    It was long feared that the aging of the baby boomer generation would bring about a healthcare crisis in the United States, and our nation’s politicians have planned accordingly.

  • Executive MBA Programs Gaining in Popularity
    Executive MBA programs have long been viewed as a lightweight alternative to full time university MBA programs, and with good reason. The earliest incarnations of the executive MBA were nothing more than employer training programs with a minimum amount of academic enrichment thrown in for good measure. As the number of respected colleges and universities that offer executive MBA programs in conjunction with corporations expanded, however, the distinction between viable educational opportunities and corporate degree mills has become increasingly apparent.

  • Homeland Security Means Big Business for Many Graduates
    The term "Homeland Security" has become a part of our collective vocabulary, thanks in large part to media coverage of government policies related to terrorist threats that endanger our nation.

Many colleges and universities now offer homeland security degree programs in combination with, or in replacement of, traditional criminal justice degree programs.
  • A Changing of the Guard in Automotive Repair
    As someone who has always purchased used, low mileage cars in an attempt to offset the expense of driving a new car off the dealer lot, I've had my share of repair issues over the years. Luckily, I've also had the same reliable mechanic for the better part of two decades. No matter what car I owned or in some cases wished I didn't own, he has been able to find the source of the problem, fix it, and get me on my way.
  • The Benefits and Detriments to Earning a Doctorate Degree
    There is no question that earning a doctorate degree creates more career opportunities both in terms of salary eligibility and type of employment. Unfortunately, these opportunities come at the price of many years of foregone labor market earnings.

    In uncertain economic times, there a few things that will always remain constant. One of the constants, without question, is a person's need to eat. Surprisingly, even fine dining establishments do well in both inclement and prosperous times, rarely feeling the crunch of economic uncertainty. This affects not only their availability for patrons, but for employees as well.
  • E-learning Technology Expands U.S. Enrollment
    New technology has allowed educational institutions to take the distance out of distance learning, which has made online degree programs more popular than ever.

The report indicates that online enrollment in the US increased from 1.98m in 2003 to 2.35m a year later, a growth rate more than 10 times that predicted by the National Center for Education Statistics for the general post-secondary student population.
  • The Benefits of an MBA Go Far Beyond Your Resume
    Many in the business world associate an MBA with reaching the pinnacle of success while others view it as more of a requirement to be taken seriously in the employment market of the business world. While both viewpoints certainly have their merits, neither encapsulates the true purpose of earning a Master's in Business Administration degree.
  • Online Education A Better Option for Businesses Than In-House Executive MBA Programs
    Many businesses related companies offer executive MBA programs for their senior executives through an affiliation with a traditional university. While these programs are aimed at those who do not wish to take a break from their careers and enroll full time, they are certainly not exclusive in their purpose. With the popularity of online MBA programs on the rise, it seems only a matter of time before E-MBA programs will see a decline in number.
  • The Basics of Reverse Mortgages
    Reverse mortgages are loans against your home that require no repayment for as long as you live there.

  • Career Building for Auto Mechanics
    Auto mechanics entering the industry today face a wide range of challenges that supercede even the most technologically advanced fields, such as information technology and health care. Keeping pace with the constant myriad of changes that govern automobile mechanics lead many to consider other career options.

  • Consult Your Certified Mechanic When Purchasing Used Car
    A select few people (mostly automotive dealership owners or relatives of automotive dealership owners) tend to view the auto sales industry as nothing more than a legitimate business within a community while others tend to have a less than flattering opinion. Car dealers are not particularly well liked by many, and the reputation of the industry has suffered accordingly. Because many feel that they have received the short end of the stick on an automotive purchase, consumer awareness regarding unscrupulous advertising and sales methods has risen.
  • Auto Mechanic an Excellent Career Choice
    The image of an auto mechanic was once associated with menial labor and low pay. Fortunately, those days have long ago subsided.

The sheer number of advances in the automotive industry over the last several years mirrors those of the information technology industry.
  • Automotive Technical Schools Keeping Up With the Times
    Recent and proposed changes in emissions laws as they pertain to newly manufactured automobiles has prompted the auto industry to rethink it's focus on fuel economy. Though manufacturers have reacted to legislative changes by developing and promoting hybrid and fuel cell powered vehicles, very few car owners have made the switch. The expense of research and development in addition to revised manufacturing platforms has put environmentally friendly vehicles out of reach for the average consumer. Still, the writing is on the wall in terms of the automotive industries future regarding reduced emissions.

  • Identity Theft Surge Likely to Create Multiple Employment Opportunities in IT Security
    A recent survey conducted by the United States Department of Justice indicates that identity theft is indeed on the rise. Affecting millions of households in the U.S each year, identity theft costs have now soared well above $6 billion per year. The study confirms that roughly three percent of all U.S. households experienced some sort of ID theft during the first half of the calendar year 2004. While this particular method of illegally obtaining personal information for the purpose of financial gain only accounts for a percentage of the total losses resulting from identity theft, it represents an undermining of the online banking systems that many financial institutions have undertaken great expense to implement.
  • Educational Changes in the Field of Information Technology
    As the information technology industry has grown, so have the related educational opportunities. Educational curriculum isn't always the best gauge of industry changes within a particular field, although the rules which make that fact a plainly evident reality for most industries rarely apply in the modern world of information technology. In fact, unlike disciplines such as medicine, the very nature of the current IT industry promotes the idea that advancements in technology are only truly valid and successful when they are recognized and widely accepted by all.
  • Advancements in Information Technology Lead to Job Growth
    The Information Technology (IT) industry is well known for experiencing growing pains related to the technological advancements that are the foundation of the field itself.

This newfound emphasis on specialization has led to the creation of new positions within the IT field with expansion resulting in job diversification.
  • Health Care Education in the 21st Century
    The health care industry and the Internet have always made uneasy bedfellows, although the relationship has improved dramatically in recent years. Initially, when the Internet was less regulated, health care professionals were crying foul at the proliferation of unlicensed pharmacies and unlicensed practitioners doing business via the World Wide Web. While those complaints have subsided coinciding with a new set of laws for e-commerce, many health care professionals are still wary of the influence of the Internet on the industry as a whole.
  • Homeland Security Creates New Job Openings
    The establishment of the Department of Homeland Security has been a great stride toward improving the overall safety and security of the United States.

    Newly created positions exist within the Department of Homeland Security itself while others have been created from the various agencies which the Department oversees.
  • Aging Baby Boomers Create Jobs in Health Care
    Over 75 million Americans comprise the baby boomer generation, and many have reached an age where health care is starting to become a major concern. Baby boomers are generally recognized as the generation born between 1946 and 1964, although many who were born a few years before or after associate themselves with the name. The baby boomers represent a post World War II population explosion and their inevitable aging has made the world statistically older than ever.

  • Nursing Does More Than Pay the Bills
    I initially chose my career in nursing for financial reasons. One of my friends had become a registered nurse and was making a very comfortable living. When we would get together, I would often ask her questions about the time commitment involved with becoming an RN and what she liked and disliked about the job. Being a close friend, she tried her best to paint an accurate picture for me of what her daily work was all about and certainly didn't sugarcoat her position. While I was interested in what she had to say, I was much more interested in finding a way to quickly raise my earning potential.
