Talks like a (job search engine) Truck Driver
No commentsBy Charles Henry
We have all heard the saying “He’s got a mouth like a truck driver”. Growing up we hear many things that steer us away or towards different jobs in life. No thanks to Hollywood, its portrayal of truck drivers, and the bad accidents we see on the evening news, it seems truck drivers get a bad rap.
Most believe truck drivers are low paid vagrant types that live on the road drifting in and out of trouble. These stereotypes I find to be humorous for I am a truck driver. I have many peers and none of them fit this profile. My peers all make $65,000-$100,000 dollars a year with trucking jobs and most of us are home everyday with our families. We live in above average homes with above average toys.
There is a truck driver shortage in this country that is growing larger every year. Every time I see someone working a menial job living paycheck to paycheck struggling to survive I scratch my head. I cant help but wonder if they have a drivers license. Because having a drivers license is all someone needs to get started and make the aforementioned money in a years time with a trucking job.
There is no need to spend hundreds of thousands on an college education only to graduate too make much less with massive debt. Most would believe that a college degree would enable you to earn more money than with a trucking job. I know many people with degrees whose salaries are not half of a truck driver.
There are many high paying trucking jobs in the trucking industry available with no need to be away from home or live on the road. I don’t believe that the general public is aware these trucking jobs even exist. I know this because of the shocked looks on faces when I explain what I make, and what I do.
The greatest thing about trucking jobs vs. a regular job is the amount of freedom you have. You can’t put a price on freedom of a trucking job, and you will find no other job that will give you as much of it. So the next time you see a truck driver remember this; his investment portfolio and his home are probably 3 times the size of the average American household. He has no student loans to pay back and he has the freedom to talk “like a truck driver” if he wants to!

Creating Your Own Online Tutoring Service
By Chris Simpson
In today’s unstable economy many people have cut down their travel and overall expenses through the use of online instant messaging, email, social networking sites, forums, video conferencing, etc. Why not take advantage of these new trends and apply them to work at home with an online tutoring business?
Tutoring is not a new concept but the ability to do it online is a trend that is quickly gaining momentum. A growing number of students are online these days and are turning to the internet as an effective learning tool. Whether it is continued education, or just test and exam prep, there is a market for every subject and grade level. If you enjoy teaching and have a flexible schedule then an online work-at-home tutoring business may be perfect for you.
Many parents seek out online tutoring because it is generally cheaper, more convenient and more private. It also gives parents a chance to learn along side their child. With increasing amounts of homework and constant changes to the curriculum many parents feel just as intimidated as the students. They seek to find a solution that can help them both benefit from some help outside of school.
For parents, the increasing pressure of driving kids from one program to the next, making dinner, doing laundry, making lunches, and preparing for the week ahead leaves little time to give their kids the extra help they need. Online tutoring gives parents greater choice in picking a tutor as well. Instead of having to choose from the tutors that are available within their own area, they can have a pick of many different tutors with many different skills. Parents can gather information and compare the quality, experience and value that will be gained from a variety of online tutors.
Today’s students are more involved in extra-curricular activities, such as sports teams, music lessons, and homework. Their time is limited and over-stimulation can cause problems with concentration. Tired kids don’t want to be dragged to a stranger’s house for help with their homework. Online anonymity creates a great atmosphere where students don’t have to worry about peer approval. They will be more motivated because they won’t feel vulnerable about their deficiencies.
As a tutor, you could utilize voice over internet and instant messaging systems to answer questions and guide students through your step-by-step learning procedures. If you have experience with Microsoft office applications you could create visually stimulating presentations to engage the students and make learning more fun for them. You can create your own customized learning programs and schedules.
Tutoring in your area may require certification, or accreditation with a particular regulating body. Make sure that you check the regional standards. It may be worthwhile to complete tutoring programs that they offer, as some institutions will advertise for accredited tutors that have gained certification through their association. It’s a great source of reliable advertising for your new business.
As tutoring rates vary depending on the subject and the intensity. Be sure that you properly evaluate a pay rate that is affordable for both yourself and the parents. Parents are looking for an affordable and convenient alternative so don’t expect to draw more customers by charging the same rates as an offline tutor.
With the ability to offer innovative ideas, concepts and learning strategies to students all over the globe, you’ll never run out of interesting and rewarding online work at home.
