There are basics for careers and job-seeking that I have commented on for some time. They include my comments on college attendance.
In short: You go to college if you’re a scholar. Otherwise it’s a waste of time and money.
Too many graduates find a college education does not qualify them for a decent job, so their career-path has to start from scratch once they’re out of school.
Where do they start? How do they begin a more practical plan? There are several options:
One: The best security option is a government job. Believe it or not, it will pay off in terms of better salary and better pension, despite the gibberish from politicians and unions. While not entirely in the public interest, governmental job sinecures will be for you, if that is what you want from a job career. And job demands may be the easiest, as the positions are often unionized; you will have a proverbial nanny in your corner at all times.
Two: The second option is a job in private enterprise. That requires lots of hustling, and resume usage, once you have a skill that employers want. And, of course, you know how to market your ability.
Three: Should the job be of an exotic or artistic nature or variety, you will have to fight steep odds for success, especially if you do not have family or related connections. I’m referring to being an actor or an artist.
Jobs which you may get as an intern may pay minimum wage forever. That is if you are lucky to land that position in the first place, or get recognition.
Four: Another option is to be an entrepreneur. That has its major risks. As I have pointed out in my work, I suggest every one be a part-time entrepreneur, starting as soon as possible.
Be careful; invest as little cash as possible to mitigate risk. That will prove a means of learning about business and possibly earning additional income, or possibly establishing a real business. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
