Although there have been a lot of arguments for and against it, homeschooling in the

U.S has become a multi-million dollar industry, and it is growing bigger and bigger There are now plenty of websites, support groups, and conventions that help parents protect their rights and enable them to learn more about educating their children Though once it was the only choice for troubled children, homeschooling today is an accepted alternative to an educational system that many believe is failing

Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done with care View a career as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply

Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision

You may want to begin by assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses

Think about the classes, hobbies, and surroundings that you find most appealing Ask yourself questions, such as “Would you like to travel ? Do you want to work with children ? Are you more suited to solitary or cooperative work ?” There are no right or wrong answers ; only you know what is important to you Determine which job features you require, which ones you would prefer, and which ones you cannot accept

Then rank them in order of importance to you

The setting of the job is one factor to take into account You may not want to sit at a desk all day If not, there are diversity occupation – building inspector, supervisor, real estate agent – that involve a great deal of time away from the office Geographical location may be a concern, and employment in some fields is

concentrated in certain regions Advertising job can generally be found only in large cities On the other hand, many industries such as hospitality, law education, and retail sales are found in all regions of the country.If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages Many jobs, such as insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries; however, pay substantially increases along with your experience, additional training, promotions and commission

Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it Some industries evoke positive or negative associations The traveling life of a flight attendant appears

glamorous, while that of a plumber does not Remember that many jobs are not what

they appear to be at first, and may have merits or demerits that are less obvious Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without sleeps, whereas plumbers can be as highly paid as some doctors Another point to consider is that as you get mature, you will likely to develop new interests and skills that may point the way to new opportunities The choice you make today need not be your final one
