A Tough Economy Can be Good for Your Career
Shaky economy or not, now is the time for newer professionals to move full speed ahead when it comes to life in the workplace. Unlike their more seasoned coworkers, newer workers don’t have a track record of successes (or much of any professional history, for that matter) to fall back on when times are tough or to justify a lackluster performance or slower sales. Instead, they’ve got to hit the ground running and start building a string of experiences now – economy be darned.

It’s Not about Unemployment – It’s about Employability
Employers are discovering increasing numbers of high school graduates who cannot do “applied” math, perform basic measurements and fill out job applications. In other words, “they are graduates who are not employable.”Our culture and our education system are only producing a small percentage of individuals who are taking a “challenging curriculum” so they are truly prepared for the rigors of college or a knowledge-based workplace.” We must understand that our new concern is not unemployment but “employability!”
Now is the Time
I love the hopeful feeling of having a new calendar and fresh plans laid out in front of me. But of course the New Year doesn’t wait long before euphoria subsides and it begins testing your resolve, persistence and plans. Whether your goals for 2012 were written in indelible ink or simply mumbled to yourself during your commute, the universe somehow seems to know about them and begins delivering the challenges. At some primal level, we know that our plans will only take wing if we get both hands on the steering wheel and are not shy about turning it in a direction we want to go. So, if starting a business is on your list of resolutions, I have some thoughts to share with you.

The Pros and Cons of Buying a Franchise Straight Out of College
In today’s rapidly changing economy, college graduates realize that embarking on a steady career that will last many years with one company is a reality of the past. More likely than not, college graduates will change jobs multiple times over the course of their professional lives, and job security will be something they only dream of. As a result, more and more young men and women entering the workforce are exploring options outside of the traditional “9-5” job. For the entrepreneurial thinker, buying a franchise will rank high on this list of possibilities. Yet, despite the inarguable success of numerous franchises and countless franchise owners across the country and around the world, is venturing into the franchise business the right choice for a recent college graduate?

8.0 Promotion of women’s entrepreneurship: Support for Growth-oriented Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania, 2005
According to key informants from the University of Dar es Salaam, entrepreneurship is only now becoming considered a legitimate and valued activity in Tanzania. There is a huge need to increase this and to create more awareness of the important role that owners of micro and small enterprises play in the economy. A much higher value has to be attached to opportunities in the SME sector and to the role of entrepreneurs so as to make it an acceptable and preferred option for college and university graduates, the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Believe it or not, the average age of college students today is 27. Many adults are going back to school years after what is considered the “traditional” age for attending college.
Are You Limiting Your Thinking
The more interesting and enlightening you are, the more people will welcome you into their lives and the more opportunity will abound. Learning is not limited to going to school or getting a degree. It's surprising that many people stop feeding their minds after a certain point. For some, that point is high school graduation; for others, it's graduating from college.
