...Brian Mathews English 101 Hofreiter 4-2-13 Technology Taking Our Jobs In the 19th century, The British textile industry was one of the main contributors to the start of the Industrial Revolution. Many self-employed British tailors found themselves out of work with no way to earn income through their profession. It forced tailors out of their jobs because Britain’s textile industry was more efficient than a self employed tailor and the quality was still pretty high. They became obsolete very quickly and if they didn’t find another job, the children and families of these tailors would soon starve or become homeless. As more technologies were invented during the Industrial Revolution, more and more professions became outdated which forced many people to become unemployed. What people don’t realize is that we are still facing the same problem 200 years later. Technology is slowly replacing human jobs in order to make production and services cheaper and more efficient. Based on history, becoming replaced by a machine is inevitable to many people in many areas of work. Although technology is creating jobs, at the same time it is killing them off at an even greater rate. Many people are finding themselves no longer needed to carry out the same job that would be impossible without them 15 years ago. “In the United States, half of the 7.5 million jobs lost during the Great Recession paid middle-class wages, and the numbers...

During that time I began working for an organization called Community Intervention and Research Center as a behavioral aide, which I found to be very rewarding. Though the organization was a social service agency, we worked with a lot of school and child psychologists. My job duties were to be someone who enforces behavior modification with children who were put on my case load one on one but within their normal everyday environment. Each child had a treatment plan that was put in place by their psychologist and my duty was to help implement it. So I accompanied the children on my caseload to school, home and/or their after school program. Each child had been diagnosed with some sort of emotional, behavioral, and/or learning disorder and it was my job to coach them through some of their difficulties. This job actually meant a lot to me because as a child I was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Growing up was very difficult for me because I was always being kicked out of schools or put in remedial classes because a lot of schools weren’t adept at handling children with ADHD. So this job became especially important to me which is why I chose the profession of Educational Psychology. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in order to become a school psychologist one must obtain a master’s degree in psychology followed...

...path for your life? A college education is all of these choices and then some. My choice to gain an education is for the establishment of a professional, personal, and financial foundation. My success also depends on this decision. Success is measured differently for each individual, but for me it’s measured by the opportunities afforded through receiving an education. In today’s economy, knowledge is not something I decided to have; I found it as being something that is essential to gain. According to the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics, between 1980 and 2005 “young adults with at least a bachelor’s degree consistently had higher median earnings than those with less education” (Kirstina). Obtaining knowledge through a college education is of utmost importance to me. I will be the first in my family to graduate college with degree of knowledge. Knowledge is so vast that there is no exact definition to define it. The definition of knowledge for me, is acquiring information and skills to prepare me for life’s obstacles. One of life’s greatest obstacles that knowledge renders you for, is success in a profession or trade. “The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts net job growth of almost 3 million health care jobs in the decade ending in 2029, a 29 percent increase over other groups” (Katherine). In the health care industry lies my dream job. My dream job is to be a health care administrator with a PhD. Gaining a PhD in healthcare administration...

...very much related to cosmetology because cosmetology is all about looks. Just to get an outlook on this occupation, a lot of important information includes salary potential, working hours, availability of positions, job duties, and required training and education. All of which are important aspects to carefully look over when deciding if cosmetology is the right career for you. The Occupational Outlook Handbook [OOH] reports, “Median hourly wages in May 2008 for hairdressers, hairstylists, and cosmetologists, including tips and commission, were $11.13. Median hourly wages in May 2008 for barbers, including tips, were $11.56. Among skin care specialists, median hourly wages, including tips, were $13.81. Manicurists and pedicurists earned $9.46, and shampooers earned $8.32 (Bureau of Labor Statistics 3-4).” This seems fairly the same, since this was reported in 2008, as this year, 2010. According to today’s cosmetologists, the salary depends on the workplace, although these wages seem very similar to any normal cosmetologist. From my outlook, I think the hours are very flexible and random. I walk in to get a pedicure and I get in within 15 minutes. When I get my haircut, I usually call my hairstylist and state and time within a few days, or even hours.
