gotta find a new career

**midnight777** · 07-13-2008, 04:29 PM

Well the job I have is with a major company. The pay is ok. It is a cake job, I have great benefits. The thing is I just barely make it by with all my bills, FOOD, SUPPLEMENTS, GAS, etc.. I have been there almost 4 years. I am looking at the money thing now, I am still somewhat young just turned 33. The thing is the job market is horrible right now. any suggestions.... also my major in college was communications with a minor in buisness.

I'd say you would only have 20 or so hours to a business major. Accounting and finance are fields with jobs still out there. Starting salary should be pretty close to 50k, plus 10-15% more for CPA certification.

If you can get into nursing school, you can pretty much count on always having a job.

I'm in accounting/Finance and I am thinking about a better job myself

Any suggestions I can give you there's probably a law against it.

bad time to be thinking about a career change.

Buy a tow truck and start your own repo business. You should have plenty of work in the next few years.

You're not lying, there's new towing companies cropping up like crabgrass in my town.

Tow them to Mexico and make a killing.....just joking.

Nursing is a good field, but burn out right now, because of being over worked, is 5 yrs.

Find something that deals with the growing number of elderly. I.E assissted living, home health businesses. Be patient with finance because the large number of population is going to start receiving large sums of money from wills and they will need advise on what to do with it.

well why dont you see what you like and what your good at.

the best is to ask freinds and families for hookups.

it is much harder to start from scratch.

Computer Science is solid. If you're willing to go back to school, chemical engineering is also a great field, but would definitely be intense schooling.

**warchild** · 07-15-2008, 05:47 PM

i hate school! i want to start my own bus, thats were its at guys

**smokeyd** · 07-15-2008, 06:25 PM

i agree starting your own business is were its at, i want to so bad!!! but just dont know what i want to do yet, need to set down and make a list of shit i like to do or have interests in

**warchild** · 07-15-2008, 06:56 PM

yea all it takes is a good idea. the tow truck ones cool, i met a guy who bought a big flat bed and contracted out and he made money

**DNoMac** · 07-15-2008, 08:11 PM

3 out of 5 businesses fail within the first year and a half. Not to discourage you, but it's not exactly easy, especially with the volatile economy.

**smokeyd** · 07-15-2008, 08:22 PM

im suprised more than that dont fail lol
mine isnt going to be anything i can jump head first into i will prob have to have a normal job to pay the bills till it takes off good, i dont have cash setting around to live off while i dont make a dime at a business venture lol
