I’ve been struck in the last few days by the imbalances in the our economy. Now when people can buy a beautiful retirement house for a song, they don’t have any extra money. The deals on cars are getting better every day and more recently I’ve heard vacation package rates are falling like December snow. I keep thinking about how I can come up with enough money to buy a vacation house in Florida or Puerto Rico, because I know in a few years they’ll be out of reach again.
The good news is, some areas of the economy are very healthy, like healthcare for example. I don’t mean insurance. I mean nurses, lab techs and hospital staff. Accountants and financial analysts are also seeing boom times. And believe it or not, education is booming because in a recession, folks feel the need to retrain. But what if you don’t want to be a nurse and don’t have the time to learn accounting or finance? What about something practical, like becoming a plumber? I haven’t taken the course myself, but John White’s Guide To Passing The Plumbing Exam promises you will pass the license exam if you download and study his course. You can also buy the book, but it’s more expensive and you have to wait for shipping.
If you download the e-book on your computer, you can have it immediately and can start training for your new career. Personally, I think it could be a good move, because more people are having to keep their homes. If they want a change, they will have to remodel. That creates a big demand for plumbers in repair as well as remodeling.
In future posts we’ll look at other practical jobs for the new, smaller economy, so stay tuned.
