other water signs in your chart), this is one job that will satisfy your creative itch.
Indeed notes that interior designers make between $42,954 and $113,768 nationally. It’s important to note that many interior designers only work part-time a sa resut of how competitive it can be. It can take years to get enough clients for this to be a full-time job!
#9: Psychic
Yes! It’s true. Cancer signs are noted for being more likely to be psychic than most other signs. It’s a water sign thing. As a professional tarot card reader (you can actually book me here, if you want), I can tell you that it takes a lot of intuition and empathy to be a psychic.
Psychics work part-time most of the time, primarily due to emotional burnout they may feel after particularly difficult readings. They often use their abilities to offer comfort, spiritual guidance, and care to their clients.
With this career, studying specific types of psychic crafts can take years to do. But, the payoff tends to be an incredibly loyal following.
Psychics generally make at least $40 per hour, but it all depends on your skill level and what you feel comfortable charging.
So, how did I do?
