subject: Prepare For Your Future Career: Scholarships For Moms [print this page] The job market and economy are sharply down, but the number of people going to school is strong. This is sage advice for mothers in particular. It's important not to pass up educational opportunities like grants. They could be the first step to becoming part of a popular industry.
Technology will continue to be a vital industry. For work and play most people use several forms of sophisticated technology. There are sizable teams that are needed to produce these tools as well as people to provide assistance in using them. According to some estimates, there will be increased demand for computer software engineers. Analysts for computers and communications systems will also be in demand.
Another area where there is anticipated job growth is healthcare. If being a doctor or nurse doesnt appeal to you, there are many other medical fields to consider. Athletic trainers, physical therapists and occupational therapists provide vital support for patients and will be very much needed. Some analysts also think behavioral disorder counselors will be highly sought. There are several other fields besides counseling that don't necessarily require a medical degree to practice.
Job growth and opportunity is lagging now, but expectations for the future are high. Financial planners and advisors, computer analysts and a number of other professions are important now and will continue to be so in the future. Education is the key to getting a job in any of these areas. There are many programs available for people willing to learn, especially for moms. The recent Grants for Moms initiative was started by President Obama and his administration. The $5,000 allotment can be a big help in paying for a number of school-related costs. 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. There interesting majors and topics of study at quality schools around the country. For moms out there who are searching, there are many good opportunities for you.
