PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Veterinary careers

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’d love to work with animals as a career. But I’m not sure I want to go through years of college to become a veterinarian, especially with the cost of tuition. I also want to be sure I really do like this career. How can I switch into the veterinary eld? -- Janice in San Diego

DEAR JANICE: Working with animals can be rewarding at any level, so kudos for pursuing your dream! Many people in the veterinary eld start as veterinary assistants working at veterinary practices, shelters or labs. You’ll work directly with animals and learn how to care for them from more experienced assistants, vet techs and veterinarians.

e pay isn’t very high -- the median salary is about $15 an hour, or just under $30,000 a year, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. But the requirements for entry are low. A license isn’t needed, nor a formal certi cation. You learn on the job.

Experience working with animals is a typical requirement in job listings for veterinary assistants. You can gain this by volunteering at shelters, pet sitting for neighbors or any activity where animals need to be fed, watered, brushed and bedded down.

Another great way to learn about the eld is to ask someone who works in it. If you have a pet, talk to the people you interact with at the vet’s o ce during the annual checkup. Ask the veterinary assistant and tech how they started their careers, what their job is like, and what pitfalls they’ve encountered.

Chat with the veterinarian about what motivated them to become a vet. You’ll gain the most information from people who are actively working in the eld -- both the good parts and the bad.

BUT TRUE By Lucie Winborne

November 11th Veterans Day

those in the military have given to our country. With this in mind, we are dedicating the four weeks in November to our veterans through a series which will educate and enlighten our readers. Our thanks to our sponsor.

How to show your support for veterans

Supporting veterans is a worthy endeavor at any time of year, though such e orts tend to be more prominent in November. Veterans Day is celebrated annually on November 11 in honor of the millions of individuals across the United States who are military veterans. e day coincides with holidays such as Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which are celebrated in other countries and also honor military veterans. ere’s no denying that veterans need the support of the people whose freedoms they protect. According to a 2021 study from researchers at Brown University’s Watson Institute for International and Public A airs, the percentage of veterans with disabilities is signi cantly higher among post-9/11 veterans (40 percent) than it was with veterans from previous eras (25 percent for Gulf War I veterans and 13 percent for veterans of previous wars). Veterans can bene t from support legislated by elected o cials in Washington, D.C., but there’s also many things ordinary citizens can do to show how much they appreciate the sacri ces veterans and their families have made and will make in the years to come.

• Visit wounded veterans. e United States Census Bureau reports that more than one-third of the nearly 3.8 million men and women who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces since September 2001 have a service-connected disability. Many of these individuals are ghting to overcome physical injuries sustained while on active duty. Individuals who want to show their support for veterans can contact their local Veterans A airs (VA) facility to arrange a visit to wounded veterans. Such visits can li veterans’ spirits and reassure them that their sacri ces are both acknowledged and appreciated.

• Support legislation that supports veterans. ough it might seem like a no-brainer, legislation to support veterans o en faces an uphill battle to get passed. By supporting legislation that ensures veterans get the support they need, individuals can send a message to veterans that they haven’t been forgotten and that the very democratic principles they fought to protect are

alive and well. Citizens can write letters to their elected o cials, urging them to support veteran-friendly legislation, and raise awareness of bills and laws through social media.

• Help raise awareness about homeless veterans. Data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development estimates that approximately 40,000 veterans are homeless on any given night. But that gure doesn’t tell the whole story, as the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans notes that, over the course of a year, roughly twice that many veterans experience homelessness. e National Coalition for Homeless Veterans (NCHV) believes that programs to assist homeless veterans should focus on helping them reach a point where they can obtain and sustain gainful employment. In addition, the NCHV feels that the most e ective programs are community-based, nonpro t, “veterans helping veterans” groups. Individuals can o er their support to such groups through nancial donations or other means so they can continue to ensure no veteran sleeps on the street.

Veterans Day is a time to show veterans that their service and sacri ces are not taken for granted. Visiting wounded veterans and supporting e orts to ensure veterans get what they need to live full, healthy and happy lives is a great way to send the message that veterans are appreciated.

FENCING

Aluminum fencing is ideal for those looking for something that’s both ornamental and functional. Aluminum fencing may not appeal to those homeowners whose biggest priority is privacy, as aluminum fences are not solid walls. But aluminum fences are typically low maintenance, and they can be effective at keeping both kids and pets in the yard. Aluminum fences painted with a rust-inhibiting primer may require even less maintenance than aluminum fences painted without primer.

BOLD COLORS ADD VITALITY TO HOMES

Whether it’s Independence Day, St. Patrick’s Day or the holiday season, the bold hues that are synonymous with these events add a splash of color to rooms that can use a little design lift.

While some colors may be synonymous with certain times of year, homeowners can employ bold colors in their homes all year long. By embracing bold painting and decorating styles, homeowners can use fresh color palettes to make rooms more inviting and colorful.

MAKE FLOORS SHINE LIKE NEW

Restoring shine to flooring involves making sure the floor is clean. Dirt and grime can diminish the color and look of flooring. Homeowners are urged to use products designed for their particular flooring material, such as wood, laminate, stone, or vinyl. Products oftentimes are not interchangeable. Begin by thoroughly sweeping or vacuuming the floor. Clean along all surfaces of the floor, including under furniture where dust and dirt tends to accumulate. Use the hard-floor setting on a vacuum to avoid having the brush rolls scratch or damage the flooring. Laminate can scratch easily and hardwood flooring is not impervious to dings and scratches. Quite often a dry mop or a static-charged mopping cloth effectively picks up debris left behind on many flooring surfaces.

Although many commercial cleaners can clean flooring, homemade mopping solutions are sometimes just as effective. Keep in mind that wood, laminate and vinyl should not be soaked in water. A little liquid can go a long way on these surfaces. Water and other liquids can seep between laminate and wood boards, potentially contributing to swelling and damage over time. Also, resist the urge to use too much soap. Soap can leave behind a residue that dulls the finish of the floor.

Vinegar-based solutions can work well on a wide variety of flooring

and help cut through any sticky residue left behind from cooking, cleaning and the activities of daily life. Many wood-flooring

and polishes are oil-based to condition the wood in the process. Whenever making one’s own solution, test a small amount in an inconspicuous spot to make sure it will not damage the flooring.

The Western lowland gorilla’s scientific name is Gorilla gorilla gorilla.

Speaking of names, SpongeBob was originally created as SpongeBoy, but Nickelodeon discovered that the moniker was already copyrighted by a mop.

CLEVER WAYS TO USE LEFTOVERS

CREATE NEW MEALS. Using leftovers does not mean eating the same exact meal a second time. Ingredients can be utilized in new ways. For example, a roast chicken can be broken down and the meat can be used for fajitas on another night. Leftover tomato sauce and meatballs from a Sunday dinner can be turned into an impromptu chili with the addition of beans and peppers.

muffin pan.

Press seams of puff pastry sheet together. Cut sheet into quarters then each quarter into six pieces.

Use rolling pin to flatten each piece of pastry into square shape. Place one square into each muffin cup.

Put 1/2 teaspoon brie, 1 teaspoon apple butter and 1/2 teaspoon chopped pecans into each muffin cup.

Bake 13-15 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm.

DANSVILLE ROTARY CLUB’S

THANKSGIVING DINNER

November 24th

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* Got soap scum? Mix dishwashing detergent with baking soda and use it to scrub bathroom walls. It’s very effective, and surprisingly gentle, as baking soda is a mild abrasive that works well without scratching.

Continuing an annual event, The Dansville Rotary Club is offering a FREE Thanksgiving Dinner of fresh turkey, potatoes, dressing, vegetable and pie for anyone in the Dansville area.

ALL

MEALS WILL BE DELIVERED!

All deliveries will be restricted to a 10 mile radius of Dansville. All meals delivered between 11:30am and 1pm. Make sure you are home. Meals will be left on the 1st and only delivery attempt.

* “Unless the label states otherwise, the best rinse temperature for clothing is cold water. It will help the clothing retain its shape and color better, and -- bonus -- it’s the least expensive setting.” -- I.F. in Texas

* When whipping egg whites, make sure you bring your eggs to room temperature beforehand. They will yield greater volume.

* Store asparagus in the fridge only for a few days before serving. Trim the cut end and use wet paper towels to wrap it. Keep it in the crisper drawer.

DID YOU KNOW? Leisure activities may be widely viewed as fun ways to fill up free time, but the benefits of leisure activities extend beyond beating boredom. A 2011 analysis published in the journal BBA Molecular Basis of Disease found that leisure activities have a positive impact on cognitive function and dementia. The analysis, conducted by researchers with the Aging Research Center in Stockholm who examined various studies regarding the relationship between certain activities and cognitive function, defined leisure activity as the voluntary use of free time for activities outside the home. After retirement, leisure time constitutes a large part of many retirees’ lives, and finding ways to fill that time is more beneficial than merely avoiding boredom. The researchers behind the study concluded that the existing research is insufficient to draw any firm conclusions regarding the effects of certain types of leisure activities on the risk for dementia and cognitive decline, though they did note that multi-domain cognitive training has the potential to improve cognitive function in healthy older adults and slow decline in affected individuals. A multi-domain approach to cognitive training involves memory, reasoning, problem-solving, and map reading, among other activities. Aging adults who embrace activities that require the use of such skills may find that they’re not only finding stimulating ways to fill their free time, but increasing their chances of long-term cognitive health as well.

* Getting your old deck of cards out to play? If they feel gummy, put them in a plastic baggie, add a little bit of talc, baby powder or cornstarch, seal the bag and shake. Knock the excess off before removing from the bag. Shuffle as usual.

* “Wanna spot clean your floor? Spray an old pair of socks with floor cleaner, put them on and do the cha-cha-cha.” -- V.B. in Iowa

In addition to working toward at least 150 minutes of physical activity each week, it’s important to avoid being sedentary, when possible. You can do

• Buy the right bikes. Take time to research different brands of bicycles and what they offer. Some bikes are ideal for streets or paved trails, while others are better for rustic roads and trails. A qualified bike retailer can help shoppers find the right bike for themandtheirfamilies,ensuring everyone in the family is riding the right size bike and the one commensurate with their skill level.

• Limit the distance. Children won’t be able to put in as many miles as their parents or older

Going for a bike ride is one of the best ways for people to exercise in fresh air. Cycling is not only earth-conscious and convenient, but it also is a fun & popular activity that families can enjoy.

siblings. Limit cycling excursions to a reasonable amount of time so youngsters’ health is not compromised.

• Focus on fun. Consider what kids will get out of the trip and gear the afternoon around that. Choose a path that circles a scenic lake or leads to an ice cream stand. Make your cycling excursion more of an afternoon out than a marathon biking session.

• Take frequent breaks. Little legs may not be able to keep up, and adults will need to

anticipate stopping along the way.

• Know the terrain. Stick to routes you have ridden before. Leave the more intense courses that include extreme climbs and dips for those times when kids are not in tow. Stick to lightly trafficked routes, or travel during off-peak hours. Consult with trail guidesandreadreviewsaswell.

Cycling as a family can be an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon & get some exercise.

Excess Connective Tissue Leads to Outward Skin Condition

DEAR DR. ROACH: In my 40s, I developed lumps in the palm of my hands. I was diagnosed with Dupuytren’s contracture and underwent hand surgery to correct the condition. I also noticed similar lumps in the arches of my feet, which don’t cause any pain, so I’ve not sought treatment for my feet. Now in my mid-60s, I have experienced a severe bend in my penis. I assume it’s Peyronie’s disease. The bend has lessened over several months. What is the cause and connection between these phenomenon? Should I seek treatment? -- B.M.

ANSWER: All three of the conditions you mention are related to excess growth of connective tissue. In the hand, Dupuytren’s contracture is caused by excess growth of a connective cell (called a fibroblast) in the superficial palmar fascia (fascia is the thick, tough connective tissue found in many places in the body). A very similar condition in the plantar fascia (“plantar” refers to the sole of the feet) is called plantar fibromatosis (also called Ledderhose disease).

Peyronie’s disease is also caused by excess growth of fibroblasts, with deposition of collagen plaques in the penis, causing pain and deformity of the penis. This, in turn, can cause psychological distress and sexual dysfunction. Twenty-one percent of people with Peyronie’s also have Dupuy-tren’s contracture. It is thought that repeated trauma, whether to the hand, penis or foot, is a trigger for the abnormal fibroblast activity in people with a genetic predisposition.

Many men do not speak to their physician about Peyronie’s disease, so they don’t get referred to a urologist, who can discuss the options for treatment. Treatment may include medications, injection and surgery, and referral to an expert is appropriate for all men in whom the condition is suspected.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu.

Lance Corporal Roger Dale Yencer, A True American Hero

BY JODY GREER

Veterans Day is a time to remember the Americans who served our nation. ese courageous servicemen and women represent the best of us. To honor the memory of one of those Americans, a local hometown hero, Roger Yencer Sr., a special ceremony was held last Saturday at the Halley-Allen Post dedication ceremony in Sonyea, NY. A former military veteran and American Legion member, Lance Corporal Roger Dale Yencer served two years and eight months and several operations during his time in Vietnam. He passed away in 2020. As most people who knew him can tell you, he was a true American hero.

e dedication ceremony presented certi cates of appreciation to Dave Spallina of Spallina Materials and Jim Olverd of Kircher Construction. Both companies dedicated materials and labor to construct a newly furnished porch addition to the Hally-Allen Post in recognition of Yencer’s life and legacy. Both Spallina and Olverd are longtime friends of Yencer, going back many years. Upon being presented with the certi cate of recognition, Spallina stated, “It warmed my heart that they did something like that for me. Roger and I would have joked about it and said something silly over it, but I know it’s for Roger and I would do anything for him, if he was still here.” When asked to describe Roger as a person, Spallina remarked, “He’s a true friend. I can’t say enough about him. I could never say anything wrong about Roger. He was a wonderful man.”

Yencer Sr.’s son, Roger Yencer Jr. , was also in attendance for the ceremony. He recalls lovingly, “No matter what time of the day, if the village needed something, my dad would respond. He touched the community. He personally helped if someone needed something. His business would also always help people. at’s how dad was.”

at business was Yencer

Construction, which was active for thirty years before Yencer’s retirement in 2007. While it is no longer in existence today, many fondly remember the contributions Yencer made through his business, and as an individual. According to Yencer’s daughter, Amy Yencer, “my dad didn’t have the best life growing up; his father (my grandfather) passed away when he was very young, so he worked at a younger age to help support my grandmother. My dad didn’t have anything, and that’s why he chose to give to others.”

One of those contributions was Livingston County’s Veterans Park located in Mt. Morris, NY which was established in 2001. e park pays homage to veterans from all wars, but also pays a special and moving tribute to four of Yencer’s fallen comrades. A plaque in the park commemorates his fellow Marines, known simply as “Tex, Bell, Doc and Sparks”. ese fellow U.S. Marines from the Fox-Trot Second Battalion and ird Platoon, never had a chance to make it home to their families, but Yencer found a way to remember their sacri ce in a way that time will never forget. It’s unclear whether Yencer himself

knew the real names of these men, as they were only referred to by their nicknames during combat. What is clear however, is that he knew how important it was to carry on the memory of their sacri ce, and the sacri ce made by all who serve their country. Yencer was able to honor the memory of George Riordan, “Doc,” in a way few people thought was possible. He once spearheaded a surprise ceremony for the Riordan family from Dover, New Hampshire with the aid of nine separate VFW organizations and ten American Legion organizations. Yencer later remarked, “We were nally able to give the military respect that he and his family deserved. All came to give tribute thirty years later for their fallen comrade. e support was unbelievable.”

e Veterans Park is the ideal destination point to visit this Veterans Day holiday. Widely considered a local point of interest, the park boasts an abundance of picturesque scenery decorated with plaques and monuments commemorating veterans who served from the Civil War up until the Afghanistan Wars. Recently, in 2018, the Mt. Morris Fire Department donated a steel beam that was once a part of the World Trade Center building, in memory of all who lost their lives on 9/11.

Steuben County District #4 Wayland & Cohocton Legislator’s Report

As 2022 is coming to an end, it is time once again to report on County activities for the past year.

For the past year the Public Safety and Corrections Committees have been holding meetings trying to resolve the too long ambulance response time throughout the County and to address the need for an inhouse education program to help the EMTs in the County secure the necessary credit hours to become an EMT or training to keep their licenses. To help in this e ort, $500,000.00 has been put in the County budget for 2023.

e County budget for 2023 has been completed and if rati ed by the Legislature will re ect a 1½% increase in the tax levy over 2022. e good news is that with the additional assessment County-wise, the tax rate per thousand will go down by about $.35.

With in ation, the cost of providing services throughout the County has risen to an all-time high. Fortunately, with the in ation comes an increase in the sale tax revenue that the County collects. is helps keep County taxes down.

As I have reported in my previous reports, Covid monies received from the Federal government will be used to rehab County highway shops and County buildings along with providing Internet services to underserved areas

in the County. Using the Federal funds for these purposes will help keep the County budget down in future years.

Even with the high cost of products to rebuild or maintain our county roads and bridges and with the help of additional State and Federal aid, the County was able, in 2022, to do every project in its 2022 plan and in doing so is ahead of the infrastructure ve year plan.

Like in every part of the nation, we are nding more homeless people in the County. Kathy Muller, Commissioner of Social Services, and her sta have done a great job in addressing this issue.

State law that created No-Cash Bail should be repealed as it has tied the hands of courts and police agencies. We have people being arrested and because of No-Cash Bail are back on the street in a short time.

In conclusion, I would like to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season. If you have any questions concerning county government, please call my o ce at 585-728-2270.

DID YOU KNOW? The demand for qualified, talented nurses figures to grow in the years to come.According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than half a million nurses are expected to retire by 2022. Couple that with an existing nursing shortage, and the BLS projects a need for 1.1 million registered nurses in the near future. A shortage also figures to affect Canada, where the Canadian Nurses Association recently estimated that the country would be forced to confront a nursing shortage of roughly 60,000 nurses by 2022. Various factors are contributing to the nursing shortage in both countries, including an increasingly large aging population that will require more and more nurses to meet its health care needs. In the United States, the Affordable Care Act, which was passed in 2010, increased access to health care for millions of people across the country, thereby creating a greater need for nurses and other health care professionals. In addition, a greater emphasis on preventive care in many countries across the globe figures to compel more people to visit their physicians even when they’re otherwise feeling healthy. As more people prioritize preventive care, the need for more nurses will likely increase.

Two important product recalls

Several disturbing items have been in the news lately. Have you heard about these product recalls?

CPAP machines: Two dozen di erent CPAP machines have been recalled. e list includes Bilevel PAP, BiPAP or BPAP machines, as well as the CPAP. e reason is a bit frightening. Black foam pieces can come loose and be breathed in or swallowed.

While the recall was issued quite a long time ago, the Food and Drug Administration just updated that information with this alert: If you now have one of the repaired or replaced machines (due to the previous recall), testing is currently being done to ensure that the repair foam used is OK.

e reason for the concern and the current testing: ere have been deaths, far too many deaths, from the breakdown of the foam used in the machines.

To learn more about this, go online to: https://tinyurl.com/hvy73j36. You can also call the Philips company at 877-907-7508. e recall says not to stop using the machine until you talk to your doctor, whether you have an original machine or one that was repaired or is a replacement.

Bedrails on portable beds: e Consumer Product Safety Commission (and several companies) issued a warning for thousands of portable bedrails, the ones that attach to the sides of beds to keep someone from falling out. e problems are so serious that deaths were reported when people became wedged between the mattress and the rail. ese bedrails were made under various names. Your best bet is to call the Consumer Product Safety Commission and ask about bedrail recalls to be sure you learn about all possible brands. Contact them at 800-638-2772.

For more information, go to the FDA website (fda.gov) and put “Safety Concerns about Bed Rails” in the search box.

For overall recall information, keep an eye on this government site: www.cpsc.gov/recalls

LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE AFTER 50

(NAPSI)—For many people, navigating life and love as they get older can be challenging. Adjusting to change, seeking a new partner, or simply breaking out of a rut may feel overwhelming. In the hilarious hit comedy “Book Club,” four mature women in different circumstances discover that you’re never too old to enjoy life or pursue love. That’s a message author and newspaper columnist Tom Blake agrees with wholeheartedly. Blake has written more than 4,000 articles and newsletters on the topic and offers this advice, which is reflected in the movie:

1. Give love a chance in later years: Put yourself out there; everyone deserves love.

2. Don’t worry about what others think: Do what’s right for you.

3. Loosen up: Don’t be too set in your ways.

4. Change your routine: Be open to new experiences.

5. Don’t let your children make decisions for you: No one knows you better than you.

6. Have fun: Don’t stop living before you stop living!

In “Book Club,” legendary actresses Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen and Mary Steenburgen star respectively as a widow, single, divorcée and long-married woman who hilariously shake up their lives by diving into the infamous book “Fifty Shades of Grey.” From discovering new romance to rekindling old flames, the lifelong friends inspire each other to make their next chapter the best chapter.

“’Book Club’ has wonderful messages about never giving up on life or love no matter how old you are,” said Blake. “Good things can happen when you venture out and meet new people.”

To liven up your life, check out “Book Club” on DVD, Blu-ray or iTunes and go to www.FindingLoveAfter50.com for more tips from Blake.

Thank You!

I would like to give a Huge Thank You to the guys at the Cortese Detail Center. My car was stolen and not found for a week. When I got it back I wasn't sure I even wanted it back. It was trashed Kevin and Gary explained what they could do. When they finished the detailing, it looked liked new. I’m very happy to have my car back!

Outdoor Beauty!

We enjoyed beautiful flowers in our parks and towns all summer, despite the dry start. Many thanks to the town crews, businesses, and volunteers that maintained them. Now with fall, homes and towns are lovely with fall displays with pumpkins, scarecrows, mums and more! Your efforts are enjoyed and appreciated!

Good Deed

I was picking up my subs in Wayland when a good deed guy came in to buy 2 sheet pizzas to boost the morale of his co-workers. I mentioned how great that was for him to do. The next thing I know, he had paid for our subs as well. Angels do exist.

Riga Recreation Halloween Parade

Even the early rain could not dampen the spirits of Trick or Treaters for the Riga Recreation/Churchville Lion's Club annual Halloween Parade. The large and enthusiastic crowd of "Tricksters" were lead through the streets of Churchville by the Churchville Fire Truck and "Fairy Godmother"(Lion, Verna) to the nicely decorated Village Gazebo where they were greeted by members of the Lion's Club and the Union Congregational Church to receive "goodie bags" and apples. Local business gift certificates were also given to uniquely costumed boys & girls!

Many thanks to the Riga Town Board, Village of Churchville, Churchville Lions and LEO Clubs, Union Congregational Church, Churchville FD and Fire Police, parents, trick or treaters, and Fairy Godmother, Verna, for leading the way!

David Thomas, Riga Recreation Supervisor

Rudeness?...YES

I agree with all the talk about rudeness of people today! I recently moved back to the area and the rudeness of the people in this area is shocking! If it’s not the words coming out of their mouths, it’s their attitude on the roads, in the stores or walking down the street. I have really seen this with people on the roads. I’ve almost had 2-3 accidents because people think driving rules don’t pertain to them. They have no idea who has the right of way. Folks, the Exit from[local sotre} is an ENTRANCE and EXIT. If you are leaving and in the left hand lane, you are in the wrong lane! I’m really disappointed in people of my home town.

Inconsiderate Neighbors

I live where there is a shared driveway between three houses. Most of the time there are no problems. My vehicle has been hit in my parking area while parked - no one came and told me, of course. I had had my vehicle just two days at that point. So, of course, it goes on my insurance. Now the neighbor up behind has their kids in and out all day long. No problem except their truck has a LOUD muffler and they go past my living room window at least 5 or 6 times, sometimes parking and leaving it running to listen to for 15 to 20 minutes at a time. There is no shutting the noise out as my house is too close. This is not a cool noise. It needs to be quieted down.

Daylight Savings

I do not think daylight savings should end as it is a safety issue for school children. They walk, cross roads, and board busses in the dark. In today’s society, and with drivers ignoring bus stop signs, it is just not safe. If it stops changing, then schools should consider starting one hour later, which has already been a possibility in the past.

VOCATIONAL SCHOOLING CAN PAVE THE WAY TO HIGH-PAYING JOBS

Many students believe that the next natural step after graduating from high school is to go off to college. Secondary education has become such a common transition that many parents begin saving for college tuition as soon as their children are born. Although college can be the next chapter in a student’s education, many teenagers still choose to attend trade school.

Television personality Mike Rowe says the country is in the midst of a skilled labor shortage because workers lack the necessary training to fill the hundreds of thousands of available jobs. Lack of information may drive the notion that trade jobs are nothing more than a backup plan if college doesn’t pan out. However, by realizing that trade jobs, along with short-term vocational training, is a smart investment - and eventually a lucrative career choice - attitudes about trade schools and laborintensive jobs may shift.

A great number of college graduates enter the workforce with degrees that may not help them land jobs. And these students typically carry thousands of dollars in tuition debt. Many college grads are underemployed and working in jobs that aren’t even in their fields of study. Career and technical schools help students develop specialized skills that make graduates immediately marketable in their chosen fields, and trade salaries can be very competitive.

CONSERVE ENERGY AROUND THE OFFICE

Conservation methods can help save energy and preserve natural resources, but business owners may also be intrigued by the potential cost-savings of conservation.

Utility costs vary depending on the size of a business, but the U.S. Small Business Administration notes that prospective business owners must estimate and include such costs when seeking loans to start their businesses. Estimated utility costs can be intimidating, especially for those owners who have never before owned their own businesses. Traditional conservation methods like recycling and reusing are great ways to conserve and save around the office, but business owners also can embrace some other ways to lower their office energy costs while benefitting the planet at the same time.

TAKE A CUE FROM SUCCESSFUL WOMEN

Go easy on yourself. While many successful people strive for perfection, achieving perfection is unlikely, if not impossible. Successful people often admit to being their own worst critics, but don’t beat yourself up if you endure some trial and error. Mistakes can be a great teacher, so use any you make to your advantage.
