How to Know if You Are in the Right CareerWritten by Kathleen Gage
How to Know if You Are In The Right Career by Kathleen Gage Ever wonder if you are in right career? If you are like most people you have. Did you know that 80% of people are currently misemployed? They are either underemployed, not happy with their current position or not fairly compensated for their skill and/or function set. If so many people are misemployed, why do they stay in their current situation? Why do they not take necessary steps to move into something that will be fulfilling and something they can look forward to doing every day - a situation they can truly be proud of? The following are some of most common reasons: •Complacency •Fear of unknown •Fear of change •Not knowing what their options are •Don’t want to give up familiar, no matter how uncomfortable familiar is •Staying within their comfort zone •No time to search for something new •They just don’t know how to make a change •Fear of failure •Fear of success (they may actually get what they dreamed of) •They fear job search is more frustrating than their current unsatisfactory job •Not knowing where to begin How often have we heard others give these reasons for not moving out of an unpleasant situation? How often have we said this to ourselves if we are actually misemployed? Imagine looking back over your life and saying, “I wish I would have done it differently.” So often in life, it is not what we do that we regret, rather what we don’t do that we regret most. Things like not making a change when we knew a change was in order, or not taking appropriate steps to move into a situation that would lend itself to a more fulfilling life both personally and professionally.

Only 20-30 years ago, child care was a cottage industry operating out of remodeled houses, granny flats or small business shop fronts. Early centers were essentially baby-sitting facilities. Today's day care centers, frequently part of regional or national chains, are larger and more professionally run. Because parents want their children to get educational services, many centers require that their caregivers have early childhood education degrees. The day care industry is regulated by state law, and sometimes also by county or city, and regulations vary widely by state.
