As you look into your future, what do you see? Do you see yourself in a career with strong growth potential? In one where the impact of outsour cin g is leaving doubt in your mind? Are you unsure of yourself and uncertain about what to do?

Where can you go to do some basic research?

If you are in the US , one of the interesting FREE (yes, free) resources available to you is from a government agency—The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (http://www.bls.gov) . Among the information they offer is the Occupational Outlook Guide ( http://www.bls.gov/oco/home.htm ) that offers glimpses into the requirements of your job and its prospects for the future, Occupational Employment Statistics ( http://www.bls.gov/oes/home.htm ) with information about the numbers of people in your profession and their average salary (The greatest number of jobs exist in . . . food service with more than 10,000,000 people; is it any wonder so many Americans are overweight), a quarterly report of employment by county htm ( http://www.bls.gov/cew/home.htm ), even career information for children ( http://www.bls.gov/k12/index ).

The information is not influenced by someone attempting to sell education to you or job change, but just data based upon employer input and projections.
