subject: Education Grants And The Single Mom [print this page] The job market and economy are sharply down, but the number of people going to school is strong. Working mothers and even those who stay at home can really benefit. Several career areas will experience significant growth, and there will be a need to fill many positions.
Technology will continue to be a vital industry. Digital and wireless capabilities continue to advance, and new technology is being developed constantly. It takes many people to develop these products as well as to help people use them. Various job market projections list computer software engineering as a hot job for the future. There are plenty of strong job options related to the information technology sector.
A second area where analysts believe jobs will open up is health and medicine. In healthcare there is plenty of variety and opportunity. Athletic trainers, physical therapists and occupational therapists provide vital support for patients and will be very much needed. Addiction and behavioral counselors are also important careers. Several professions, like some forms of counseling, require only specialized coursework rather than a medical degree.
Job growth and opportunity is lagging now, but expectations for the future are high. Computer analysts as well as research and market analysts will no doubt be sought after by businesses. All of the jobs in these growing areas will require the proper education. 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. 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. It's a worthy goal to make getting significant degrees and training easier for hardworking moms.
The Obama scholarships for moms are giving many women the chance to educate themselves and to provide for their families. At 2-year and 4-year schools alike there are plenty of amazing educational opportunities. The road to your future can begin now with a quality education.
