There will be plenty of people who will try to discourage you. These people are (a) cowards, (b) jealous, (c) negative by nature or (d) all of the above. We have a saying where I come from.

What if they never made it in the NFL? Possible careers for some Bears
2010-02-26 05:13:00 It's been a while since I've posted. This offseason really has me down. From the lack of a regime change to the lack of top draft picks, it's hard to get excited about the Bears' chances for next season. But never fear, Bears fans, I've got a little pick-me-up for ya. I came across this picture of Devin Hester in full fire fighter gear while he was at the Florida State Fire College while his brother took the fire fighters test (he passed). I could see Devin Hester as a firefighter. He could dodge all of the flames and be out of a burning building without a scratch.Seeing that, it got me to thinking (and scary things happen when that...
Switching Careers: From Business to Teaching
2010-02-21 21:59:00 Many of my friends are teaching one or two college courses, and a few have moved into full-time faculty positions. One friend gave up his long, unsuccessful search for a PR position in order to return to college for a year to get a teaching certificate. He's now an elementary school teacher and happy with his personally rewarding career choice. In each instance, these friends have had a variety of reasons for their decisions. Some simply are in the "give-back" mode of their careers. Several haven't had success in finding appropriate-level position-s in their fields. A couple have always wanted to be teachers but got onto other career paths due to opportunities that seemed more appealing (and profitable) at the time they were starting out.

Freelance Careers: Growing Independence
2009-11-27 13:34:00 Several friends this year have left corporate America--some forced out by economic conditions and others by their own choice. Most are focused on returning to corporate positions, but a few have boldly decided to hang up their own shingles as freelancers and independent contract employees. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that freelance careers will grow faster than traditional jobs, and other experts also see significant increases as more and more people look inward for their next opportunities. Sue Shellenbarger's Work & Family column in the Wall Street Journal details the growing ranks of freelance opportunities as companies realize they can can cut costs by tapping independent contractors. Still, the odds of landing such jobs range from about 25-to1 to 300-to-1. ...

Careers For Yummy Mummies: ConnectMoms Acknowledges The Business Of Women
2009-05-15 12:00:00 Today, I'd like to think that women aren't held back career-wise because of their decisions to have families; but it remains a hard reality that women who are pregnant or have young children are looked at in a different, not so positive light when they apply to jobs, or when being considered for a promotion in the corporations where they work. Yummy Mummy Careers, is an employment agency that understands that even hard-working women have the right to make their families a priority, and finds them jobs and careers that also abide by this mentality.

Look beyond martyrdom, says Al-Qaeda careers advice head
2009-02-25 10:40:00 Newsbuiscuit says,'Radical Muslim youths across the world are dreaming first and last about careers as martyrs, despite falling demand and the wealth of opportunities in other fields according to Samir Al-Mady, head of the Al-Qaeda Careers Advice Board. Al-Mady revealed that in the board?s annual survey of radicalized 15 and 16-year-olds, ?Martyr/Suicide Bomber? was the favourite career choice for the 28th consecutive year.

Whilst we will always treasure the blood of our glorious martyrs, peace be upon them, we are in desperate need of young men in other areas of our organization ? fund raisers, offic...

Two Careers...
2008-05-27 12:22:00 I'm celebrating and commiserating with some married friends of mine - celebrating because one of them has just been offered a career opportunity of a lifetime, commiserating because it's in a city that is more than half-way across the country from where the other half of the couple works. I've been there before, having spent most of the first five years with my husband without him - living and working on different continents, often more than a 12-hour flight apart. At that time, we didn't know anyone who was successfully balancing two careers across two cities, never mind across international borders. While it's now becoming more commonplace, it's no less of a challenge. Here's some of what we learned over the years:- Only you and your partner will know what you want from your careers and your relationship. There will be a lot of noise around you - your family, your friends, your colleagues, the media - all telling you what a good relationship or a successful career looks lik...
