The other day I was consulting my cousin. She wants to come to the United States for higher studies. I did some research for her. This post is an output of that research. There are careers, high paying ones, that don’t require you to have a college degree. Career after college

On the other side, there are careers which do need an appropriate college degree? For me, I am from an orthodox family which always have advocated for education. Even knowing that career can be had without a degree. Even when my father didn’t have enough money to send me to college, he encouraged me to do so. Luckily the college I was admitted to had govt. subsidized education system.

As for my cousin, she’s been an excellent student all throughout her school. I am sure she’ll get scholarships as well. What about you? Or your son/daughter? How are you envisioning the career search? Will you go for your desire? Or, you’ll go for a career with a high potential for earning.

Not a long back, I posted on wonders of working at home. In this guest post, Apple talks about pros and cons of working at home.

Honestly, it was good first few hours then, I felt bored. The hustle and bustle of an office I started missing soon. I guess I am not really a work-at-home person. But that’s me!

Landing on a new job after college/underemployment or Finding a higher paying job and thus increasing your income is one of the most important aspects of personal finance. There are few other articles on career and productivity that I wrote in last couple of years. In this blog post I’ll talk about finding job through internet.

Internet job search

Sociologists conducted a survey, the topic was: “What do you do when you need to find a prestigious job quickly?” The results were the following: 6 % of the respondents will go to a recruitment agency or labor exchange; 7% of them will ask their friends and relatives for help; 9 %  will look through the newspaper for a suitable job; 16% of respondents will search for a job through the Internet sitting at home; 62 % use several of the above mentioned methods.So, it’s worth to say a few words about the pros and cons of Internet job search as it is the newest and the most widely used means of job hunting.

I am an Ordinary employee with an ambition to become one of the top executives sometime in my career. I may not be on target as of now, but I want to be on course.

The logic applied here is quite simple, which is that highly top executives are far more effective than regular workers.
