11 Dec 09 Four Of The Most In Demand Career Paths
When you’re picking a career path, it’s a good idea to pick a career that has plenty of relevance. A relevant career is one that is growing, with huge potential to remain relevant for a prolonged period of time. That means a career that adapts to modern technology, and one where workers are in high demand. Here is a quick list of some of the more in demand careers today:
-Computer Software Engineer. Anything with computers is usually a good way to go, and software engineers are in high demand. A software engineer works with a corporation’s current operating system, and retools the system to best serve the business. Software engineers are paid well, and are likely to be in high demand for a long, long time, as computers have become integral to any business.
-Physician’s Assistant is another career path that’s in high demand. Most medical fields are understaffed, leaving great opportunities to find a job, and advance. A Physician’s Assistant is one of the most in demand careers that provides a good salary, and doesn’t require as much education. To become a PA you’d need a bachelor’s degree, as well as degree from an accredited Physician’s Assistant program.
-Network Systems Analyst is another one of those great computer careers that’s on the rise, and doesn’t appear to be going anywhere soon. A network systems analyst is responsible for establishing email, phone, and data communication for a business. You’ll need a computer specific bachelor’s degree, and up to date computer certifications.
-Physical/Occupational Therapists are always in high demand. A physical therapist helps someone recover from an injury, or a disease. A physical therapist is responsible for helping someone recover to full physical health after an injury. Occupational therapists assist those with handicaps, and help them develop the physical skills necessary to work around their handicap. Both are well paying careers, but you’ll need a master’s degree to enter the upper echelon of the field.

07 May 09 Writing When You Can’t
There are times in the life of every writer when he or she doesn’t feel like writing. All the possible subjects seem to have written about, and if after much struggle a subject comes to you, the first line of the article, blog post or essay wouldn’t come. This happens to all of us and happens quite often if you are a daily blogger or a free lance writer. We call it writer’s block. We all suffer at its hand but the good news is that there is a way out of it. We can save ourselves. You do not need to remain stuck in there. This post will tell you how.
Let’s face it. You got stuck here because over the days, months or years, you have become stale. You are out of new ideas and this happened because you have closed the door on incoming new ideas. You stopped reading. The lesser you read the quicker you run out of ideas and it happened to you. Writing took more time than its fair share can permit and thus the time you devoted for reading shrank. Well, by reading I do not strictly mean, reading books. Reading journals, magazines, blogs, newspaper reading and participating in forums and newsgroup etc. also qualifies.
As Stephen R. Covey would put it, it is about maintaining “P/PC Balance,” where P stands for production and PC stands for production capability. Let’s understand it in a bit detail. If you are focused solely on the P part of the equation then you are focusing on getting the proverbial golden egg while neglecting the PC part of the equation. By ignoring the PC for prolonged period of time you are killing the proverbial goose that laid golden eggs for you. It is necessary for us to keep on investing in increasing our PC.
On the other hand, if you are more focused solely on the PC part of the equation then all you are doing is enhancing your ability to work, and not doing the actual work; that is to say, you got all the goose you require but not getting them lay golden eggs for you. P/PC Balance is the key. However, you should not strive to achieve a perfect P/PC balance but moving towards perfection hasn’t hurt anyone.
One strategy to save oneself from this writer’s block could be to maintain an idea-book. You can keep a small notebook with you in which you should jot down all the small and big writing ideas that come to you during the course of the day. The list thus prepared will be your savior in the time of need.
Confession time: I decided to write this post when I myself got stuck. For more than a day I found myself confronted with this damn thing, writer’s block. It immobilized me. I did not know what to do and what to write on, and then I thought why not to write on this only, on how to write when you cannot write. This post opened up many new avenues for me and I am again full of ideas. I am out of my writer’s block, are you?
