"The time for hesitation is through", Jim Morrison

The quote that used was for the title of this weeks blog is right on point. For this week, we have been instructed to begin the directions to "take action" as it were on the subject or problem that we've been writing about for the past semester. If you have been keeping up or your a first time reader then it should not be too hard to find out that my subject has been: the future, and the years after you graduate when you're attemting to find a job. Will the carreer that you've been studying for be needed in 10 years? Or will if have become a dead industry? How much will you be making? These are questions that should be very important when deciding what you want to major in. To help you find this information and give a little bump in the right direction, I have found a couple resources. First, I give you salary.com this website is very easy to navigate and should be benificial, it gives you projected salaries and degrees which are most commonly achieved by that career. Next, I have this article (click to link), which was written by forbes and lists thirty or so jobs that may intrest you. Please leave a comment with your thoughts and results from the website THANKS!!!!!!!

R-R-Recap

The overall theme which I have been writing about is: now and later. Meaning that right now we are in College and making crucial decisions that are going to effect the rest of our life. Including which field we are studying and what profession we will be in. The classes that we are in are setting us up for a job or set of jobs that are going to allow us to either have the freedom we desire or, pin us down for eterinity. By saying later, this is talking about the future and, how the decisions that we are making right now will effect us later on in life. To assist you and help you find out what classes you should be taking to get into the right career, you have the internet. This tool will not only allow you find what type of job will be "needed" in the next few years but, it will also help to show you what kind of salary you can expect. Even after this country hits rock bottom. There will be a very abundant need for a lot of occupations. So start now! Think about what you truley want to do with your life then decide if that job will be able to provide for you or maybe even your family. In truth, there is more weight on us as students right now then there has ever been before. We not only need to make choices about our future. We also must anticipate the upcoming changes in the economy and job market. This is a diffucult task it does not matter who you are. So think, meditate, do yoga what ever helps you to center your Chi and get a answer for yourself.
