5 Best Career Tips for Young People

I do agree with you on flying solo as well as getting a second or third job; and I've been brainstorming for a while on finding a niche in which to invest my time and the little money I have. So far it's proven a bit difficult. However, after reading some of these useful tips I am going to become more active in controlling my own financial destiny. I will definately be making better use of the internet for research as well as using the wisdom of older persons who've travelled this road before I have.

I do feel much better about my future after reading this atricle.

PS. Can you suggest some sites that may be useful for me with regards to my statement above.

Thank You

It is important to understand what you are worth and the value in today's market. One can only be paid based on the funding equation. If you work for a non-profit and your salary is based on grant money, there is typically not alot of discretionary money to increase salaries. Where there may be flexibility is in time off or other perks. The value exchange proposition is important and understanding what is doable within the guidelines of the organizaton and the funding sources is critical.
