Portable careers

Are you looking at going back to school so you will be able to get a job in a different field? Will this new field enable you to stay in your current area or will you have to move? A wise move would be to get into a career that is portable, in other words you can find employment in any area that you move into.

A portable career sounds like something we would all like to have. We could pick and choose any location in the country or the world and find a job. Of course in reality that isn’t the case especially in this economy. Probably the most common industry that would be considered portable is the health industry. Whether it is a Doctor, nurse or a technician you would probably be able to find a job anywhere you go. Of course the price for this mobility is the time it takes to receive training or education, but it would certainly be to your advantage.

Another portable career would be in certain technological fields like networking. The demand wouldn’t be as great as in the health industry but there will definitely be opening in the future.

Besides specific knowledge, general knowledge of computers and software are certainly portable anywhere. So at least having common computer skills will be a plus.
