it’s all about her right now. Remind her that she did the nicest thing possible many years ago when she agreed to spend the rest of her life with you. If she’s really stubborn about this idea — something tells me she is, and in the very best way possible — promise her that whether you win or lose this fight you’ll buy that boat someday and name it after her.

HIS WIFE’S FINAL GIFT Dear Dave, My wife and I have been married for 12 years. Last month we found out she has terminal cancer and only six months to live. We’ve been fortunate enough to become fairly wealthy during our lives together, and she wants to buy me a boat. We always went fishing together, and her last wish is for me to have the boat I’ve always wanted. Even with this prognosis, I’ll be okay financially when she’s gone. Still, I can’t stand the thought of this. It’s just too painful. Do you have any advice?

- Andrew

Dear Andrew, Buddy, I am so very sorry. I hope you realize that you have the sweetest woman on earth for your wife. Even with all she’s going through, her thoughts are of you and your happiness. That is one amazing lady. The first thing I’d tell you both is to make sure your faith is intact. Hug her a lot, and keep talking to, praying with, and loving on each other. Be there for her all you can, and keep in mind that doctors can be wrong. It happens a lot, believe it or not, so don’t give up hope.

In other words, just tell her the truth and be real. If she goes home to be with the Lord, there might come a day down the road when the pain you’ll feel has dulled just a little, and you find yourself sitting on that fishing boat that’s named after her. That would be okay. I’m sure she would be smiling at you while you reeled in a big one. But you’ve got more important things to take care of right now — namely her. God bless you both, Andrew.

— Dave

T R A S H I N G YO U R T R U C K Dear Dave, My husband has two trucks, one of which is a work truck at his construction site. It’s in really bad shape, and he wants to take $16,000 out of savings to buy another one. We only have $17,000 in the account. What should we do?

- Caroline

Dear Caroline, Your husband wants to drain your savings to buy a $16,000 vehicle and roll it up to a construction site? I think this guy has been watching too many macho-man truck commercials. In the real world, some hard hat will run into it with a piece of heavy equipment or drop a load of bricks off center and put some big time damage on this truck before he puts 1,000 miles on it. He wants to buy way too much truck. This kind of decision will wreck your finances and spell bad news for the business, too. You can buy a perfectly good work truck for $6,000 or $7,000, and that’s what he needs to do. This truck is going to get destroyed, and trashing an inexpensive truck is a much better idea than trashing the family finances!

— Dave

If she brings up the boat again, just smile and let her know

CERTIFICATES: A

FA S T

T R AC K

C A R E E R S

By: Elka Torpey

No time or money to earn a college degree? No problem. An educational

certificate may be a good option, but do your homework first. That way, you’ll know if a certificate is the best choice for you. Certificates are non-degree awards for completing an educational program of study after high school. Typically, students finish these programs to prepare for a specific occupation. And they do so in a relatively short period of time: Most certificates take less than a year to complete, and almost all are designed to take less than 2 years. Among the questions about certificates that you’ll need to have answered are the following: • What occupations can certificates prepare me for? • What are some benefits and drawbacks to getting a certificate? • How can I find a program that’s right for me?

OCCUPATIONS AND CERTIFICATES

Certificates are one of the most popular types of post-secondary education awards. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), in 2010–11, U.S. schools awarded more than 1 million certificates— more than the number of associate’s (942,000), master’s (731,000), or doctoral degrees (164,000). About 1.7 million bachelor’s degrees were awarded in JANUARY 38same that year. 6, 2017

Certificates and certificate programs differ in many ways. Knowing about certificates, and whether an occupation requires one, is the key to choosing the right program.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT CERTIFICATES

Before enrolling in a certificate program, it helps to understand who earns certificates, how certificates differ from licensing and certification, and how school options and costs vary. Who earns certificates. People of varied ages and educational backgrounds earn certificates. Most certificate programs are designed for people who have at least a high school diploma or general equivalency diploma (GED). People usually earn certificates to help them prepare for a specific occupation; in other words, certificates are for people who want to train for a job rather than to earn a college degree. In some cases, however, a certificate can pave the way to college because certain programs’ credits count toward a future degree. And for some people, certificate programs help them prepare for licensure, certification, or other career-related qualifications. Certificates versus licenses and certification. Certificates are not the same as—and typically do not lead directly to— professional licenses and certification.

Certificates show that a person has completed a course of study. Licenses are required to practice in some occupations, including teaching and cosmetology. And certifications, which often involve assessments and documentation of experience, show that workers have attained competency in an occupation. Sometimes, state licensing requirements are based on professional certification standards. Schools issue certificates, states or other governments issue licenses, and professional or industry organizations usually issue certifications. Prospective certificate enrollees should find out what is typically required to get a job in the occupation they hope to enter. Then, they should learn whether the program they are considering will help them meet those requirements.

HOW SCHOOL OPTIONS AND COSTS VARY.

According to NCES, private for-profit schools and public community colleges award most certificates. Private nonprofit schools and other types of public schools award certificates in much smaller numbers. Where people earn certificates varies by field of study. For example, people were more likely to earn certificates in business or information technology at ISSUE public1072 community colleges, VOL. 22

while they were more likely to earn certificates in cosmetology and in healthcare at private, for-profit schools. School costs vary, too, especially by institution type. Public school programs are usually less expensive than private school programs.

CERTIFICATE OCCUPATIONS

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has identified 33 occupations as typically requiring a certificate or other postsecondary nondegree award for people entering those occupations. In 2010–11, according to NCES, the most popular disciplines for certificate programs were healthcare, personal and culinary services, and mechanic and repair technologies and technicians. But people also earned certificates in a wide range of other occupational areas, such as computer and information sciences and protective services.

hired without having a certificate, so earning one might not be necessary. Some schools, for example, offer programs in accounting, early childhood education, human resources management, marketing, or paralegal studies. But O*NET data show that only small percentages of workers in these occupations reported needing a certificate. More commonly, workers in these occupations reported needing a bachelor’s degree, associate’s degree, or high school diploma. The expense associated with earning a certificate might not be worth it if wages in the related occupations are low, jobs are scarce, or employers do not generally require workers to have the award. Prospective students should do their homework about the kind of certificate they need, if any, for the occupation that interests them—and not be duped into getting a credential they do not need.

BENEFITS AND DRAWBACKS TO CERTIFICATES

CERTIFICATE-RELATED EMPLOYMENT

To reap the benefits of a certificate, people typically must work in an occupation related to the award. Those who do, the CEW report says, earn 37 percent more than workers with a high school diploma and almost as much as workers with an associate’s degree. In contrast, those who work in an occupation unrelated to their certificate earn about the same as workers whose highest level of education is a high school diploma.

NO CERTIFICATE REQUIRED?

There are many reasons why people might not work in a field associated with their certificate. Sometimes, for example, jobs in a particular field may be limited and, therefore, competitive for the workers qualified to fill those jobs. Other times, this nondegree award might be less desirable than an associate’s or bachelor’s degree or other qualifications. Or perhaps a certificate holder may not meet the certification or licensure requirements for the occupation. Furthermore, workersVOL. in some occupations are 22 ISSUE 1072

Accreditation and other approval. Any school can be accredited, but only legitimate ones are accredited by valid, independent, third-party organizations. Accreditation shows that a school or its programs have met established standards of quality. To be accredited, a school or program usually is measured against set performance standards, is evaluated onsite, and is monitored or reevaluated periodically. also have lists of programs that have been approved as meeting the educational requirements for licensure. And professional or industry organizations may endorse certain programs, such as those that can help people prepare for certification. If an occupation requires licensure or certification, it is especially important that the school’s certificate program is approved by the relevant licensing body or certifying organization.

There are many reasons why people choose to earn certificates. These awards give people career-related skills and might help them get a job. In addition, data show that workers who have a certificate often enjoy earnings premiums. But the payoff for earning a certificate isn’t the same for everyone. People who work in the occupation in which they earned their certificate usually benefit more financially than those who work outside their certificate field. And a certificate isn’t always the most direct path to entering an occupation.

checking out a school’s accreditation status or whether a program has been state or industry approved, reading gainful employment disclosures, and talking to alumni or teachers.

Alumni and teachers. Other sources of program information are the people who know it. Talk to alumni or teachers to get a sense of the employment outcomes of recent graduates. Ask alumni whether they think the program helped them get a job. Find out from teachers whether employers actively recruit a program’s graduates or how difficult it typically is for graduates to get jobs in the field of their certificate.

FINDING THE RIGHT PROGRAM

There are several ways to evaluate whether a certificate is necessary for a particular occupation and how reputable individual programs are. Study occupational requirements, schools and programs, and the job market for an occupation to make an informed decision.

OCCUPATIONAL REQUIREMENTS

Each occupation has specific requirements. But it may be difficult to learn what those requirements are. Research occupations by contacting workers directly or by visiting the websites of professional associations. These sources should be able to explain what training is needed and why. And keep in mind that occupational requirements may change over time, so make sure the information is current.

SCHOOLS AND PROGRAMS

When considering a certificate program and its reputation, prospective students should look closely at each school. Good ways to verify the quality of a certificate program include

Direct discussion with alumni and teachers can provide other insight into programs, too. Are instructors knowledgeable about the subjects they teach? Do students feel prepared to enter the occupation at the end of training? However helpful these conversations are, though, they should supplement—not replace—other types of verification.

THE JOB MARKET

Many certificates are offered in career areas that are in high demand. But that’s not always the case. And the job market for workers with a certificate might be different from that for workers with a degree or other credentials. Whether jobs are likely to be available for people with a certificate also depends on where they live and if employers there are hiring workers with this type of credential. To learn more about the job market, contact trade associations and talk to workers in the occupation. Find out what employers look for when hiring—and if they expect to have jobs.

Targeting Professional/ Administrative Positions

BRING A LOT OF RESUMES! show your versatility.

A lady at my church recommended that I call you to get some direction on my job search. I really need assistance because I am not getting replies to my resume. I have been in accounting in the oil and gas industry for more than 12 years. I went to Houston Community College and got certification as a Medical Administrative Assistant (CMAA) and in Medical Business Office. My goal is to do medical billing and coding, and I have contacted multiple large hospitals. I don’t understand why I’m not getting anywhere since I now have the certification. I have been looking at the big job boards, and when I email the companies on those websites, no one ever calls or replies. -Houston, Texas Reader

It was a pleasure speaking with you, and happily, I have some suggestions that may improve your experience. The bad news is that it is to get a6,job in medical billing JANUARY 2017 42hard

and coding without some experience. Most people in those positions started working at a clinic or doctors’ office and were promoted to billing and coding. Even with your certification, you don’t have the experience to take over such an essential function. The good news is that your accounting experience is in demand. Your resume emphasizes the oil and gas aspect of your experience, but the duties that you were consistently performing were simply accounting – Accounts P a y a b l e /A c c o u n t s R e c e i v a b l e . Your experience is a huge benefit for any company with that kind of opening. You might try for a job with a smaller company, and if you rise in the organization, you can use that experience to find another job. You need to stay in any position at least a year if possible. Working in a huge hospital is usually no more satisfying than working for a smaller company where you are more than a number. Your resume is confusing and doesn’t

Those giant job boards do not always pan out. They are bloated with jobs that are no longer available, and with jobs copied from their competitors. I do have to mention that JobSparx has local jobs near you, and it’s easy to pick up a magazine or go online to our website. We have been in business in Houston for 20 years, and that’s the kind of reliability that you need. Good luck to you.

Q: I saw an ad that fits my experience, but it didn’t give the name of the company. Why would they think that anyone would apply if the name of the company isn’t in the ad? There are several companies that I wouldn’t want to work for, and I don’t want to accidentally apply to one of those. I called and asked for the name, but they said it was a confidential search. What does that even mean? - Houston, Texas Reader

others in their industry to know that they are looking. Usually the perfect person is already employed and not actively looking – a “passive” candidate. Recruiters are able to call candidates with a highly specific skill set through research and knowledge of the industry. They usually call them while they are working, but it would not be professional for a firm to do that. Rather than demand the name of the company, you should have talked with the recruiter to see if the job fit you, and if you were interested in the job. 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?
