Six Hot Fields to Consider
by Barbara Reinhold
The mistaken impression that you choose a field and love it for life (particularly if you spent a fair amount of money getting trained for it) has hung over the heads of bored and dissatisfied people for much too long. So for some weary workers, the silver lining of an out-of-control economy has been permission to consider other options.
No self-respecting career counselor or coach would ever suggest choosing a new field just because it's hot. If the fit isn't good, nothing (not even lots of money and perks) could make it a positive experience. Nonetheless, since many of you might be looking around for a new career destination, by choice or default, here are six industries to consider:
Healthcare:
Baby boomers' health needs and exploding biotechnology have combined to ensure that this industry can only grow.
Insurance: Both current world uncertainty and shifting demographics account for the gearing-up happening in this industry.
Security:
This hot new industry needs people at all levels.
Construction: Low interest rates are the fuel in this industry's tank.
Government:
Within the next three years, nearly half of government executives are slated to retire. That will leave room for talent and experience in a wide range of agencies and organizations. For people at midlife, when "doing something that makes a difference" often becomes increasingly important, a transition to government is often just what's needed.
Education:
Ditto the midlife "social purpose" drive here. In the next six years, nearly 2 million teachers are expected to retire. In response, states and school districts are relaxing requirements to make it easier to accomplish a midlife transition into a classroom near you.

Hey guys. As always, it is nice to see you guys tethering this site.
Biswo, you may be interested in knowing that I am leaving for a vacation in China tomorrow with the Mrs. Promises to be exciting. It is a package deal. As a newar, I look forward to rediscovering my mongoloid roots. OK, perhaps that's a stretch.
I recently went to Seattle, and discovered (for myself that is), a wonderful Nepali restaurant by the name of Himalayan Sherpa Retaurant, a stone's throw from the University of Washington. The owners were very gracious. Mr Mohan Gurung runs the restaurant now. A man who was formerly a hospital technician at Bir Hospital, he is now a restauranter and has put both of his children through college here in the States. And they have wonderful jobs now. The waitress was an endearing young college student from Nepal. The restaurant even has a website: http://www.himalayansherpa.com
Perhaps the Sajha populace can offer this idyllic eatery its patronage when visiting the great northwest.
I have not seen many unequivocally Nepali restaurants here in the US. The only other one that I know of is in Colorado Springs, CO. The name escapes me unfortunately.

I wish there were something equivalent to "sindur and pote" for netizens. What do you guys think? Honestly, I would not want to "dream about......stufffff....you know... " if I was well aware that the "kt" in question is not a prospective girl of my dreams but is "happily married with kids".

How absolutely outrageous!! Even in real life not all women espouse to the sindur pote thing! And not all Nepali cultures even do the sindur pote thing!!
If "dreaming about" and "finding prospectives" from among the female visitors is your intention in participating in Sajha, why don't YOU change your names to say "bachelor"? or how about "SNM" or "desperatelyseekingsajan"?
Now its sindur pote, next it will be burkha chaddor!! Nonsense!!
