New Year; New Career
The year 2009 is rapidly approaching and is promising to be a year of changes: a new president, a new resolution to lose weight and hopefully- a new job..
If you’ve found yourself among the millions of unemployed people, there’s still hope for you yet. People who went to college for one degree, thinking that it would provide them with the background knowledge they would need for a financially secure job, are now finding themselves back in college once more. Just because you lost your job doesn’t necessarily mean that you should run to the nearest university. However, in these changing economic times, it may not be such a bad idea either. That being said, if you’re pressed for time, there are some great jobs out there for those who possess a two-year degree. According to AOL Find a Job (via Careerbuilder.com), the following are the 10 best jobs for those with two-year degrees:
Top 10 Jobs for 2-Year Degrees

Janelle, investing in one’s education is always a good idea, especially in highly competitive times, when a certain skill is what makes the difference between employed and still looking.
I am trying to get in shape, but not looking for a job right now. Yet I am planning to get my BAs this year (I have to pending exams) and to invest more in learning foreign languages. In a more general and low level approach, I try to learn something new everyday
Happy Holidays and have a crazy New Year’s Eve Party,
Alina
