For many Americans, an important component of the American Dream
is the possibility of hard work turning into financial fortune.
The career exploits of such self made magnates like Andrew
Carnegie, Lee Iaccoca and Donald Trump are examples for many.
The idea of being self-employed appeals to many people who want
the possibility of unlimited income, a flexible schedule and
perhaps the opportunity to work from home. If you’re one of
these people, having the proper training, especially in a growth
industry, is very important. Consider these ten courses of
study, if you want to be your own boss.
Creative Careers
The personal computer has made it much easier to enter the
marketplace in many professions. Training in graphic design,
multimedia design and web design allow you to work from home, or
as your clientele increases, out of an office. Education in
these skills can also create opportunities for you to work as an
employee, or contractor. These creative jobs are very much in
demand, particularly as advertising spending has increased as
the economy has improved.
Mechanical Careers
If you like to fix things or work with your hands, there are
some great, lucrative training programs that will allow you to
do this type of work for a career. Most of these jobs require
you to work for someone else first, either to gain skills
training or the money to go off on your own. A career in HVAC
(heating, ventilation, air conditioning), home appliance repair,
electrical installation/repair or auto body repair are all great
ways to make your hands create a living for you.
Service Careers
There are many service careers available as well for the
self-employed. Home healthcare is one such growing field.
Nurses, both RNs and LPNs, are in wide demand. Another career
field that is growing is court reporting and closed captioning.
The growing legal system and new Federal laws designed to
benefit the hearing impaired are driving growth in these
categories.
In addition to having the skills to perform your chosen
business, you need the business skills as well. Sales and
marketing are in first order, while organization and
administrative skills will keep your clients and the IRS happy.
