List of Occupations by RIASEC Interest Area 
              The occupations listed in Step 3 of the RIASEC Inventory represent only a small sampling of the 
              possible job titles that can be linked to career interests. What follows is a more comprehensive list of 
              occupations grouped by their primary interest area (RIASEC code), taken from the Department of 
              Labor’s O*NET database. Be aware that many of these occupations appeal almost equally to more 
              than one interest area or personality type. Be sure to consider your top two or three interest areas 
              when considering and researching potential occupations.
