Mothers: Are You Letting Education Pass You By?

The economy may be in a slump, but its still smart to invest in your future

. This is sage advice for mothers in particular. The job sectors that are expected to rise will have many positions available that qualified workers can fill.

Jobs in many technology-related areas will be in high demand for years. Many of our everyday functions depend on smart, fast technology. There are sizable teams that are needed to produce these tools as well as people to provide assistance in using them. In the next five years, the field of computer software engineering is expected to grow significantly. Analysts and administrators for IT are just a couple of the areas that are expected to grow.

Health and medicine is another job area that is always in high demand. The careers in healthcare are much more varied than the traditional jobs with which people are familiar. Physical therapists and their assistants will be in high demand as well as occupational therapists and athletic trainers. Mental health counselors are also expected to be in increased demand. Many healthcare jobs require advanced education, but there are many opportunities available for careers that don't.

Although the job outlook appears dark now, there is still reason to be optimistic. Jobs for qualified financial planners and advisors for businesses, government and individuals will likely be significant. There is at least one similarity among all this professions: education. Moms are often hardest hit by a poor economy. Luckily there are programs targeted specifically toward them. In 2009, President Obama introduced the Grants for Moms initiative. By making it easier to get as much as $5,000 for their education, the administration is trying to encourage eager women to go back to school or even to go for the first time. Hopefully more mothers can earn the bachelors, associates and specialized degrees that are needed to fill important positions in the work force.

Obama grants make it easier for mothers to get the education they need to care for their children. Big universities as well as 2-year junior colleges can provide plenty of opportunity for education and career advancement. If you're seeking an education then don't give up. There are many avenues for you to explore.
