Creative Summer Jobs for Students with Tech Skills


I respond to journalist and reporters all the time who are looking for experts. They give the topic of their article, book or blog and request information. I keep looking for a journalist that has an optimistic approach. I would like to see more written that offers hope. It appears that the mind set is to write about how bleak the economy is, how bleak the job market... Tell us something we don;t know. Tell us how people are managing and managing well.

I have an out of the box suggestion. We have all these graduates, all these college students with amazing tech skills. How many of you parents out there were just waiting for your kiddo to get home from college so they could get your computer working or program your new cell phone or set up the new flat screen?

There are jobs. There are people looking for these skills. The trick is to find them. BUT you don't find them if you don't look. With all the down sizing going on, employers are looking for someone to do the work, now that they have laid off everyone. They are posting these jobs on the internet. There are networks with thousands of jobs posted right this moment on the internet.

We use to coach retirees that wanted to supplement their retirement in the down turned economic market or they just want to keep their brains active. What we discovered is a huge niche for young people. We now have an internet course that teaches the tricks for developing yourself as a barefoot consultant. An entrepreneur and you can be any age. In fact the youngsters have the tech skills. We have the wisdom. There is work for all of us.
