Cameron Plommer Do you have a personal website? Is do you own your name's domain? For my job search I set up my personal website and branded it to strengthen my career. If this is something you have been thinking about doing or don't really know how to start, I'd like to offer my services and get you started. Whether it's setting up the domain, hosting, Wordpress, strategizing or writing the copy, maybe I can help your job search out. Tweet, message, or email me if you are interested.

Hushmath Alam I'm trying to build a site that must have the capability to allow members to renew their membership and also register for events within the site. Is there a way to integrate both membership management and event registration on a Wordpress site (through plugins, widgets, etc.)? Or is there another product/service I could use that would allow me to integrate everything on one site? I have built sites using WP but don't have experience with something as complicated as this. Thanks in advance.

TOP IDEA: Hannah Kane The craze in career advice is that the job market is all about job CREATION-- job postings are a thing of the past. Then why have my networking and info interview efforts led to dead ends, while responding to job postings have led to dozens of interviews and a job offer? Am I doing something wrong-- or is it that job creation has worked for a minority of people, but isn't the way of the future?

Chris Paugh Some companies are now embracing shuteye strategy! I just heard this morning that Ben & Jerry's employees have nap rooms. It is believed that an AM nap improves mental and creative abilities and PM nap rejuvenates you physically. When I work from home, I can see how I could plan some nap time. However, do you think that it really leads to more productivity in the work place and would it work for you and your company? Pros/Cons?

Because of the increase to unemployment, it tells me that someone threw enough money at the problem to have one quarter of growth to "end the recession" and not actually fix the root cause of the recession, the lack of growth, or the rising unemployment.

Any time you get statistics showing you numbers saying one thing, there is always another statistician out there to show you numbers saying the exact opposite.

The U6 number ...MoreThe commonly reported U3 unemployment number is a polite fiction which provides a very inaccurate picture of the real job situation. The U6 number (which has been around 18% for some time) is a more accurate assessment, as it also accounts for many who are deemed "underemployed" due to lack of hours, or in jobs that are not commensurate with skills, education and experience. While there are clearly some people with no interest in working yet expect their lives to be subsidized by others, if you look at the sheer number of people who are struggling to find sufficient work, you'll realize the real extent of where the economy is, and where it is heading. And if that isn't alarming, Google the recent Rutgers study entitled "The Shattered American Dream" and consider it a cautionary tale. If you have work (whether self-employed or a W-2 worker), be thankful and you better find a way to make yourself indispensable, because few people outside of unions or very uniquely skilled positions have "job security" and this will probably grow worse over time...

If managers made employees their own profit and loss center (actual cost against their output) and tracked that, they can put associates on their P&L and track their earned value.

How an organization treats their employees is another issue. An organization is compromised of people and it is really up to the values of the people who create the organization to ensure the values and culture of the company is to the highest quality they can make it. Attrition rates for companies would be reflected if they see a decline in top talent leaving for other companies with a better organizational culture.

Ty Unglebower Well, I tendered my resignation for the part-time reporter job I have had over the last 18 months or so. That makes it all sound more dramatic than it is. It never really seemed like a good fit to me. I was usually uncomfortable with the nature of the work, and the community is very cloistered. Not open to strangers like me. Couldn't get my phone calls returned, and I sense no advancement of any kind within the paper. Many would have stayed, since all work is good work, but I wanted to move on.

If, ...MoreHi Jaime, I have the feeling that you are either not asking the right question or are not disclosing something essential. Maybe some of both.

If, as you say, you don’t need the credentials and it seems you’ve been effective self-managing your educational and developmental needs, why are trying to ID a particular program? I also get the impression that by asking what you could do with such a degree, you may feel the need justify to others or to yourself undertaking a formal degree.

How likely is it that you really are looking 1) for a means to produce rather than consume, that is apply what you have learned. 2) to identify a longer-term career calling, plan, or focus?

I see you have been working in the higher education industry, so I think you probably know your specific educational options and related career possibilities better than anyone responding to you here. (That includes myself and I advise people applying to graduate programs.) So, rather than asking WHATs, you should ask WHYs. Once you do that, the WHETHER and WHICH will be pretty easy.

@Ty - 100% in agreement; I just couldn't decide what I wanted to do more. I've now narrowed that down to consumer behavior / IO psych.

@Timothy - one of my undergrad degrees in in psych. and I felt the same way. In my opinion, the more you know about "people" and reading them, the better you can relate in everything you do - personal or professional.

@Sam - I believe the skills I'm lacking are more on the "social"/acting corporate side than on the fundamental 'skills side'. Hence the reason I don't like the MBA programs - every syallabus I've looked at, I've already done what is asked in the course. For me, an MBA program would be a way to make some new connections, but maybe not learn as much as I would in another area. I'm working on "being more corporate" (more professional) already and have a coach, etc. As for what excites me - PEOPLE. I excel and want to learn more about people, how they interact, what drives them, motivates them, inspires them, etc. - hence leaning towards consumer behaviour.

@Benjamin - 3 years ago I would have agreed with you ( ; So for me, finance was my "hardest" area to get a grasp on. I hated accounting and finance, SO instead of going back to school, I took on the challenge of building out an acct. and finance dept. Now, it's simple to me; THAT SAID, it's still probably my least developed skill set. While I may not "need" more credentials - I don't want to take a degree that I will never use - even as a negotiating tool. So in theory - I agree with you - but I think I've already worked on the theory.

@Bryon - it's not an "either" "or" for me. I'm typically working in both those areas as I manage sales and marketing departments. It's my job to a) reach the consumer and b) manage my team to do the same.

@Livia - With a masters in anything, I can pursue an academic career, so good with that - but itnerested in why you are so "anti" school? Pls explain.

@Rishona - you make a GREAT point and have stated one of the things I was thinking. I think you have just "confirmed" my decision to NOT get the MBA - thank you.

To be fair, the author says he's sick of narcissists young and old (I am too) but the focus is on Gen Y instead of on the bigger picture.
