subject: Helping Moms Go Back to School: Obama Scholarships [print this page] There is no wrong time to prepare for your future. In fact now may be the perfect time to work on your education and other career goals. 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. There are plenty of careers that will open up in the technology sector. Many of our everyday functions depend on smart, fast technology. It takes many people to develop these products as well as to help people use them. Computer software engineering and related fields will be increasingly needed. Analysts for network systems and data communications are also expected to be important careers. A second area where analysts believe jobs will open up is health and medicine. In healthcare there is plenty of variety and opportunity. Hospitals and clinics will be seeking therapists and assistants as well as athletic trainers. It may be an unexpected projection, but veterinary medicine may also be in high demand. There are many fields that don't require a medical degree but rather specialized training are specific coursework. Preparing for the future job market definitely takes some patience and optimism. Jobs for qualified financial planners and advisors for businesses, government and individuals will likely be significant. Having the right education will be crucial for landing a job in these areas. If you're a mother, you may think your chance has passed but there are programs tailored just for you. 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 bachelor's, associate's and specialized degrees that are needed to fill important positions in the work force. Women have plenty of responsibility for caring for children and families, and hopefully the grants for moms can take some of the burden off trying to get an education. Big universities as well as 2-year junior colleges can provide plenty of opportunity for education and career advancement. The road to your future can begin now with a quality education.
