Offline niches such as TV, Radio, Newspaper...etc, are losing their market to Internet TV, Radio and websites like NYTimes. Air Travel industry is losing its market because people can communicate much easier now over the Internet with the aid of Technology and the Web. <br /><br />I recently moved from Vancouver to Toronto and had to quit my very stable and reliable government job plus my local IT consulting business. I&#39;ve found a much better career opportunity in Toronto in a very short amount of time. And I think the main reason is because I am on top of Technology and the Web.<br /><br />Thousands of opportunities are being created everyday in the technology industry, and at the same time, thousands of opportunities are becoming obsolete everyday due to the rapid growth of technology. <br /><br />Stay on top of the world that is driven by technology and you&#39;ll be fine!Aaronhttp://www.businessminder.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7939090324856486515.post-60716366132890318052009-04-06T13:23:00.000-07:002009-04-06T13:23:00.000-07:00Some great points here-<BR/><BR/>This comment goes along with your point #1 and #4 (being proactive and looking on the Internet)<BR/><BR/>Since we're also talking about being more creative during this economic slump, why not think outside the box of looking to work for another in the first place?<BR/><BR/>I'm rather amazed that there are plenty of skill sets that are for whatever reason not "conventional" enough to be taught in schools, but the mastery of which would lead to more autonomy.<BR/><BR/>Most of us are trained to be employees- nothing wrong with that, but I'm convinced that thinking that way is a kind of tunnel vision that keeps many from learning skills that would allow them to carve out there own path to income.<BR/><BR/>One of them is as close as the computer in front of you. For the first time in history, we are 3 feet in front of the world, yet few learn how to use it in a way to render 1) value to others and 2)income for themselves.<BR/><BR/>leavethejobbehind.comwinspirehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09812204798791152853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7939090324856486515.post-11182347292402379112009-02-24T07:24:00.000-08:002009-02-24T07:24:00.000-08:00This is a very necessary post. More and more people are being told daily to clean out their desks. How alarming is this news? I was among those numbers years ago and I still know how it feels. I believe the internet is going to be the greatest solution for many of these folks. If they need guidance they can contact me or many others that will give them direction that can start them on the road to owning their own lives and not have to be concerned about working for someone else ever again.<BR/><BR/>Eddie Garcia<BR/>(229)889-9532 Anytime!<BR/>eddiegarcia08@gmail.comEddieGarciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06295125236445134425noreply@blogger.com
