Hi Friends,
I came across some interesting data that I want to share, expecially for those of you who are looking at career paths: These have been ranked by US News and World Report based on salary, employment rate, and stress level. Software developer, statistician, physician assistant and dentist. Fifth place is shared by orthodontist and nurse anesthetist. Make sure you do some job shadowing before you make a career decision.

There are so many places on the web to write. Please visit my blog at maxineskuba.blogspot.com for more indepth comments. A shout out to Dan Stobar who was one of my first clients back in the 80's. He left a partially satisfying job in San Diego (Trump had bought the facility and had changed it) and had four interviews at the Esalen Institute. He finally landed the job of his dreams. I am happy for him..

Hi Friends
I thought I would share a poem I wrote some years ago. I think we have all been in the same boat at some point in our work life. It is called, "Applying for Work"

My bad attitude is showing
I can't get a job.
My fault I know.
I don't smile at you
knowing
I won't like
the job
in the first place.
Sorry.
My heart and soul aren't here.
Excuse me while I go home
and join them.
I'm here for the money
and you can smell it
all over me.
You can see my intentions.
I can't hide
my reluctance
and you-
you reward me
by filing
my resume in the back
of the drawer.

Thank you.

The above post was from Benjamin Disraeli. It is one of the greatest gifts a parent can give a child. I try to give the same service in my career counseling practice.
