Explosive Growth in Government Jobs
Can Obama's strong focus on creating jobs pull the United States out of a recession?

Energy and Environment
One of the first and most striking changes we’re going to see under Obama’s presidency will be stronger investment into alternative energy sources and renewable energy. One of the most widely advertised components of Obama’s campaign was his promise to create 5 million new ‘green’ jobs during his first term in office.
<a href= “http://govcentral.monster.com/benefits/2054-growing-federal-jobs-energy”>Energy: – An estimated 2.28 million news jobs could be created in energy over the next ten years.
Obama also plans to develop and deploy clean coal technology, and to invest in energy efficiency improvements.
<a href= “http://govcentral.monster.com/benefits/2058-growing-federal-jobs-advanced-manufacturing”>Energy and Environment: Obama stated that he will prioritize the construction of the Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline – this may translate into large growths in the manufacturing industry.
<a href= “http://govcentral.monster.com/benefits/2051-growing-federal-jobs-automative”>Automotive: Ohio alone lost more than 200,000 automotive manufacturing jobs during the Bush administration; Obama plans to re-create automotive jobs on a large scale.
Obama also will focus on developing and deploying clean coal technology, and will prioritize the construction of the Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline.
This translates into large growths in the manufacturing industry. The technology needed to create real breakthrough in alternative energy and energy efficiency is very sophisticated. Many jobs will be created which require graduate and post-graduate environmental science, IT, and engineering degrees.
<a href= “http://govcentral.monster.com/benefits/2058-growing-federal-jobs-advanced-manufacturing”>Automotive: Obama plans to put 1 million electric-hybrid cars on the road by 2015. The manufacturing of fuel-efficient cars will mean a lot of jobs at the state government level.

whats up Scrub? I hold a scrub diploma, Surg. Asst. diploma and five other healthcare trades and a Bachelor's degree in Business Admin w/ Mgmt. Your best bet would be to structure yourself with travel contracts for about a year, find a local gig that will be stable, go to school and if you have to, finance your education and enter either nursing or business and ascend to the Exectuive Suite, so that your voice can be heard loud and clear. You must also educate yourself higher so that your voice as a Pt advocate will be heard even more clearly. Tough breaks and a long path but you have to go and not look back. Learn hearts, PLIFs, ORIFs, and anything else other people dont want to do. Work hard and create a plan that will help you not feel inferior or under employed.

How does one prepare to meet these challenges? Where do we seek to find the schooling?
