So many jobs, so little time

"Time is a luxury you do not have, Captain." -- Khan, Wrath of Khan

So many jobs are out there, yet only a few will serve my family needs. Keep looking for academic work? Maybe adjuncting? How about high school? Publishing?

As any career switcher knows, skills are marketable across a variety of fields. The major challenge, it seems to me, is acquiring the right credentials (like certification to teach high school).

Or choosing a field that won't result in a layoff soon.

Or finding enough income to support a family, in a place with a cost of living that won't wipe out all chance of income.

The only two fields that seem to be growing right now are computers and oil. Hmmm... *does the math* Maybe I should blog about an oilfield. :-D
