Economic Downturn Bad - Education is Always Good
I'm not sure what to make of this "economic downturn" - it's probably been coming for a while, and I'm no economist, so I won't speculate except to say this:
Whenever the economy gets a little worse, education becomes even more important.

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs Part Two
Last week I showed you an article that highlighted some jobs that were high paying and didn't require several advanced degrees or decades of experience.
This week, I'd like to share with you some more jobs - these pay about $50,000 per year.
For example:
Librarians,
Teachers,
Sales Representatives,
Subway operators
and more!

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs
It's a fact: People with college degrees earn more over a lifetime than people with high school diplomas.
Jobs that pay well (about $70,000 per year) and don't require years and years of experience really do exist.
For example:
Advertising & Promotions Manager
Computer Systems Analyst
and more!

Why Writing Well is Good for Your Future: Your Job
Even the jobs that don't call for a "writer" right there in the job description probably require some form of writing, and that means that you'll need to be able to put together a sentence or two, and fast.
Your boss won't have the time to look over your work, but you can probably rest assured that glaring misteaks in a memo or a presentation, or even a billboard will anger your boss because it makes him or her and the company look unprofessional and unprepared. Your reader will probably excuse one or two small errors, but a lot of errors or just one obvious, easy fix can cause your reader to lose confidence in you, your writing, and the message you're trying to convey.
So, save yourself some future embarrassment by learning this skill: proofread your work quickly. A quick readthrough of your writing before handing it in will catch a lot of small errors.
Did you catch "misteaks" in the previous paragraph?
