Don’t believe the myths you’ve heard.

JOBS POSTED DAILY AT JOBSPARX.COM VOL. 24 ISSUE 1183

Grow A Great Career in the Apartment Industry Become a part of an industry that supports more than 25.4 million jobs nationally and houses more than 34.6 million apartment residents. The local apartment industry directly creates nearly 40,000 jobs in the Houston area. In Harris County alone, 42 percent of residents live in multi-unit housing communities. And why wouldn’t they?

Students who complete the course will receive a certificate, as well as a listing of HAA member management companies.

HOW TO BECOME A FIRST-CLASS

r e d o C l a c i d Me

By Hannah George

Medical coding is a job for intelligent readers. Doctors forward the diagnosis and treatment details to the medical billing service companies.

Medical coding staff interprets those healthcare jargons, for instance, the names of diseases and assign them medical codes according to a universally accepted coding system. The billers send those claims with codes to the insurance companies for reimbursements. A claim might end up in acceptance or denial depending on the accuracy of the bill.

1. High School is the Basic Requirement.

There are no extraordinary requirements for this field. You need to pass high school and courses in mathematics, chemistry, biology, and computer skills aid in your studies as medical coders. An understanding of medical terminologies and anatomy can make things much easier.

2. College Degree is bet ter than an Associate Degree.

Although it is not essential, a degree in healthcare administration opens up newer avenues. You can land a better job. An associate degree lasts for 2 years while a bachelor degree takes 4 years. A bachelor's degree provides better chances of growth as a medical coder.

3. Choosing a School Affi liated with AHIMA or AAPC.

You must choose a school that is recognized by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) or the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC). It means they trust that particular college or school. The two bodies are authentic sources of medical billing & coding knowledge. Classes may require you to be physically or virtually present or both.

Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/expert/Hannah_George/2537507

You must confirm from the school about their passing percentage of certified students each year. It should be on the higher side. Ask the school if it invites companies for hiring those students on successful completion of their degrees or not?

12

You must enroll in the 4-year program to have a solid foundation before heading out in search of the perfect job. Medical billing services prefer those students with an associate degree or a bachelor's degree over candidates with just a certification.

1. Double-Check the Affi liation Status of For-Profi t Schools.

They are expensive and offer medical coding training as well. They facilitate older students and assist them in getting full-time jobs. Even if they charge more, the crucial thing is their affiliation with authorized organized such as AHIMA and AAPC. Don't let them rip you if they are not affiliated with at least one of the two bodies.

2. Becoming Part of AAPC and AHIMA Forums.

They are helpful for you to explore new possibilities. You can also learn more about medical coding and build a bond with experienced coders. Moreover, AHIMA and AAPC may have localized facilities where you live so you can go there and connect with them. Make them your first priority if you want to become a first-class medical coder.

Should I pay a tax professional to file my income taxes? By Chris Hogan Let’s be real. No one likes doing their taxes. There are so many rules that you may or may not be following correctly, even with the help of online software.

If your financial situation is straightforward, filing your own taxes could be your best bet. But the truth is, most of us could benefit from having a tax professional provide their expertise.

Whether you’re a planner or a procrastinator, this article will help you decide if you should use a tax professional or file your taxes yourself. Don’t worry, I’m going to make this easy for you!

DO YOU NEED A TAX PROFESSIONAL? You’ve heard me talk about the importance of getting professional help to build and protect your wealth. Now, I’m not just talking about working with a financial advisor. That’s one person you need on your side, but they’re not the only person. Another person you need to meet with is a tax professional.

Now, even if you could file on your own, you need to decide if you want to. Is it the best use of your time? Do you like crunching numbers? If not, you might want to use a tax pro to save yourself the time and headache that can come with self-filing.

YOU NEED A TAX PRO IF… In some circumstances, you absolutely need to work with a tax pro. Do any of these apply to you?

• • • • • • • • •

You bought or sold property in the last year You own a business You do a large amount of freelance work You have a lot of investments You experienced major life changes (marriage, birth of a child, divorce) in the last year You have multiple jobs You give charitable donations You intend to itemize expenses You wonder how the 2017 Tax Bill affects you

If you’re still not sure, I would encourage you to work with a tax pro. When it comes to the IRS, it’s better to play it safe now than regret something later!

DON’T BELIEVE THE MYTHS YOU’VE HEARD Some people may think they’ll be better off using software than working with a tax pro. That’s likely because they’ve bought into one or more of the tax myths out there. Maybe you’re familiar with these myths, or even believed them yourself.

Myth #1: A tax pro costs too much money The cost of working with a professional to file your taxes can vary widely, depending on how complex your finances are. On average, fees range from $176 to $457. The higher costs are for those who have extra forms, like if you have rental property or state income taxes. Before you decide to file on your own, listen up: A recent survey of 2,000 Dave Ramsey Facebook fans found that people who worked with a tax expert got an average of $791 more in their refunds than those who self-filed.

“If you’re still not

sure, I would encourage you to work with a tax pro. When it comes to the IRS, it’s better to play it safe now than regret something later!

Myth #2: If I use tax software, my results will be 100% accurate I don’t know about you, but I’ve seen my computer software do some wacky things. Call it user error if you want, but computers and software aren’t perfect.

No, a human tax pro isn’t perfect, either. But the good ones will back up their work with some kind of guarantee. And, you can ask a tax pro questions that are specific to your situation. Try doing that with software.

Myth #3: It will be faster to do it myself The American Action Forum estimates that taxpayers spend an average of 17 hours doing paperwork and preparing to file their taxes. Seriously, you need to ask yourself if filing your own taxes is worth the time and effort. Yes, you’ll still need to gather receipts and other paperwork if you meet with a tax pro. But if you keep up with that paperwork during the year, it shouldn’t take that much time to get things in order. Certainly not 17 hours…

Think about it this way: If a tax pro finds even one deduction, it was probably worth the cost. Not only that, but the fee you pay them may be deductible on Source: next year’s tax return!

MARCH 15, 2019 22

“

People will ask me, “Hogan, how do I know if I need to work with a tax professional?” I get it. You want to save money where you can. There are some situations where you can probably file by yourself. For instance, if you’re a single filer with no dependents to claim and don’t want to itemize any deductions, you’re probably okay to file your taxes on your own.

She’s authored three best-selling books, including Love Your Life, Not Theirs and Smart Money Smart Kids, which she co-wrote with her father, Dave Ramsey.

HOW

WIND POWER'S PROVIDING JOBS FOR

10 YEARS nger)

o L y l b (Proba While some sectors of the US economy recover, the common small business still feels the pinch. If you've been hit particularly hard by the economy, lost your job, or had trouble finding more than seasonal work, a wind-energy related career may provide just the stability you need. Among other jobs, wind energy demands engineering, heavy equipment, day labor, janitorial and guard duty experience, and careers in wind are growing – almost certainly for the next 10 years – probably longer. In many cases, staying power comes from state-set Renewable Energy/Portfolio Standards (RES, RPS) that obligate utilities to install energy farms, but even when energy targets are met, momentum and invested interest helps installations exceed them.

There is no typical wind-farm size, but some can contain hundreds of turbines; huge pieces of machinery that push the limits of transport, arriving

48

MARCH 15, 2019

in single pieces. Planning, building, transporting, foundations, constructing, and maintaining even a single wind turbine is a lot of coordinated work; even the massive blades are glued together by careful eyes and hands. All of this is good news for industrial workers who've been hit especially hard by the economy.

RETOOLING AND PROGRESS In response to the disastrous effects of the economic slump, one US city reacted brilliantly by retooling its existing resources: Detroit, MI. Once the clear industrial powerhouse for automobile production, many of the factories that experienced severe downsizing adapted their manufacturing facilities to the wind industry, according to a joint report by the AWEA, BGA and USW(1). The report also describes

VOL. 24 ISSUE 1183

significant state incentives to attract new and revitalize existing businesses, including a business group that shaves 18 months off wind production schedules. Additionally, a recent AWEA state profile for Michigan(2) outlays nearly 470 Megawatts (MW) of wind power under construction (equal to almost 200 2.5MW towers), and Michigan has nearly ten times that quantity “in the build queue”. Additionally, in the two years between the joint report AWEA's state profile, about six facilities were added to Michigan's wind manufacturing base, with each report highlighting a separate statewide RES goal of 10% and 25, by 2015 and 2025 respectively. All of this means that Michigan is quite serious about rebuilding its manufacturing roots using the wind industry, despite past troubles.

Another state has seriously pursued wind farms: Texas. Almost three times larger (according to Google) than Michigan, Texas met its 2025 RES target years ago, but that doesn't mean it's stopping. In fact, its Electric Reliability Council (as quoted in Mechanical Engineering (7)) thinks that anywhere between 17,000 and 35,000MW of new wind installations are feasible by 2032 (that's between 6,800 and 14,000 new 2.5MW turbines).

Somebody's got to build that. Indeed, state profiles from AWEA again show that over 22,000 MW are in the Texas queue – more than tripling its third-quarter 2012 capacity – and turbines are added at twice Michigan's rate, with the same number of wind facilities (and growing) (3).

A PAST PROJECT AND FUTURE FARMS Texas is known for all things big, but while they're off building the largest state capacity, one of the world's biggest wind farms was installed in Oregon. Originally slated to provide 900MW from 300 turbines, the Shepherds Flat Wind Farm (4) was downgraded slightly in capacity, instead installing more turbines (10). Whether this was due to cost or surface area, more installations is more work. This flexibility indicates a competitive market, good news for domestic workers; not only because it boosts local labor, but domestic manufacturing growth means more domestic companies providing the parts: Perhaps you've heard of General Electric (5)? While Shepherds Farm opened near the end of 2012, it's important to see the history: Wind farms this size require impressive manpower, and even bigger farms are coming.

JOB LOSSES OFFSET BY WIND Jeffrey Winters, an author for Mechanical Engineering (7), describes how in 2012 over 40% of new energy additions were wind, ahead of natural gas. He also shows that coal has been in sharp decline: From 2009-2012, US wind installations amounted to 30.7 GW while coal amounted to 16.7 GW (1 GW = 1,000MW).

This means even more when you examine total US coal utilization, which has been dropping like a rock: 2012's utilization was at almost half of 2008' (7).

A similar examination of the British energy sector shows that massive job losses have already occurred in energy sectors like coal, gas and utilities; that hundreds of thousands more jobs will disappear in the near future, and then mentions that renewables such as wind are actually offsetting this problem (6). Considering the potential for increasingly strong job competition down the road, this is a good time to look for wind energy jobs.

JOBS IN DEMAND: DIRECT A US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report (9) offers helpful information on jobs within three phases of wind energy: Manufacturing, Development, and Operations and Maintenance (O&M). For each of these three phases, the report describes over 35 jobs: engineering from most disciplines, 13 types of general manufacturing (like welding, machinist, or production manager), scientists ranging from atmospheric to environmental, and many construction jobs. Also included are logistical analysts, lawyers,

VOL. 24 ISSUE 1183

asset and land specialists, and “wind techs” who service turbines – including failure analysis, supplies ordering, and scheduling – through the turbine's warranty period, and beyond.

ONGOING JOBS – 10 YEARS AND BEYOND The warranty period is not just an idle fact: Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM's) will typically service their equipment for 10-20 years, via their staff and procedures. Near the end of the warranty period, equipment owners (like city governments, utilities, commercial and private interests) are faced with new challenges: where to find qualified wind techs, and their aging equipment. Additionally, to obtain incentives, depreciation benefits or technology improvements, owners may decide (out of cycle) that it's time to change equipment, which renews wind jobs all over again. And one final warranty point is worth driving home: The US has been installing utility-scale wind turbines since at least the mid-90's; warranty turnover is happening all the time.

JOBS IN DEMAND: INDIRECT Wind farms, just like any other business, require secretaries, human resources, janitors, and security guards. Transportation personnel have to deliver massive parts, raw construction materials, and haul away waste. Not all of this is done on the road; some parts must travel by rail, others by water, and in fact – as the market for offshore wind farms develops – water transportation is about to become even more important to seafaring laborers.

EMERGING JOBS – OFFSHORE While other countries have significant offshore wind developments – and US offshore potential is also large – the job market for offshore wind energy is not “there yet” because our waters are deep. But people are working on the issues: Traditional land-based wind turbines, i.e., the foundation, tower, and critical topside components, pose problems like access difficulty, larger construction and maintenance vessels, and the significant build necessary to anchor top-heavy towers to the ocean floor. All of these details are mentioned in another Mechanical Engineering article (8) comparing land-based turbines (known as horizontal-axis wind turbines, or HAWT's) with the simpler Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine – an interesting twist that may provide opportunities for industry specialization: The VAWT – essentially a maypole with several ribbons extending in a top-to-bottom arc – has fewer components (all mounted near sea-level), is bottom-heavy, tethered to float in place, doesn't need to rotate into the wind, has much larger rotors – producing more energy – and doesn't need oversized maintenance vessels. Whether we get these – or plain old HAWT's – for US offshore farms, it's obvious we're thinking seriously about the wind capacity of domestic shores, which means additional future opportunities for workers.

EDUCATION NOT TREACHEROUS While some jobs require specialized skills, not all require extensive prior preparation. Wind technicians can still occasionally train onsite, but as new certificate programs materialize and solidify, experience in related fields (such as electricity or mechanics) will start to be the norm. This shouldn't deter you from exploring a job, however, because the aforementioned BLS report conclusively anticipates that wind careers will “experience rapid growth”, that this growth will “be noticeable [in the hardesthit industries]”, and that “jobs will be available [at many levels]” (9).

CURRENT NUMBERS, FUTURE NUMBERS

TRIBAL EMPLOYMENT TRAINING PROGRAM

The current installed base of wind turbines is over 57GW, according to the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. These turbines are in many capacities, sizes, and ages. This trend will continue, because we're learning to stagger turbine types to dodge efficiency-robbing turbulence, studying how to make them even bigger – for weaker wind areas – and we're constantly phasing in new technologies as old equipment ends its service life.

Tribal Employment & Training Program

Projections into the future return us to Jeffrey Winters , projecting wind energy additions through 2022...and then over the next 10 years, wind additions vary a little but mostly stabilize. Additionally, detailed wind speed charts exist for the United States, and we haven't always been building in the highest-wind areas: due to regulations, financial considerations, or just plain convenience. Perhaps someone will always be chasing these – providing pockets of new work – but it's more likely that industry will continue to develop better technologies for weak-wind areas, increasing the penetration of wind power.

A WIND ENERGY CAREER: NOT A BAD IDEA

If you want a job – really, a career – that's going to last you a long time, wind energy should be a serious contender.

Recent history shows that this nation is serious about meeting the challenges of domestic wind energy, both on land and offshore, that we have no plans to stop anytime soon, and that industry leaders are re-employing the workforces hardest-hit by the economic downturn. No matter your skill level, you can probably find a suitable job in renewable wind energy, and the time to look into it is now.

FINANCES BEFORE, AND AFTER, THE WEDDING

LENGTH OF COVERAGE?

Dear Dave,

My husband and I are 24, we’re debt-free, and we’re just a few weeks of saving away from having a fully-funded emergency fund. Each of us has a 401(k) plan at work, and right now we’re concentrating on life insurance purchases. You always recommend term insurance, but how long should the coverage last?

Dear Dave,

I’m getting married this summer, and I’m on Baby Step 4 of your plan. My fiancé is getting onboard with your advice, too, and she’s currently in the process of paying down her student loan debt. Would it be a good idea to go ahead, and put most of my emergency fund savings toward helping pay off her debt now?

Jenny

Aaron

Dear Jenny,

Dear Aaron,

Congratulations on being super smart with your money! It sounds like you two are starting out on the right foot.

You’ve got a generous heart, and I know you love this lady, but I wouldn’t recommend being involved in paying any of her debt until after the wedding. At that point, you two are joined together as one, and the concepts of “mine” and “hers” and “his” disappear. It all becomes “ours,” and you can adjust your money situation to reflect your marriage and your financial makeover as a couple.

Make sure that “we” have an emergency fund of at least $1,000 in the bank at that point. Then, if you’re both in agreement on the issue, you can throw the rest of what you previously had in your emergency fund at the debt. Both of you can also pile up cash between now and the big day, so that when you’re “official” you’ll have even more cash on hand.

Congratulations, and may God bless your lives together!

Generally, I recommend 15- or 20-year level term policies—unless you have children. Since you didn’t mention any kids, I can only assume they’re not in the picture at this point. However, if you two decide to grow your family in the future, I’d advise converting those to 30-year term policies. You’ll want the insurance there to protect everyone in the family, until the kids are grown and out on their own.

In the years after, continued saving and wealth building will lead you to a point where you’re both self-insured.

You two have done an excellent job with your finances. Keep up the good work!

—Dave
