Dave Says

BY DAV E R A M S E Y

Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money & business. He has authored fi ve New York Times best-selling books, including The Total Money Makeover. The Dave Ramsey Show is heard by more than 8.5 million listeners each week on more than 550 radio stations. Follow Dave on Twitter at @DaveRamsey & on the web at daveramsey.com.

FIRST, GET A REAL JOB

A BAD MOVE

Dear Dave,

Dear Dave,

I currently have student loans in deferment from earning a degree in hospitality management. My career goal is to own a mobile food vending company, so I’m putting most of the money I make from eBay and ride-hailing services — around $1,000 a month — aside in savings for that. Should I forego my business idea for the time being, and knock out the student loan debt instead?

I have a whole life insurance policy with zero cash value due to loans I took out per the advice of my agent. I finally realized this wasn’t a smart move, as I now owe premiums plus interest every year. Am I still on the hook for the policy loans if I forfeit the policy to buy term insurance?

- Nicholas Dear Nicholas, You should put this business idea on hold for now, unless you can start it for less than $1,000. The first thing you need to do is go out, and get a real job.

I know you have this dream of being self-employed, but right now you’re not doing so well as an entrepreneur.

With a hospitality degree, you can make $30,000 to $50,000 a year within the industry, clean up your mess, and build out the eBay thing on the side.

Just think about how quickly you could save up money for a jump into the food truck or mobile food business, then!

Pay your way through it, Nicholas. Don’t sit around scraping by on the kind of money you’re making now and call that winning. You have a real economic engine at your fingertips, because you have the knowledge from the degree you earned. And it’s a valuable degree. If you go in there and bust it, you can escalate yourself upward through that industry in a hurry.

While you’re doing that, you can clean up all your student loans and save up money for your food truck. Boom! You’re self-employed and you learned a lot of stuff you can use in your new business. Go make some real money, then follow your dream, man!

Tanner Dear Tanner, No, you are not. Get your term insurance in place first, then when you cancel the policy your cash value will offset your loans.

They won’t loan you more than your cash value. It’s seldom that they will loan you 100 percent of cash value, so you might actually have a cash value that is above your loan amount. If they have loaned you the full amount of your cash value, it’ll be an exact break even, and just canceling the policy means you cancel the interest and cancel the premiums.

It was bad advice to buy the policy, and even dumber advice to clean the whole thing out and sit there paying interest to borrow your own money and pay a premium to keep the loan open.

I recommend 10 to 12 times your income on a 15- or 20-year level term policy. During that 15 or 20 years, of course, you should be getting out of debt and building wealth so that you have a big pile of money and no need for life insurance.

-Katy, Texas Reader A: Many or most of the people attending today are first timers. Almost all job fairs have a registration process because they need to know how many people attended and if they received interview and/or job offers. If you can, register online. If that isn’t available, you will be asked to register when you arrive, and then you’ll begin visiting.

The JobSparx Team attends between 25 and 30 job fairs every year, and we get many questions from attendees. Here are a few recent questions and answers to help you prepare for job fairs.

I look forward to seeing you at the next one!

Phone: 713.358.3394 | E-Mail Resume: recruiting@martinfoods.com

Check out the companies attending and figure out what types of jobs they are offering. If it is a company where you want to work, and the jobs are similar to jobs you have held in the past, it’s a good job fair for you. Sometimes a company that has announced that they will attend isn’t able to be there. That can be disappointing, but often there are last minute additions that make up for the ones that aren’t there.

After you’ve arrived at the job fair, there will often be a list of companies attending, and sometimes the jobs will be listed as well. Sit down before going inside and highlight the companies you want to visit. There is no point in going to each table if they do not have jobs for you.

Q: I’ll take anything. I just want a job. What should I say when I meet the recruiter?

Q: What do I do now? Do I just go to each table?

- Houston, Texas Reader

-Copperfield, Texas Reader

A: Don’t say, “I just want a job, and I’ll take anything!” Let me be the last person who hears that from you!

A: Before you go to a job fair, review the list of attending companies. You’ll find that information on the organizer’s website, and it changes right up until a day or so before the event. Some organizers are very good about updating while others may be too busy to update often.

AUGUST 4, 2017

40

The first question you’ll hear is always going to be what kind of job do you want? Prepare an answer that truly expresses what you want – and what you can do. Make sure that you have the skill set and

experience to handle that job.

Q: What should I wear? Can I bring my kids?

-Katy, Texas Reader A: You will stand out like a sore thumb if you wear casual clothes like jeans and flip flops. Trust me that people will notice you, but it will not be for the right reasons. Dress professionally for success.

Bringing your children is a no no because they will grab your attention when you need to be concentrating. In addition, kids don’t have fun going to a job fair. Just because it says “fair” doesn’t mean that there are balloons and cotton candy.

If you have any questions about interviewing, hiring, or work, I’d love to hear from you. Due to the volume of response, not every question will appear in the column, but most questions will receive an email response within 2 to 3 days.

Have a question for Diana?

Have you recently moved to Houston from another state, country or just another part of Texas?

If you came here to get a job, I’d like to hear about your experience.

STEM 101: Intro to tomorrow’s jobs

“The future of the economy is in STEM,” says James Brown, the executive director of the STEM Education Coalition in Washington, D.C. “That’s where the jobs of tomorrow will be.”

WHAT IS STEM?

There is no universally agreed-upon definition of STEM. Experts generally do agree, however, that STEM workers use their knowledge of science, technology, engineering, or math to try to understand how the world works and to solve problems.

Their work often involves the use of computers and other tools.

STEM occupations are identified in a variety of ways. This article uses a list based on the Standard Occupational Classification Manual to analyze occupations from six groups, including computer and mathematics; architecture and engineering; and life, physical, and social sciences. Healthcare occupations are excluded from this analysis, because they are described in a separate article.

STEM fields are closely related and build on each other. For example, math provides the foundation for physics—and physics, in turn, for engineering.

Engineers can apply their knowledge of physics to make high-tech devices that are useful for testing theories in physics. Advances in physics may then lead to advances in engineering and technology.

To better understand STEM, a brief description of each field follows.

SCIENCE

Science workers study the physical and natural world through observation and experimentation.

“Science is a lens to interpret the world,” says Julie Herrick, a volcanologist at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC. “My job is to expand knowledge.”

Science workers can also inform public policy, such as by providing data to support limits on the use of toxic chemicals.

The work of scientists often involves research, writing proposals and academic papers, and presenting findings. Science technicians collect samples, conduct experiments, and do other tasks to assist scientists in those efforts.

Workers rely on the scientific method to objectively test hypotheses and theories. The scientific method requires repeatable experiments that produce predictable and observable data. When the data matches a theory’s predictions, the experiment supports that theory.

Theories with the most supportive evidence are adopted but may continue to evolve, based on new evidence.

Disciplines in science are categorized based on the part of the universe they study: space sciences, AUGUST life 4, 2017 earth sciences, chemistry, and phys46 sciences,

ics. For example, the life sciences study the living world, such as plants or the human body; disciplines include ecology, genetics, neuroscience, pathology, and nutrition.

TECHNOLOGY

Technology workers use science and engineering to create and troubleshoot computer and information systems. For example, some tech workers develop software applications and build and maintain computer networks and databases.

Technology work connects people, making all forms of communication—including business transactions, video sharing, and mobile browsing— faster and less expensive.

The work often involves designing, testing, maintaining, and improving computer software, hardware, systems, and networks. “The goal is not only to solve a problem, but alsoto make that problem easier to solve in the future,” says Dan Parsons, an IT manager in Portland, Oregon.

STEM technology refers to disciplines in computer and information sciences, including those related to operating systems, artificial intelligence, programming, cryptography, and mobile computing.

ENGINEERING

Engineers and engineering technicians use math, science, and technology to solve real-world problems. The work often involves developing systems, structures, products, or materials. For example, a civil engineer might design a new train station to accommodate more passengers, and an environmental engineering technician might help create an environmental remediation device.

“Engineering makes things better and cheaper for everyone,” says Patrick Holm, a project civil engineer in Olympia, Washington. “Without it, we couldn’t live in the kind of society we know—with bridges, clean water, and cars.”

Disciplines in engineering are often categorized by industry, such as aerospace, petroleum, or textiles.

Major disciplines include civil, mechanical, industrial, electrical, and materials engineering.

MATHEMATICS

Math workers use numerical, spatial, and logical relationships to study and solve problems. For example, an operations research analyst helps organizations identify practices that improve efficiency, and a mathematical technician applies standard formulas to technological problems in engineering and physical sciences.

Mathematics is the technical foundation for science, engineering, and technology. The work of-

ten involves finding patterns in data or abstract logic. These patterns can be used to draw general conclusions about data, to test mathematical relationships, and to model the real world. Disciplines in math include algebra, statistics, calculus, game theory, and geometry.

REWARDS AND CHALLENGES STEM work, like that of most jobs, is both rewarding and challenging. You might work on an interesting project that yields meaningful results, for example—but, to complete it, you might need to repeat an experiment many times or navigate complex government regulations.

REWARDS

Many STEM workers find their jobs intellectually stimulating. They enjoy collaborating with people who share their enthusiasm and working with cutting-edge technology.

“STEM offers a cooperative, innovative, and exciting work environment that is unparalleled,” says Aimee Kennedy, vice president for education and STEM learning at Battelle Memorial Institute in Columbus, Ohio.

Depending on the occupation, STEM work may be creative and produce tangible results. For example, a biologist might make a discovery in the laboratory and publish that research in a scientific journal. A civil engineering technician may help design a storage facility or other structure and then assist in working with the contractor who builds it.

Workers in STEM occupations also enjoy the variety of problems they solve. “Every problem is a unique challenge to figure out,” Holm says. “Even if you use similar skills, the way you apply them is different.”

Because many STEM fields involve rapid change, workers’ professional development is also dynamic. “There’s always something more to learn,” says Herrick. “Don’t expect an end.”

CHALLENGES

As rewarding as STEM work may be, it can sometimes be demanding and tedious.

For example, projects may take hundreds of hours over weeks or months to complete. And routine tasks may include cataloging data, filling out paperwork, and documenting observations. “There’s a lot of sitting in front of a computer,” says Frances Tirado, a mathematical statistician at BLS in Washington, DC.

VOL. 22 ISSUE 1102

Other challenges vary, depending on the field. For example, many jobs in scientific research receive short-term financial support, so these workers often worry about funding. And engineering workers must juggle different priorities, from clients and the government, while keeping a project on schedule.

“There are a lot of demands to satisfy,” Holm says, “so you can’t always do what you think is the best solution.”

Despite the challenges, however, STEM workers often report feeling respected and fulfilled.

“You feel that what you’re doing is important and you matter as an employee,” says Tirado. “People value your skills, listen to your ideas, and think that what you do is magic.”

GETTING STARTED

STEM experts recommend that prospective STEM workers have a combination of skills, education, and experience for getting started in these careers.

SKILLS

Along with having a technical foundation, prospective STEM workers must have strong thinking and communication skills. “People focus so much on math and science that they often ignore these skills,” Holm says. Ability to consider problems in different ways andthen being able to explain a solution clearly is essential for success in STEM occupations.

Thinking skills. Critical and creative thinking help STEM workers in problem solving to detect mistakes, gather relevant information, and understand how different parts or systems interact with each other.

STEM workers also need thinking skills to develop innovative, cost-effective solutions. Workers who think creatively may approach a problem differently—for example, by adapting knowledge from other disciplines. “Oftentimes, you’re the last resort for a problem because no one else could solve it,” Tirado says. “Creativity can help you come up with a solution no else could.”

Communication skills. Communication skills are important for working well with others and conveying information clearly, both orally and in writing. “Flaws in communication are a common source of conflict,” says Parsons. “You’ll usually work with or for someone else, so having these skills will make you stand out.”

Communication skills include technical writing, public speaking, interpersonal communication, and the ability to explain difficult concepts simply. Learning some of these skills may seem intimidating at first, but practice helps. For example, you can improve your public speaking skills by practicing in front of small groups until you feel comfortable with a bigger audience.

EDUCATION AND TRAINING

Many STEM occupations require at least a bachelor’s degree. More technical and advanced jobs, including those in research, usually require a master’s or doctoral degree.

But STEM isn’t only for people who have a bachelor’s or graduate degree. Many occupations typically require an associate’s

degree, and a small number require either some college but no degree or a high school diploma or equivalent.

Although you may already know which specific occupation you want to pursue, don’t fret if you are unsure. Some disciplines, such as math and physics, are useful in many STEM fields. “Students should follow what they want to do,” Brown says. “There are lots of options in STEM, in whatever area you’re interested in.”

Workers in some STEM occupations may need training after they are hired to gain competency in the occupation. Others may need licensure, depending on the type of work that they do.

High school diploma. You don’t have to wait until college to prepare for a STEM career. Most high schools offer a variety of math and science classes, for example. STEM workers recommend pursuing challenging ones—such as Advanced Placement (AP) courses—to improve your transcript and adjust to the demands of STEM work. “Take as many rigorous classes as you can,” Kennedy says, “as early as you can.”

Surveying and mapping technicians is an example of a STEM occupation typically open to high school graduates.

Associate’s degree. An associate’s degree is awarded upon completion of an undergraduate program that typically lasts at least 2 years.

Occupations that require an associate’s degree include chemical technicians, computer network support specialists, and mechanical drafters.

Bachelor’s degree. A bachelor’s degree usually requires 4 years of undergraduate study. Many STEM occupations require this degree, including actuaries, civil engineers, and information security analysts.

But don’t become so focused on one discipline that you overlook the importance of developing a broad, well-rounded education. “You get problems from anywhere,” says Tirado, “so you need to know a little about everything.” Use college electives to sample other STEM disciplines or completely different areas of study, such as the humanities.

Graduate degree. Still other STEM occupations typically require a master’s or doctoral degree.

A master’s degree usually requires 1 or 2 years beyond a bachelor’s degree. Many master’s programs also require students to write a research paper, known as a thesis. STEM occupations that typically require a master’s degree include epidemiologists, hydrologists, and statisticians.

A doctoral degree usually requires at least 3 years beyond a bachelor’s degree. To receive a doctoral degree, students must often complete a dissertation, a lengthy research project that contributes new knowledge to the field. Occupations that require a doctoral degree include animal scientists, computer and information research scientists, and physicists.

EXPERIENCE

In some STEM occupations, work experience in a related occupation is required at the entry level.

For example, computer and information systems managers usually need at least 5 years of experience, first honing their technical skills in lowerlevel roles before moving to management.

Even in occupations that don’t require it, however, work experience often sets you apart. “Companies want to bring you up to speed so you can be productive quickly,” says Holm. “But there are so many skills you don’t learn in school that you can only learn on the job.”

STEM workers advise you to look for internship, volunteer, and research opportunities as early as possible: while you are still in school, not waiting until afterward. Your career advisor or counselor may have information about businesses that offer these types of opportunities.

Before applying for such positions, be sure to document in a résumé or portfolio your experience and accomplishments. Highlight school or work assignments that confirm your qualifications and that help set you apart from other candidates.

Getting experience before graduation also can help you determine whether a STEM career will be right for you. “It’s important to find something that excites you,” Herrick says, “because working in STEM means making an investment in a passion.”

As you broaden your experience, you should also broaden your network. “Your network is more important than your résumé,” says Brown, and should include mentors, business colleagues, and instructors. Develop a network by meeting people through work, volunteer, and internship positions; joining a club or working on a research project; and participating in job fairs, industry events, and online discussion boards.

Work experience can teach valuable lessons, such as how to cope with stress and persevere despite difficulties. “You must be comfortable knowing that you will struggle and won’t know all the answers,” says Tirado. “But, as a result, you’re going to learn much more and become a better worker.”

Profiles include information about job duties, wages, typical education, job outlook, and more. The OOH is available online at www.bls.gov/ooh.

What You Need to Know About a Career as a

NETWORK ENGINEER By: Amy Armitage Network engineering is a process in which an independent contractor or company will determine the internetworking requirements for switched networks and then develop and implement the hardware or software in order to meet the needs of the system’s users. Network engineers are the spines of the computer infrastructure for any business. The larger businesses have the ability to employ several network engineers whereas other smaller businesses often hire a consultant who is summoned only when the network has problems or needs an update.

In order to join the team of network engineers, you must have the necessary skills as well as a love of computers. As with any other career, you also need to follow certain steps in order to accomplish your goal. These are the top five requirements needed to become a network engineer.

1. While you’re in college, take another computer related field. Although it’s called network engineering you don’t need an engineering degree. You also have the option of studying a totally different major or minor than information technology (IT).

2.

While in school, try and hook a job in the campus IT office. Some colleges hire students as IT support techs that work in the dorm and classroom environments. The job usually counts as part of your computer studies and it is a great opportunity to build up your resume.

3.

Learn how all different types of operating systems work. This is important because there are many businesses that use different systems for their computers and company laptops as well. Make sure to familiarize yourself with all of them, otherwise you will not be the broad-based network engineer that companies will hire.

4. If you get an internship, try and pick a company that specifically has an IT department or is an IT consulting firm. There are a lot more students majoring in the computer-related industries these days. That’s why the experience you acquire needs to be a cut above the rest.

5.

Article source: Expert Articles

Communication is a key element in a networking engineer’s career.

Therefore, if this is the profession that you choose, you will often be working with others that are not as tech savvy as you will be. You need to be able to speak your special lingo in laymen’s terms. If you have a problem with communication, perhaps taking a communications skills class can help you improve.

There are the chosen few that have had the ability to become engineers without a college degree. These individuals have been able to use their innate computer knowledge to gain some success in the field. However, they are usually in the minority of network engineers because many who study on their own will lack other essential skills needed for this profession. Employers looking to hire a network engineer will most likely go for one who holds a degree. They want to hire an engineer that will be able to adapt to many different scenarios and handle various issues that might arise. Network engineers that hold de-

grees have the upper hand because they know how to tackle any situation due to their advanced training.

It is always best to take it a step further after getting a degree in computer science or IT. There are important certifications to obtain that prove your knowledge of the important hardware and software used by network engineers.

These certifications are named after the companies that make the equipment and/or the software, such as Cisco, Microsoft, Novell and Oracle. Cisco certifications are the most numerous, and most important. Of all of them, the Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) is the “expert level” certification, and is held by fewer than three network engineers in a hundred.

Be prepared to work long hours and shifts that might start in the evenings.

Businesses usually want all of the network maintenance completed at night in order to avoid disruption during normal business hours. There will also be many tasks that you will perform such as: • • • • • • • • • • •

Managing anti-spam and viral protection; Monitoring usage of the network; Suggesting and providing IT solutions for business and management issues; Installing, maintaining and supporting existing and new server and hardware/software infrastructure; Ensuring that all of the IT equipment being used is in compliance with the industries’ standards; Using the most cost-efficient and -effective ways to use the servers; Setting up passwords, user accounts and permissions; Monitoring the way in which employees use the web; Providing training to other users with varying levels of IT knowledge; Working closely with other departments and IT staff members; and Keeping all internal networks up and running.

Although there are many tasks to handle when you’re a network engineer, the opportunity to take a love and knowledge of computers and expand it into a fulfilling career can be a life-changing experience. If you use the tools available to you, there is no reason that you can’t obtain a degree, some industry certifications or both in this fast-growing field.

EMPLOYERS CORNER

How Computer Training Changes the Corporate Landscape

by Harvey Preston

COMPUTER TRAINING AND BUSINESS: CHANGING THE CORPORATE LANDSCAPE

Computers are an essential part of everyday life, and as such computer training isn’t so much a luxury as it is an essential part of any job. Computer training can happen internally at any company or can be outsourced to a computer training franchise; either way, adequate training for employees is imperative for a business to succeed in our technology-driven market.

Comprehensive computer training is changing the way corporations operate.

Converting to thorough computer training helps your business train employees faster and more effectively. Because computer training enterprises have flexible programs, your employees can learn in ways that adapt to each individual.

ADAPTABLE COMPUTER TRAINING WORKS FOR EVERYONE

Flexibility in your computer training is a win for the company and the employee. By adapting your methods to using computer training, you can reach a wider audience, which in turn helps with employee engagement.

Computer training franchises can easily cater to a variety of learning styles and even devices. Some training specialists out there can even help you convert your existing training materials—white pages or flash-based courses—into formats that will work on all devices.

DIFFERENT LEARNING STYLES

FAST AND EFFECTIVE COMPUTER TRAINING SAVES TIME AND MONEY

Because not everyone learns the same way and at the same speed, training needs to be relatively flexible. A computer training franchise—New Horizons is one example—has the tools that can adapt computer training to each individual.

FASTER TRAINING TIMES

This kind of flexibility is great news for any company’s bottom line. Employees that are already well-versed in one aspect of the training will not need to waste time sitting in a training session for it. Additionally, computer learning allows each student can learn at his or her own pace, so those who learn quickly can move through the training without waiting for those who are behind.

Computer training businesses have turned long training courses into shorter tidbits that employees can learn and apply right away. Shortening training time helps retention, as studies suggest that it is better to learn a little bit at a time rather than spending hours learning the same things.

According to research by Forrester, 66% of employees use more than one device for work. Desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones are all increasingly important in the day to day workforce, and as such computer training materials need to be adaptable to each format.

MORE EFFECTIVE LEARNING

It is easy to dismiss the need to have computer training available to employees on their smartphones and tablets, but consider that these are devices that your employees carry in their pockets. Being able to utilize their downtime—riding the bus, waiting in line—employees can be more fully engaged.

There are a variety of components of computer training that can be invaluable to businesses in every industry. When a business can train its employees quickly and effectively, it can save itself a lot of time and money.

The fast pace of today’s world—high speed internet, quick load times, instant information at our fingertips—has influenced our concentration. People learn and focus in short bursts, which means that companies have had to adapt.

Converting long-winded training courses into smaller, 15-20 minute bursts results in more effective learning in two major ways: first, as existing employees learn bits at a time, they can apply the new processes to their work immediately, thereby learning it better. Second, new employees are not bombarded with information for hours at a time, which helps them retain what they have learned.

Some businesses choose to develop their own computer training methods, while others enlist the help of specialists to do the training for them. Regardless of which route your business chooses, implementing computer training methods into your existing training program—or replacing old programs with 4, 2017 52 AUGUST computer training entirely—will help your bottom line.

DIFFERENT DEVICES

THE BOTTOM LINE: YOUR BOTTOM LINE CANNOT AFFORD TO SKIP COMPUTER TRAINING

Your employees are your most valuable asset. Training them quickly and effectively is one of the easiest ways that your company can save money. Adaptable learning through computer training can save your company money and engage your employees. You can’t afford NOT it. 1102 VOL.to22use ISSUE
