Hello my little dorm room buddy 
In case you were too busy cramming for those exams, yesterday was Earth Day.
Of course, isn’t EVERY day Earth Day? :-0
Anyway, I thought I’d instill upon you some interesting fact regarding the “green economy” and how you can benefit from a “green job”.
Today, jobs with a green focus are growing faster than the average for all occupations.
OK - let me repeat that -
Jobs with a green focus are growing faster than the average for all occupations!!!
Want proof? OK - here’s what the US Department of Labor has to say about it:
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the employment of environmental scientists is predicted to increase by 25 percent from 2006 to 2016.
That’s HUGE…
The strongest growth is expected to be in private-sector consulting firms as more businesses realize the importance of going green.
So if you’re wonderin what kind of job you might be interested in or what your next major will be (assuming you’ve already got a major and will change it soon ) How about an online degree in environmental studies?
This is a rapidly growing industry that is constantly seeking knowledgeable and highly skilled professionals to lead the charge.
And you could be one of them…
…think about it…
You could pursue an online graduate programs in Environmental Management or get Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences.
And getting a “green” degree online verses on campus is an exercise in being green as well!
So help save the planet - in two ways…
Get your Environmental Management or Environmental Sciences degree, and get it ONLINE!
:-)

Check this out.
As of the fall of next year, the Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences (FHCHS) will no longer have a RN-BSN degree program on campus.
Why? Because they’re moving the entire program online!
In fact, students already enrolled in on-campus courses will be transitioned into the RN-BSN degree online program and as of the Fall 2007 term, no on-campus BSN courses will be offered. All future enrollments will be only for the RN-BSN degree to their online program.
The online RN-BSN program began in 2004 with 26 students, and has grown to 369 students.
The program helps working professional Registered Nurses (RNs) attain the education necessary to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. Students enrolled in the program live in communities as close as Orlando and as far away as Okinawa, Japan.
Dr. Nancy Haugen, Chair of the Department of Nursing had this to say about this change in their offering:
“The number of students who are choosing the online program really shows how valuable the flexibility of learning at home is to nurses trying to balance personal and professional obligations. With this in mind, we feel it is important to focus our attention on developing the online program.”
So, score one for the online degree program!

One reason why technical training is seeing a comeback is the increase in partnerships among community/technical colleges, high schools, and employers.
Here’s a great example of that in my home state of North Carolina:
There’s a company in Greensboro, NC called RF MicroDevices. They’ve hooked up with Guilford Technical Community College. Together they’ve developed several programs to help train student operators in “wafer fab”, which turn out integrated computer circuits.
“There’s no place else around here where someone can learn the skills necessary to perform efficiently in our facility,” says Ralph Knupp of RFMD. “Someone who graduates with a bachelor of arts would not arrive bringing the specific experience we need. So vocational training is critical for us to maintain our manufacturing strength in Greensboro.”
North Carolina is probably best know for our textile and furniture industries (High Point Furniture Market, for example). But we’ve seen those industries shrink dramatically in the face of foreign competition. So the state has relied alot on the community college system, which was started in 1958, to retrain displaced workers.
“We did a major study with industry and found that for two-thirds of all bio-tech jobs in this state, no four-year degree was necessary,” says Martin Lancaster, president of the North Carolina Community College system.
So I think there’s a hugh trend here:
First of all, families are struggling to afford the traditional college education. So they’re looking a technical training to learn a hi-tech skill or trade.
Second, employers are struggling to find qualified hi-tech labor. So that has increased the demand for skilled US workers in fields such as aviation mechanics, computer technology, electronics, global positioning, and trades ranging from culinary arts to construction.
It’s a combination that will only grow over time.
