Or Singapore Airlines? If so, how would they apply? Would they have to be in that airline their entire flying career to be able to fly a wide body such as a 747 or a380 for them? Also, what language would you have to speak if you worked for Singapore Airlines, or a foreign airline? Thanks!

Though the harsh winds of economic downturn may be blowing, there are a handful of careers that are slated to grow, prosper, and flourish in 2008.

Healthcare

The ever-growing need for healthcare professionals is only expected to increase, especially with aging baby boomers and the massive influx of immigrants America is currently experiencing (and will continue to). Jobs in all aspects of healthcare, such as nursing, imaging technology, and hospice will be available, many with rewarding benefits and handsome salaries.

The World Wide Web

The internet is becoming increasingly prevalent in the daily lives of America; from shopping to gaming to gathering information and gleaning resources, the convenience of the internet has enabled it to become fully integrated into nearly every aspect of our lives. As a result, jobs within the digitized world are mounting every single day, from web designers to graphic artists to programmers. A job within this sector will no doubt be around for years to come.

Globalization

As more and more corporations are globally expanding, the need for individuals well-versed in foreign cultures and languages has skyrocketed. Companies are willing to pay top dollar for business development employees willing to work overseas.

Emergency Planning

The expert consensus in America is that there will be another terrorist attack despite efforts to protect and safeguard. Careers in the antiterrorism sector have snowballed since the 9/11 attacks and more jobs are expected to be created, especially in the event of another attack. It is presumed that demand will particularly escalate in fields such as computer security and Middle East intelligence.

Environmentalism

The “green” and eco-friendly movement that is sweeping the nation is really only in its infancy. As global awareness spreads about the effect growing populations have on the environment, more and more jobs are being formed to combat global warming. These range from manufacturing green products to environmental positions within the government. There has been a particularly sharp increase in jobs available in alternative energy and the automobile industry, as hybrid cars become more popular and gas prices continue to soar.

CDL Driver Jobs

As the backbone of the American economy, truck drivers are privy to the rare and often unique circumstance of total job security. Consumer demand has not decreased in the slightest despite slow economic growth and truck drivers are still needed to deliver commodities. In fact, truck drivers deliver nearly everything that is consumed in this country. With an aging trucker demographic and increased demand, available CDL driver jobs will only continue to increase.

Sam Lucchese came to the United States from Italy in the late 1800’s and came with a dream to be make quality western cowboy boots. Through hard work and dedication Lucchese slowly started building one of the finest American western cowboy boot companies in US History. With help from his brothers Sam crated the Lucchese Boot Company in San Antonio Texas and for over 100 years and countless happy customers later Lucchese continues its tradition of crafting some oft the most artistic boots in the world.

Lucchese began his boot making career in America by making boots for the US Calvary men. He soon branded a recognized name for the comfort, quality and workmanship of his cowboy boots. Lucchese name gained popularity and soon he began making custom fit western boots for movie starts, kings and presidents. There are over 100 steps in the Lucchese boot making process. By going to the Lucchese boot factory in El Paso Texas you will see the continued tradition that has lead the western boot making industry for over 100 years.

Lucchese classics are made from some of the finest leathers on earth. Lucchese carefully picks each piece of leather in order to make beautifully crafted western cowboy boots. Lucchese cowboy boots can be made out of exotic leathers like alligator, caiman, kangaroo, ostrich, lizard, python shark and stingray. Special care is needed for exotic leathers like Lucchese alligator boots, and prices for Lucchese alligator boots is not cheap. But it is the quality and craftsmanship that can not be duplicated by owing a unique pair of Alligator boots made by Lucchese.

Lucchese invented a boot making standard known as “twisted cone last” which was a hallmark development. Through the “twisted cone last” Lucchese was able to make the fit of the boot more like a sock than a boot. Lucchese cowboy boots are made with artistic care and detailed craftsmanship that is unparallel in the western boot making industry. Lucchese classic boots carry a legacy carried still today which is unmatched. In the Lucchese factory, some machines are over 50 years old and producing western style boots like they have been for decades. There are over 100 designs to choose from when making a Lucchese western boot and some designs over 75 years old. Over 250 pairs of skilled artisan hands touch a Lucchese cowboy boot before it leaves the factory.

Lucchese boots are made by skilled artisans creating natural beauty and making illustrious and long lasting fitted products. Quality is the #1 priority and each boot is inspected to meet the highest level of standards in the boot making industry.

Donald Whitehead asked:


Take this career test- post that resume, pay this fee, need that degree, truth is your career is your life and without it you dwindle down into a far less lifestyle than you would care to admit to. A lifestyle generally much less than the peek through your imagination years before had led you to see, a much more acceptable, picture perfect dream of how you felt that it was going to be. New careers are everywhere all over the world and the true question really should be, if you look at it realistically, just what type of lifestyle are you looking to have since pay is truly going to be a deciding factor in your choice. Most just don’t do too well when they go out on their own and try to carve a piece of that All American Dream out for themselves.

If you’re not careful most of you will find yourselves  hopping from job to job for whatever reason throughout 1/2 of your adult lives definitely opting to settle for less pay than you know full well than that which you’re worth and there goes the lifestyle along with it following you year after year. A really good piece of career change advice! Plan! You and only you know what you want, and like. You say you like fast cars and fancy houses and expensive clothes etc. Three full time jobs at an average job just won’t do. You’ll always be living well beyond your means that way. So either you drop your toys or find a career job that can support that type of lifestyle.

Fact! Most everyone wants what America makes so easy for all who want it to have. A piece of the All American Dream, that being a big home, nice cars and trucks, boats, and the stress free life of an above average lifestyle with no worries. The heart breaking truth of it all is that it was never even out of their grasp to begin with. Coventional career training has too much stigma attached to it and society blows right past the obvious looking for what used to be old school.

There are bona fide career training facilities capable of preparing and cranking out accomplished students earning from a couple hundred dollars a day to literally thousands in mere days to several weeks of entering a very easy to learn extremely intensive curriculum designed for easy learning with all the tools and support to help in speed of grasping modern day concepts of earning huge amounts of cash without all the hype and waiting for career tests, waiting for resumes to be approved, paying absolutely outrageous unheard of fees, trying to qualify for degrees, etc.

New careers truly capable of helping you improve your current financial situation are a challenge to find but they do exist. A really good start to finding a company to build a career like this is to, listen very carefully, find one that SINCERELY WANT YOU TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL… how would you know? It’s in the plan, the reputation, the structure, proof of people that are actually changing their lives on a daily basis, track records, etc. Don’t get taken in by words that are appealing to you, it’s the very best way to get side tracked.

Great fortunes (money) Is not hard to earn. Sure there is work involved but ask yourself this. If you could pay a dedicated company a monthly fee that equaled, these days, a half a tank of gas, to put you on the road to earning more money than you have ever made to date and on into the future earning more money than any degree, years of college, the aggravation of useless running around putting in resumes  and taking tests and the list just goes on and on, than you have ever made or will make in your life then why wouldn’t you?

Old school has changed, and fact is it doesn’t take long months and years to learn how to make great, even unheard of money, heck you can do it even if you don’t have ANY money, and you can do it right from home, another plus! You don’t even have to get out of your pajamas, or start the car.

Andy Moquin asked:


The jewelry industry can provide exciting moments and lucrative pay. There are many fields to the business including design, goldsmith, gemologist, buyer, store manager, watchmaker, sales, and store ownership. Each has specific requirements in training and experience in order to succeed and become employable. With proper guidance and hard word work you can achieve any amount of success that you set your mind to. First, you must understand that there are many product types and you can spend a lifetime becoming an expert in one. Some of these product types include timepieces, polished diamonds, fashion jewelry, colored gemstones, bridal products, luxury items and many more. I recommend deciding which product intrigues you most and pursue a career in that product category. Choose the field that is most needed in that particular product category and then maintain a passion for what you are selling or creating, this is an important ingredient in a successful career.

Determine your Niche Field

As I said, each field has its benefits and you’ve got to determine which is going to be most beneficial to you and provide you with the lifestyle that you are looking for. Assess your skill sets and then try to match them up with the field that requires the most of what you possess. Read the chart below to identify the required skills for each career field:

Designer - Creativity, computer skills, basic jewelry making knowledge, fashion sense, math skills.

Goldsmith - Mechanical skills, hand-eye coordination, patience, detailed oriented, integrity, self-pride.

Gemologist - Math skills, organizational skills, integrity, quick learner, investigative, interest in gems.

Buyer - Eye for fashion, organizational skills, accounting skills, forecasting, management skills.

Store Manager - Sales skills, organizational skills, previous experience, effective at time management, integrity, customer service & relations, business management experience.

Watchmaker/horologist - Mechanical skills, hand-eye coordination, patience, detailed oriented, integrity, self-pride.

Salesperson - Sales skills, people skills, organizational skills, motivated, willingness to learn, knowledge of gems and goldsmithing.

Store Owner - Basic knowledge all of the above, investment capital.

Training and Education

As with any career choice, education and training is crucial to achieving success. The industry has several educational institutions that will prepare you by providing the proper knowledge of the business. I’ve always been a huge advocate of continuing education and even though I have 20 years experience in the jewelry business I’m still learning every day. I recommend a life-long effort in learning that not only includes industry specific information but also any business training and self-help that you can apply in your daily work. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) is a great resource for gemological training and is a must if you want to pursue the gemologist field. As a salesperson, the Accredited Jewelry Professional degree from GIA is a great start, especially if you don’t have experience. People trying to pursue a career in store management or ownership can take jewelry business management courses. Other training institutions worth mentioning are the American Gemological Society and Jewelers of America. Goldsmiths can also take jewelry making courses at GIA however there are much better schools for goldsmiths that you can attend. The most renowned jewelry making schools are The New Approach School for Jewelers and the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts. These schools have specialized training for people that want to become benchmen, diamond setters, and designers.

Designers can attend GIA or the Fashion Institute of Technology to receive an in-depth education on creating jewelry designs using traditional methods or new technology like CAD-CAM. You can get examples of how custom design is performed using CAD-CAM at design your engagement ring Watch makers are one the fastest growing opportunities in the luxury products field. Mechanical Swiss watch sales in the US have grown considerably over the last 5 years and a need for qualified people that can repair them has also grown. A great resource to learn the craft of watch making is the American Watchmakers-Clockmakers Institute.

Getting Your Foot in the Door

If you’ve had prior sales experience then you probably have a good chance at landing a sales position however, an AJP from GIA is a shoe in. As previously mentioned, integrity is of the utmost importance in the industry especially when considering the security issues surrounding high value items. When interviewing with potential employers you should be able to demonstrate a high level of integrity and honesty to the interviewer.

Completion of jewelry educational training is certainly a good way to find a job in the jewelry business however; you don’t necessarily need it to be guaranteed a job. Sometimes showing a sincere interest in a job and a willingness to start at the bottom and spend time learning can capture the interest of an employer. As a jeweler you’ll definitely need experience or training, however even with training you’ll still have to start at the bottom and work your way up. The best advice that I can give the goldsmith candidates is to never stop learning and always seek additional training. Additional training will make you invaluable and will help you earn higher pay scales.

Promote Your Craft

Once you’ve established yourself in the industry you should act as a responsible steward to the business. Treat your position and responsibilities with the utmost respect and integrity. A jewelry purchase can be an intimidating process for the average consumer and it is our responsibility as professionals to honor the customer’s needs and educated them in the best way we know how. You should also promote the business and encourage others to become involved in the industry. Finally, take the time to share your knowledge with others as this will further promote professionalism in our business.
