A few steps in the right direction

Right, now as you're reading this our government is working on the fine details of the "bailout plan". In theory, this large sum of money and a bulk sum of jobs is supposed to jump start the economy similar to when you use jumper cables to get a car with a dead battery running. This may help our situation. If you've kept up somewhat with what my blog is about then you would know that we have been talking about how hard it is to choose a career right now when the economy is in such a shit hole. And, face the facts in five years there may not be such a demand for PE teachers as there once was.
On the bright side, there are steps that you can follow to make sure that you are going to have a career that is going to be worth staying around for. First, research on the internet, this is definetly the easiest way that you can see what kind of need there is for the job you want right now. For example, just enter " need for architects" and a couple articles will pop up maybe even a few graphs.
Second, once you have a good idea of the prospective need for your career in the making, find out a accurate estimate of what kind of income that job is going to bring for you per year, then see how its going to change with the recession. ( there are a few calculators on the internet that will help you to do this.).
Third, and most important, look at what you really want to do. Make sure that the carreer your going into is not just something that is just OK. There are millions of jobs out there and with a little time and effort, a bit of elbow grease, you will find something that will not just make you happy. It will also be able to provide a good income for you, for years to come.
