When you marry someone in the same career field as yourself, you marry someone who understands what you do. This gives you someone to talk to who really understands what you’re going through. It also gives you someone to compete against which can be either good or bad. You may find yourself always talking about work or you may find that you two can actually start working together happily.

When you marry someone who is in a different career field, you risk failing to understand what they do. However, you also have the chance to learn from them. My best friend’s husband went to cooking school. She can’t cook at all and has zero interest in culinary arts degrees but she’s having fun learning from him in the kitchen.

Either way can work. And either way can fail. It’s more important to choose a partner with similar interests and a common communication style than to choose a partner whose work you do (or don’t) understand.

On the other hand, if you need help with your career and you are a big fan of the game of golf you might consider some sort of golf training. There are a number of very fine business golf education management schools out there that will teach you everything about the business of running a golf course.

Golf business management is a growing profession that has a lot of room for folks just like you and me. In the past it did seem the only way to own or operate a pro shop or golf course was to be at the end of you PGA Tour career.

Today, nothing is further from the truth. All it takes is a little golf career and training time, and you’ll be introduced to a world of opportunities.

People who are interested in working as rehab counselors for those who have substance abuse problems don’t need to have an extensive educational background. However, they do need a little bit of schooling and they also need to have some basic skills that make them good at the job.

A few of the things that you need to be good at working in drug rehab centers include:

• Certificate or Associates Degree in substance abuse counseling. This education makes it a lot easier to get a job in the field.
• Understanding of substance abuse issues. Having experienced drug problems yourself or having seen a loved one deal with these issues makes you better able to understand the realities behind the job.
• Understanding of local drug issues. Someone in Florida would want specific insight into Florida alcohol treatment and Florida drug treatment issues as opposed to simply a broad understanding of drug treatment.
• Patience with people without being a pushover. There’s a fine line in drug treatment where you need to be really patient with your patients but you also need to be capable of setting boundaries and sticking to them.

These are the skills and requirements that serve as the bare minimum for what you should have to get started in work as a drug rehab staff member. Beyond that, it’s just all about gaining on-the-job experience!

Someone who is interested in a career in the field of criminal justice may find that he has an interest in working in a bail bonds office. Careers in bail bonds include administrative careers, financial careers and even the job of being a bounty hunter.

What does it take to work in a bail bonds office in any of these capacities?

• A level head. The worst thing that you can have when working in a business that includes interaction with criminals is a quick temper.
• Knowledge of the area. A bail bonds Santa Rosa agent should know about Santa Rosa, a bail bonds San Diego agent should know about San Diego and so forth.
• Way with people. You need to work with all walks of life when you work in bail bonds so you had better have a way with people.
• Ability to be firm. You can’t let anyone push you over or walk on you when you’re working in a business as filled with trouble as the bail bonds business is.

People who are shy, unable to set good boundaries with others, uncomfortable with diverse groups of people or new to an area are people who shouldn’t consider working in a bail bonds business. Others should do fine in this industry.

The health insurance in Florida was something I was so happy I was able to get.  Being a part of an employer who did not offer the health insurance I needed was somewhat daunting to me until I was able to get it through the group of restaurant association.  What a relief to be a part of a group that recognizes a need and is able to fill it with a benefit such as health insurance.  Because not all small businesses can offer these types of benefits, other groups out there offer a way for people to be covered.  They sometimes also extend benefits to the individuals’ family too.

Caregiver training is available online and easily accessible. As the baby boomer generation ages more and more companies will need employees educated in caregiver training programs.  Many home health care jobs allow workers to set their own schedules.  Caregiver jobs are excellent for college students, working moms and second job seekers.  Many caregiver jobs involve assisting the elderly or homebound with some of the daily chores of life.

Often families are overwhelmed in taking on all the responsibilities of caring for elderly relatives. Caregivers help to relieve some of the burdens placed on the family, which enables the family to have more quality time with one another.  Families often seek out caregiver agencies to assist them in hiring part-time home healthcare workers.  Sometimes families need temporary assistance while a relative is recovering from surgery.

Whether you’re seeking a part-time or second job or a complete job change look into the growing field of home health care employment.

1. I can choose my own hours.  Usually, of course — if I have a deadline looming this doesn’t apply.  But I love being able to blow off work during the day and make it up in the evening if I need to, or work more or fewer hours as I wish.
2. My earning power is directly related to how much I work.  Many professional jobs don’t pay overtime anymore, so you can be forced to work a lot of hours without really earning any more.  Owning your own business offers you the financial freedom of deciding for yourself how much you want to earn.
3. I don’t have to spend time and gas money commuting to and from work.  This doesn’t apply if you buy a franchise for sale or start your own brick-and-mortar store, of course, but there are plenty of businesses you can operate out of your home.  With the cost of gas these days, it really pays off to work from home!

If you are thinking of starting an eBay business, for example, I highly recommend being self-employed.  I can’t imagine a better life!
