Career Research
Thanks to each of you for doing a bit of research on your current interest for potential future career. I stumbled upon a website that I wanted to share with you... It is called "Jobs Made Real" and is a site created BY teens FOR teens! It features videos of people describing and engaged in doing their jobs. The idea for the website was created in response to teens saying they do not know what people really do in their jobs, and therefore find it difficult to decide on a career direction. Along with on-the-job videos, the site provides statistical data on job forecast and career information. I would like you to take a little time to peruse this resource and comment below either on any additional information you learned about that you had not previously seen in your research, whether this resource was of any benefit, etc... as we wrap up on occupational health and move into environmental health and wellness with Earth Day approaching us on Saturday, April 22. With an interest in eventually starting up my own business, I often listen to Dale Partridge's "Start Up Camp" podcast. Here are two of his recent interviews from two of the faces that you will recognize from our Foundations Introduction to Financial Health and Wellness...
This week, we will be going through a brief introduction to personal finance in Dave Ramsey's "Foundations in Personal Finance" high school edition. If this glimpse into the world of financial health and wellness interests you, note that Concordia Offers a Personal Finance class that goes through the entire curriculum! Dave's Story... With more than 20 years of experience counseling people on how to manage their money, Dave knows what it takes to get control of your cash. More than 20 years ago, my wife, Sharon, and I went broke. We lost everything due to my stupidity in handling money, or not handling it, as the case may be. Hitting bottom and hitting it hard was the worst thing that ever happened to me and the best thing that ever happened to me. We started with nothing, but by the time I was 26 years old, we held real estate worth more than $4 million. I was good at real estate, but I was better at borrowing money. Even though I had become a millionaire, I had built a house of cards. The short version of the story is that debt caused us, over the course of two and a half years of fighting it, to lose everything. We were sued, foreclosed on, and, finally, with a brand-new baby and a toddler, we were bankrupt. Scared doesn’t begin to cover it. Crushed comes close, but we held on to each other and decided we needed a change. After losing everything, I went on a quest to find out how money really works, how I could get control of it, and how I could have confidence in handling it. I read everything I could get my hands on. I interviewed older rich people, people who made money and kept it. That quest led me to a really, really uncomfortable place: my mirror. I came to realize that my money problems, worries and shortages largely began and ended with the person in my mirror. I also realized that if I could learn to manage the character I shaved with every morning, I would win with money. The stuff we teach in this class represents everything I’ve learned about money since then, from savings and debt, to insurance and investing. And I’m excited that my daughter Rachel has joined me to get this information to you before you graduate high school. Trust me, knowing this stuff then would have saved me a whole lot of trouble!
