20 Best and Worst paying carrier options

Career Options For College

We have always been asked 'what do you want to be when you are grow up?' When I was like around three I always said Doctor, used to check people's tongues and eyes like usual medical persona had. I grew up and the same question bumped my head, but this time I had a change of mental status so i said, 'a singer will be cool!!' (not to mention I sang back then, or even now).Well, no need to worry as I deleted this one soon. Now when I completed High School people wanted a more serious answer from me, but I wasn't sure what to say this time. I saw all the world recession stories and trust me, I almost had a heart attack thinking about it every now and then. I want my future life to be perfect, want to do what i am good at and earn lots. So what I did, I asked many people on the pros and cons of every Education Field that I can opt for. But I just checked on the latest reviews on the worst and best paying carrier options(college degrees). I want you guys, who are about to make a decision not go through what I did and just have an idea about each and every stuff.

20 BEST PAYING CARRIER OPTIONS:

The college degrees that lead to the highest salaries all involve high-level mathematics.

Just like last year’s survey of salaries by college degrees, engineering majors dominate the list (I am not saying this because I am an Engineer student, It's a proven fact). For undergraduates, seven of the top 10 college degrees, according to Payscale Inc., belong to engineering majors. The best paying college degree of all — by a long shot — is Petroleum Engineering.

The salary advantage that graduates, who earn these largely technical degrees, enjoy continues as they move into the middle of their careers.

20 WORST PAYING CARRIER OPTIONS:

If you want to avoid the worst-paying college degrees, think twice before choosing a college major that involves children.

Included among the 20 worst-paying college degrees are elementary education, special education, social work and child and family studies. That's the conclusion of the latest annual study of college degrees by Payscale, Inc. that compiled starting and mid-career pay for dozens of college majors.

Child and family studies earned the honors as the worst-paying college major. The average graduate earns a beginning salary of $29,500. What's equally discouraging is that the salary of someone in this field will barely budge after 15 years in the profession.

Food is another common theme for students who major in the worst-paying college degrees. Students who earn degrees in horticulture, dietetics and the culinary arts are more likely to end up struggling financially.

       The 20 worst paying career options (degrees) are:  

          College Degree                                  Starting Pay                                     Mid-Career

Facebook, Twitter etc. (the heart of every connection)

Its a regular page of life when many people report that their best friends are online connections - people they never saw or met. At one time I definitely would have been shocked by this and think those people are nutcases who without even knowing a person are friends (correction), close friends with them, but not any more. Actually I am one of those nutcases too, now that I have online friends that I have never met, that I talk to more than the real people around me. I wonder sometimes how did I change so drastically?

What is it about these sites that make you visit them everyday? We get so impatient or eager to know what is going on there. Just to update our status we flip through thousands of things that went on in a single day and yet post about almost all of them. How and why did it become such important in our lives?

As little as a ten year old we would have been correct if we considered Social Networking to mean going out with all your friends and meeting their friends and different people around but nowadays its definition is not even close. Social Networking is still about meeting people but not face to face, Internet plays the mediocre.

Groups of like minded people gather on Social Networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Orkut, Myspace and many more. On some of these sites you can even open a 'chat' option which allows you to instant message someone sitting at any corner of the world.

These sites gives you many options on what you want to do that day. Based on commonalities, these sites bring together people with common interests to discuss stuff like hobbies, education, politics, likes, dislikes, audios, vedios, etc. Especially for girls, you can gossip anytime you want and after you are done with it, quickly delete it as if you never said it. Its like the old skool pen friend that people used to have, the plus point here is you can have hundreds and thousands of pen friends and you won't even have to wait a week or a month to hear from them.

I have found many people asking me if Twitter was better or Facebook. Well, me being on both i cannot really choose, they both have their own good and bad feilds but yes, the number makes the difference.

In a research we found that Social Networking is now conquering the Web, and the two leaders in this growing market are Facebook and Twitter. Each site has built communities of millions of users and developers in just a few short years, and they are fighting each other to become the top destination for Web users looking to share information with friends and colleagues. Facebook, launched in February 2004, had 135.4 million unique visitors to its site in April 2010 for a whopping 3.2 billion total visits, according to Compete, an analytics firm. Twitter, launched in March 2006, lured 21.5 million unique visitors in April 2010 for 147.4 million total visits.

Facebook is clearly the most popular social networking site, and it trails only Google as the Internet site with the most visitors. If you don't count YouTube, the video sharing service, as a social network, then Twitter is firmly in second place. But you gotta choose what you like the most.

Nowadays more than how many good and regular friends you have on these sites it has become more of how many friends they show at your profile or how many followers you have. People tend to increase their numbers and i bet they do not even know half of them properly. We find different schemes at twitter like, ' Get 10,000 followers in just one day. CLick here!' or people just add others as friends on these social sites just for the show off sake. Do we all know how safe this is? How far can we trust a stranger?

Everything has its pros and cons, and here the cons are mostly the same. Since the medium allows you to be annonymus,some people use fake personas and act in a predatory manner towards the vulnerable. At the same time, there are many news reports of users alerting police of a medical or other emergency just by providing another users profile.

So the conclusion part is use the technology carefully and make the most of it.

Blogs (don't get confused, just read)

It hasn't been even a decade when now Blogs are the most popular mean of expressing. Back then, if you had mentioned 'Blog' to just about anyone, they would have looked at you as if you are some crazy person that just got out of an mental asylum. Even today some people don't even know what a blog is! Weird huh? This must be weird for those people who are used to or i might say addicted to blogging. But like me, people are nowadays gaining more and more interest in it. Even in our day to day conversations we find sentences like 'You have no idea what i blogged today!' or 'I gotta blog about this one' or 'You will have to read my blog today or I will kill you'. There is a persistent strain of opinion which holds that blogging is mostly self-centered, but this is not true and many blogs have proven it already.

There are many different ways one can approach a personal blog. Some find that it is good platform to vent about things that made them upset, while simultaneously a good way of communicating with positive feeling i.e. one can just take their rage out by posting their life experiences or share happiness by just writing about it. Some people get creative about their blogs and build some sort of characters around it while some post the day to day happenigs and their views like us. Many popular blogs are surrounded around worldwide celebrities and their lives. What they eat, where they go, what they do and blah-blah. Thank god no-one till now have posted anything about their daily routines, if you know what I mean. These type of blogs are super personal ones. You will ave to be a freaking celebrity to get so many hits. While some other normal people just enjoy putting up opinions and observations, either inviting or at least not discouraging feedback. If all of this sounds a bit like a glorified diary, you’re close, but not quite there. A diary is, after all, intended to be extremely personal while a blog is very much shaped by its potential for wider readership.

Please consider this only if you have this question in your mind! you know, maybe i convinced you all way before. So anyways, jokes apart the real question is why should we blog? Well, by now there are many examples in which a blog has turned into Books, TV Shows and Films. Yes, literally that is true. This medium itself has taken many different shapes like 'Vlogging' or we can say Vedio Blogging in which all you have to do is just have a webcam and an expression filled face. Just speak to the camera and post the vedio content on the blog. This makes anyone and everyone the Star Of Their Own Show, well, it does not guarentee you viewers but you can watch yourself all your own. Vlogging is a better way to demonstrate anger, happiness and weird expressions when it comes to messages.

Blogs are not need to be public, you can totally keep it under shell for your friends and people you know. . Top bloggers have made careers in the wider media and other writing based careers, too, so if you have a gift for the written word like me it can be advantageous to let your opinions be read by an audience. You may simply want an easily archived journal of your thoughts. The only limits are those which you choose to place yourself – which in itself is good practice. It is generally better to keep some things for your eyes only.
