"Speech and debate skills- researching, giving a reasoned argument, communicating clearly with serve you professionally and socially for the rest of your life." If you are a quick thinker, persuasive arguer and like to speak publicly about things then these types of jobs are for you!
Government- Members of congress argue all the time... you can take your parliamentary debate skills into the thick of the action if citizens elect you.
Acting- Presenting yourself with confidence is a key must in acting especially in front of crowds! Even this guy who plays on Ugly Betty was a speech competition champ at his high school!
Sales- In sales persuasion is the number 1 key element of a sales person. Your speech background will help you pitch with confidence.
Broadcasting- Broadcasting journalists have a limited amount of time to tell a story to an unlimited audience, they need to be clear and concise also credible.
Law- Trail lawyers use well crafted arguments to make their case. Debate skills also help judges, mediators, and arbitrations understand both sides of a dispute and come up with a reasonable outcome.
counseling- This involves listening well and communicating well with the basic role of a good counselor.
Corporate trainer- When businesses need some one to help them train people how to use new software and how to generally do their jobs they call a trainer. Trainers need to be clear and to the point about what is needed to be done and what is expected.
Speech writing- You can write speeches for government and business officials, these people arrange facts and ideas into persuasive arguments and are inspirational.
Library- this is important to know how to tell a story to kids and what ever this one seemed lame to me no real librarian will take the time away from sorting books to read to kids or explain what the stories about. Maybe just be snooty about explaining how to find a specific book thats all!
Public relations- to be a public face for businesses, schools, a government, or another organization it takes speech savvy. But i think it would be hard having to deal with peoples back lash on you when it may not be your fault when your just the "face of the organization."
