    gotta find a new career

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
