Getting It Right - A Career Guide for Graduating Seniors

Choosing the correct career path is a critical life decision.

This column presents a conservative viewpoint about items of interest in our community and our lives. Focus is on items impacting your pocket book, your personal freedoms, and your rights. I hope you will read the column regularly and it occasionally influences your opinions and actions. Now, on to the subject of the week:
"Helping graduates choose the correct field of study is important."
Spring is about to spring upon us. This means we are only a few weeks away from hatching this year’s crop of graduating seniors. As responsible adults who have experienced the hardships, inequities, and unfairness which life often hands us, we have a moral responsibility to help these fledgling graduates choose a career field which will maximize their life pleasures, provide the greatest job security, assure a fruitful end of career retirement, and will yield good earnings and general benefits. Making the correct choice at this juncture can mean the difference between a life of "wine and roses" and a life full of "trials and tribulations".
First, let us begin with jobs and career fields which should be avoided at all costs. Working in these occupations during the coming decades will surely lead to misery and despair. These "careers to avoid" include:
● Business Management/ Business Administration…. In the coming decades there will be no need for business managers. All business decisions will be made by some government bureaucracy and then sent via mandate to all businesses which are involved. The title Business Manager will become an oxymoron.
● Industrial Engineering…. This once needed field of engineering is now nearing obsolescence since within the United States there is almost no industry left.
● Textile Engineering – Automotive Design and Engineering- Apparel Engineering- Ceramic Engineering – Mines Engineering – Petroleum Engineering – Geology – Electrical Engineering – Mechanical Engineering – Physics – Chemical Engineering – Aeronautical Engineering…All of these engineering sciences will be unnecessary since all industry will be traded away from the United States, or will be illegal due to environmental regulations.
● Accounting – Will be a useless skill since no business other than government will exist, and everyone will be cheating on their taxes and will not want an accountant to see the form.
● Teaching – You will not want to go into this field since every subject, every lesson, every discussion, and all procedures will be dictated by the Federal Government.
● Medicine – You will not want to even think about becoming a nurse or a doctor. Under socialized medicine the government will be telling all professionals who they can treat, what treatments are allowed, how to conduct every procedure, they will be forced to encourage and perform abortions and all charges and fees will be carefully monitored and regulated.
● Newspapers and Media…This will be a closely regulated, over taxed, over controlled business where the government will have to approve anything before it can be printed or broadcast.
● Small Business – Your business will be over regulated and over taxed to the point where it is not worth the effort to try to be in business for yourself.
● Banking/Finance….These occupations will be meaningless, quasi-government jobs.
● Stock Brokers……..There may not be a stock market.
However, there are some areas of study and starting a career which will become the professions of choice. These will include:
● Lawyer….You think there are too many lawyers now? Just wait; they will be needed in order to enforce the millions of new laws and regulations which are yet to be created by our new socialistic order. Instead of living in a "sue me" society as we do today, it will become a "sue me, I’ll sue you, you re-sue me, and I’ll re-sue you" society. Also, since government positions are largely filled by lawyers, the tremendous future growth of government jobs will create a demand for hundreds of thousands of new lawyers.
● Government Administration….The hundreds of new agencies and levels of bureaucracy which will be created will simultaneously create a need for thousands and thousands of government administrators.
● City Planner/ County-City Manager…. There will be high demand for these skills.
● Architecture….The countless number of new government buildings which will be required to house all of these new "crats" will create a booming business for architects and government construction contractors. Of course they will need to specialize in government buildings.
● Civil Engineering….One of the few engineering fields of study which will continue to be much needed is road and bridge design and construction. Many, many lucrative government contracts will be granted in this field of endeavor.
● ACORN Community Organizer….You should certainly seek out studies to qualify for this wonderful type of job. The experience gained here will quickly qualify you to be President of the USA!
Rudiments: Odds and Ends Worth Mentioning-
● Speaking of the ACORN Organization, I noticed they are slated to get $7,000,000 in stimulus funding to help them solicit voter registrations in the ghettos. Now, isn’t that a good job producing expenditure!
● Over and over, promises have been made which state our new government will tax the devil out of the rich making over $250,000 per year, but the other 95% (the poor people) will get tax reductions. First, most of this 95% aren’t paying taxes anyway. However, the new plans provide for a huge new tax on the utility companies because they are burning coal. Now, who do you suppose will end up paying that new tax? Watch your utility bills to see the answer. Also, they plan to impose a new ten cents per gallon gasoline tax. They are even considering a new tax based on miles driven. Who does that impact the most….the rich?
● Also, those plastic bags the grocery store puts your groceries into will soon cost you ten cents each when you check out, due to a new environmental tax.
● Add to all of these costs the $ .40 cents per gallon Governor Crist wants to add to make gasoline wholesalers in Florida meet the California gas emissions standards and you have another huge tax increase for the struggling masses (Us!). It appears to me that we now need to push back some of this environmental, Goreism Global Warming Fear Mongering "Green", bull crap….and begin worrying about the survival of our society. If they will do this, then they will be a little closer to "Getting It Right".
