Governor Abbott To Lead Business Development Mission To Israel, Switzerland

SKILLED & TRADES

Tuesday, January 12, 2016

Austin - Governor Greg Abbott will lead a business development mission to Israel and Switzerland from Monday, January 18th through Friday, January 22nd, 2016. Governor Abbott’s trip will focus on increasing foreign direct investment in Texas. During the trip, the Governor will tour businesses, hold meetings with public officials and business executives in both countries, and participate at the World Economic Forum in Davos. This will be Governor Abbott’s third international business development trip since taking office. “The combination of Texas’ low-tax, low-regulation environment and our skilled workforce is attracting more foreign direct investment to make the Lone Star State a hub for global commerce,” said Governor Abbott. “Our proven model stands out among states and, indeed, among nations as a beacon for free enterprise and economic prosperity. I look forward to building ties with new international business partners and strengthening Texas’ economic relationships across the globe.” Governor Abbott’s trip comes after IBM’s 2015 Global Location Trends Facts & Figures report named Texas the #1 state in the United States for foreign and domestic investment, based on the number of jobs. “TexasOne is proud to support Governor Abbott in his efforts to expand business relationships and create additional trade opportunities for the State of Texas in Israel and Switzerland,” said Tracye McDaniel, President and CEO of Texas Economic Development Corporation and TexasOne. “We look forward to further strengthening economic ties in these key markets and to identifying opportunities to grow Texas’ target industries—life sciences, financial services, manufacturing and energy.” “Israel appreciates the close relationship that Governor Greg Abbott has nurtured, both economically and politically. We look forward to many more collaborations, especially in the areas of water, energy and technology,” said Consul General Eitan Levon, Consulate General of Israel to the Southwest United States. The trip will be sponsored and paid for by TexasOne, the state’s Economic Development Corporation. In September, Governor Abbott issued a statement following the release of IBM’s 2015 Global Location Trends Facts & Figures report, which named Texas the #1 state in the United States for foreign and domestic investment, based on number of jobs. IBM’s annual report examines the factors, strategies and decisions that drive companies to relocate or locate new operations and facilities around the world. “Texas is a state best characterized by its competitive advantage in diversity of talent, market and economic resources, and it’s no surprise we’ve again been named a top state for investment,” said Governor Abbott. “Unleashing the power of entrepreneurs and securing Texan’s freedom to innovate and aspire has - and always will be - the model of success for the Lone Star State, and I’m confident Texas will continue to lead the nation.” According to the report, the United States is the top-ranking country for foreign investment measured by number of jobs, with Texas being the top individual state.

Dave Says BY DAVE RAMSEY

Thankfulness & Boundaries Dear Dave, My fiancé and I are getting married in May. He’s a youth pastor, and I’m in grad school. His mom and dad found a home they think we’ll like, and they want to gift us money for a down payment. I’m not sure how I feel about this under our present circumstances. Do you think we should go ahead and accept when I’ll still be in school and we’ll still have debt to pay off?

I think this approach would be good for the boundary issues and for your finances! —Dave Welcome to Life Dear Dave, Our son just turned 8 years old. Is it time to start giving him an allowance? Dan

Emily Dear Dan, Dear Emily, Yo u n e e d t o g e t t o k n o w e a c h o t h e r before you buy a house together. I always recommend that young couples rent for a year and concentrate on each other, the new marriage, cleaning up any debts you have, and establishing an emergency fund. Then, after another year or so when you’ve had time to take control of your finances, the idea of looking for a home becomes much smarter.

Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money and business. He has authored five 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 and on the web at daveramsey.com.

21 Issue 1022 26 Vol. January 15 - January 22, 2016

There’s never a time for an allowance, no matter the child’s age. In my mind, that kind of thinking is the best way to plant the seeds of entitlement. You want your son growing up with the idea that he’s owed money simply because he’s alive.

Instead, work out a plan to pay him commissions. Assign him weekly chores that are age-appropriate. Then, when the work gets done, he gets paid. And guess what? If the work doesn’t get done, he doesn’t get paid! Not only do we want to I t s o u n d s l i k e y o u r f u t u r e i n - l a w s a r e teach a healthy work ethic, but we also really generous people. They’re tr ying to want him to learn that work creates money. do something nice for you two, but they Of course, there are some things a child kind of got out ahead of things with this should be expected to do without financial idea. And in the process, the y viola ted reward. Ever yone needs to pitch in and do some boundaries in your relationship with certain things to help out when they’re your fiancé. part of a family. But once you’ve taught My advice is to have a conversation with him about work, make sure to also teach your fiancé about all this and get on the h i m a b o u t t h e t h r e e u s e s f o r m o n e y — same page about what is the smart thing saving, spending, and giving. to do. Then the two of you need to have a loving discussion with his parents. Let him do most of the talking, and say thank you a lot, but let them know you both feel it would be best to start out by renting something for a year or so. Then after a little time has passed, tell them if they still want to help with a down payment you’d both ver y grateful.

Lessons on the basic handling of money are some of the best teachable moments you can have with your child. Not only does it make them more knowledgeable about finances, it helps them learn about life!

—Dave

the type of work Thuy does as that of a health educator, her job tasks differ from most of the health educators she knows. Other health educators with whom Thuy collaborates have more direct interaction with patients than she does in her research-based work. Job guidance from a mentor can be helpful. But it was especially important to Thuy, whose mentor helped her from the begin-ning to become involved in research and in promoting good health. In an occupation like Thuy’s, which can vary from one job to another, understanding why her work matters was a key factor in pursuing this career.

What do you do? I research cancer prevention and promote good health, help communities understand research data and how to use it, and promote best practices (ways of doing the same thing in different situations) that are based on evidence. I work with academic researchers, healthcare, professionals, community groups, and state and local health departments.

SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITY

The mikeroweWORKS Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that promotes hard work, supports the skilled trades, and challenges the persistent belief that a four-year degree is automatically the best path to take. The Foundation awards scholarships to men and women who have demonstrated an interest in and an aptitude for mastering a specific trade. Our focus is on supporting the specific skilled trades that help close the country’s skills gap and those that represent the significant bulk of our unfilled jobs. The Foundation has been instrumental in granting more than $3 million in scholarships to schools around the country, including Midwest Technical Institute, Tulsa Welding School, The Refrigeration School and Universal Technical Institute. One of the most important objectives of the mrW Foundation is to continually provide opportunities for financial aid to help those qualified individuals who are interested in learning a skill and mastering a trade. Toward that goal, we are continually creating a variety of scholarship programs with like-minded institutions and organizations. Each program has it’s own nuances but all are similar in that they intend to further Mike’s “PR Campaign for Hard Work.”

ASK Barely 20: I have had some bad luck with jobs. I loved my first job, but I had to move d u e t o a f a m i l y e m e r g e n c y, a n d I w a s n ’ t a b l e t o give notice. I loved that job. My most recent job ended up firing me! I really didn’t do anything wrong, but the supervisor fired me over nothing. Now I keep sending out resumes and don’t get any response. Is being fired going to keep me from getting another job? - H o u s t o n , Te x a s R e a d e r A: There is no way that future employers would know why you left each job unless you put it in your resume. Do not put it in your resume. In most cases, when companies are called for a background check, they will give very little information because they worry that they could be sued! They will give the dates when you worked, how much you made, your job t i t l e , a n d t h a t ’s a b o u t a l l t h e y c a n g i v e . S o m e companies still answer the question, “Is the candidate subject to rehire.” That question just establishes whether your last job would rehire you. There are many companies that simply refuse to rehire anyone! That will be your only problem with background checks, though. Being barely 20 means that your whole life is in front of you, and you can make it great. If you want a s p e c i f i c c a r e e r, y o u n e e d t o g e t t r a i n i n g i n i t and/or work in positions that may lead to that j o b .

I have been w o r k i n g i n t h e o i l i n d u s t r y, a n d I n e e d t o f i n d something more stable. Do you think I should contact a headhunter? - H o u s t o n , Te x a s R e a d e r A : Yes. You need to make sure tha t the recruiter you contact is a professional f ocusing on the IT industr y. I read your resume, and it is ver y well rounded, but it is wa y, wa y, wa y too long. You have managed to stretch it to 4 pages. Studies tell us tha t it takes a bout 6 seconds f or the a vera ge resume to be evalua ted. Yours will immedia tel y get put on the bottom of your list to be reviewed later. Later never happens! We want to know how stable you’ve been and what you’ve done lately. If you are telling us a bout a job from 10 years a go, you are wasting your time. If you were rich and famous back then, it might mildly interest us, but we are looking a t your last job and how long you stayed. When you are looking for your headhunter, do not hesitate to be ver y open with her/him. You might call it blunt, but you need to ask if they are interested in you.

You’re A What? GENETIC COUNSELOR B y the time many parents see Brenda Finucane, all they want is an expla nation for their child’s puzzling problems. It’s Brenda’s job to give parents that explanation and help them move forward. Brenda is a genetic counselor in Elwyn, Pennsylvania. Her job is to inform clients about genetic disorders and help them to understand and manage the disorder. Many families have struggled with a child’s problem for a long time, and Brenda helps give a name to some of their concerns. “For a lot of fami lies,” she says, “it can really be a big relief to finally have an answer.” One of Brenda’s areas of expertise is in a disorder called fragile X syndrome. This condition can result in physical, intellectual, emotional, or behavioral problems—and is a common cause of some disorders, such as autism.

Like nearly all genetic counselors, Brenda begins work on each case by meeting with clients and gathering medical and other infor mation. She uses this information to construct a “pedigree,” a specialized family tree. The pedigree is a health history of an individual’s biological family and includes detailed infor mation ranging from family members’ inher ited conditions, such as blindness and deaf ness, to their ages and causes of Vol. 21 Issue 1022 January 15 - January 22, death. 2016

A pedigree assists genetic counselors in mapping genetic patterns within the family. For example, Brenda might encounter a child whose genetic testing for autism has con firmed fragile X syndrome as the cause, and the mother has been identified as a carrier. The pedigree shows that a maternal aunt has a child with special needs, another maternal aunt is being treated for infertility, and the maternal grandfather is suffering from Parkin son’s disease. All of these can be attributed to the fragile X gene. Brenda’s role in such cases is multifac eted. First, she must translate the complex scientific concepts involved into language that the client can understand. Second, she must share the news with the client— sometimes the most difficult part of her job. “Often, families are hoping something will go away,” she says, “and I have to tell them that it won’t.” Finally, Brenda helps the client under stand how to deal with the condition. As Brenda says, “We help families adapt to the information they get from us.” For example, a parent might feel guilty about being the carrier of a genetic condition. Brenda helps the parent adapt emotionally, assuring him or her that guilt is a common reaction and explaining that our genetic makeup is not something we can control. In explaining a child’s genetic

condition, Brenda also makes parents aware of how the condition may progress, including its medical, educational, and psychological ramifications. She then directs clients to other resources, such as support organizations and healthcare or educational specialists, for more assistance. Genetic conditions have implications for the extended family, but the information often is too complex for the client to explain. A genetic counselor might write a letter summa rizing the condition to help clients share this information with other family members. When it first emerged about 50 years ago, genetic counseling focused primarily on prenatal testing to detect genetic conditions. But counseling services have evolved to keep pace with a greater knowledge of genetics and wider application of genetic diagnostic testing. Today, there are several types of genetic counselors, and their expertise covers thou sands of genetic conditions and spans the entire human life cycle. Genetic counselors work in a variety of specializations, such as cancer counseling, prenatal counseling, or pediatrics—Brenda’s specialty. And some counselors develop specific areas of expertise, as Brenda has with fragile X.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics does not have data on employment or wages for genetic counselors. According to the Ameri can Board of Genetic Counseling, however, there are roughly 2,400 certified genetic counselors in the United States. And they earn a median annual salary of about $63,000, according to data from the National Society of Genetic Counselors. Genetic counselors must have a master’s degree in genetic counseling from a program accredited by American Board of Genetic Counseling. There are currently 30 of these master’s programs nationwide, and admission to them usually requires completion of signifi cant undergraduate coursework in biological science. The programs combine scientific aspects of genetics with counseling study and take about 2 years to finish. In addition, most employers require certification, and some states require licensure.

organization that helps people who have developmental disabilities. She travels around the country to provide consul tations in schools, developing behavioral and educational plans for students with fragile X and other genetic syndromes. She also handles most of her own administrative tasks, such as scheduling and billing. All genetic counselors need science knowledge and interpersonal skills. That blend was what first appealed to Brenda, and that appeal has lasted more than 25 years. “I love the science, but I didn’t want to work in a lab,” she says. “Genetic counseling allows me to combine my lifelong interest in science with the opportunity to interact with families affected by genetic disease.”

Most genetic counselors work in medical offices and hospitals. Brenda, however, works for a nonprofit
