The employment center hosted a job fair this weekend at the local college campus in the student center.  In addition to different booths set up for people to check out different employment opportunities, there were a lot of mini-seminars going on that you could sign up for and attend. One of the seminars that I attended was about educating oneself for the future employment market.

The speaker was talking about how the service industry will be growing, and as part of that industry the healthcare field in particular will be continuing to grow.  He was encouraging people to look into jobs in healthcare. Well, that means taking a number of courses, naturally, and he was suggesting that people go to a local college and see what their educational offerings include. He suggested that if one does not want to be directly involved in patient care, one could take a consultant interview course, or a medical teaching course. That reminded me that my next door neighbor recently retired from her job, and her job was to teach the teachers how to use computers in the classroom. Perhaps taking a teach the teacher course would prove beneficial. Then I started to remember how my ex-hubby’s mother used to help my sister-in-law research and write all of her papers for the medical management course that she was taking and how much that upset me to think that someone in the medical field would cheat in that manner. Isn’t it odd how random thoughts can go off on strange tangents sometimes!
