Degree is not much important to earn $50k Jobs

What is More Important to Earn Jobs 


By Christine Laue, PayScale.com

Being degreeless doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll wind up in a low-paying job. Online salary database PayScale.com compiled a list of jobs that pay $25 an hour -- or $52,000 a year -- but don’t require a college degree. The list looks at workers with five to eight years of experience.

That pay level -- which is more than three times the minimum wage -- bests the typical college graduate's starting salary of $39,000, says Katie Bardaro, PayScale.com’s lead analyst. “If you work hard and move up to a higher-level job, you have the potential to do better than a recent college grad,” she says.


Oil Pumper

Oil pumper Pat Love of Lincolnville, Kansas, drives a truck through a 10,000-acre pasture in the Flint Hills of Kansas to check oil and gas wells. If they aren’t pumping correctly, he fixes them.

Love, who doesn’t have a college degree, learned everything he needed to know on the job and from a few classes. Many employers send workers to training conducted by heavy-equipment manufacturers.

Love urges anyone considering work as an oil pumper to be aware that the job is labor-intensive and dangerous. “They call me ‘accident Pat,’” he says. “There are plenty of burn scars on my arms.”

Retail General Manager

Retail managers oversee day-to-day operations of a retail store. The work includes hiring and supervising employees, coordinating sales promotions, implementing policies and customer relations. Previous sales experience is essential for someone without a degree.

Alex Diimig, 25, landed a retail manager job at Jake’s Cigars and Spirits in Omaha without a degree. He was promoted a year and a half later to general manager, demonstrating that advancing in retail doesn’t always require a degree, “as long as you have tenacity and can work hard,” he says. “I don’t plan to stop where I’m at. I think there is a lot of opportunity for me in this job.”

Director of Housekeeping

The director of housekeeping coordinates, schedules and supervises janitors and housekeepers in hotels, restaurants, nursing homes or private residences. The housekeeping director’s responsibilities include assigning tasks, inspecting employees’ work and preparing department expense reports.

While janitors and housekeepers without degrees can work their way into this role, they might be required to take some college courses or in-service training to advance to supervisor.

Millwright

Mulling if a millwright job is right for you? A millwright installs, assembles and dismantles machinery, conveyer systems and material-handling equipment in factories, power plants and construction sites.

Most millwrights enter the occupation through apprenticeship programs typically lasting four years and sponsored by local union chapters, employers or state labor departments.

That’s how Shane Harris of Warsaw, Indiana, became a millwright in the mid-1990s. The expanding wind-power industry is fueling demand today, he says. “Although we were slow a couple years ago, we are seeing a huge increase in work,” he says.

Mobile Crane Operator

Crane operators use equipment to lift and move materials, machinery and other heavy objects at warehouses, storage yards, factories and construction sites.

Little or no formal training is required in most cases. Many employers require workers to be at least 18 and physically able to perform the work. Six cities and 17 states require crane operators to be licensed.

Food Service Director

The food service director hires, trains and supervises the staff for restaurants or food service facilities. Responsibilities include ordering supplies and setting work schedules.

Most food service directors have prior experience in the food or hospitality industries and some postsecondary training; however, many experienced workers with less education can be promoted.

Peter Fischbach of Newark, New Jersey, served as director of food services for Gourmet Dining Services at the 9,500-student New Jersey Institute of Technology before being promoted to regional director of culinary development. He now oversees food service at 11 different colleges and universities.

While Fischbach entered the field as an executive chef, he says many food service directors don’t need culinary degrees. Smaller, privately owned companies especially promote from within and are less likely to require formal education, he says.

Indian Car run by Air

Washington, May 10 (ANI): India-based Tata Motors has said that it has tested two cars that can run on compressed air, and that the next step is setting up the manufacturing plants to actually build them.
In 2007, Tata Motors signed a licensing deal with Motor Development International, a French design firm.
Compressed air engines aren't a new idea. The first models were proposed more than a century ago, and they were used in the mining industry for decades before electric motors became commonplace.
Even now, compressed air powers all kinds of tools, notably the pneumatic impact wrenches in auto body shops.
A compressed air car engine works in a way similar to the internal combustion version - Fuel forces pistons to turn a crankshaft and power the car. The difference is that in a compressed air engine, the pistons are moved by air and not gasoline.
Researchers in Sweden have experimented with single-cylinder engines of this type.
The only problem is power. Air compression alone only gets a car moving to about 30 to 35 miles per hour. So to supplement that, the car could take in more air as it moves faster, using an onboard air compressor.
The air compressor could be electric or, more likely, gasoline-powered. But even that would reduce emissions a lot, since the gasoline engine wouldn't be running at lower speeds.
Range is also an issue. Like all vehicles, an air-powered car can drive only as far as the amount of fuel in its tank. And storing compressed air requires "fuel" tanks that are stronger than steel to contain the thousands of pounds per square inch necessary.
On the bright side, compressing air in such a tank is a lot less dangerous than natural gas or hydrogen. Then there is the issue of filling the car's tank, most air compressors would take at least a couple of hours to do that.
Tata seems to be the only manufacturer that has committed to actually building an air-powered car. Honda unveiled an air-powered concept car in 2010, and a company called Zero Pollution Motors had promised to deliver one to the United States, but that was two years ago.
If Tata is successful, it will go a long way toward reducing emissions in India-and perhaps freeing cars from fossil fuels completely. (ANI)

Can 9 Years Old Gilr Teach how to sell??

recently read a study that confirmed my suspicion that most people don't remember what we present to them in a sales call. The data suggested that the average buyer in a meeting will only remember one thing–one!–a week after your meeting. Oh, and by the way: You don't get to choose what that one thing is. Sigh.
So what have sales professionals done about this? They have worked on "honing the message," developing a "compelling unique advantage" and, of course, the ultimate silver bullet: a surefire elevator pitch.
But here's what you're fighting: A world cluttered with information, schedules, packed with more meetings and work than a person can handle. A decision-making process with more people involved in every choice–many of whom know little about your product or service. No wonder so little is remembered; often your audience doesn't even understand much about what you're offering.
What Kids Want to Know
I have a 9-year-old daughter with spring freckles, long brown hair and blue eyes the size of silver dollars. She asks the kinds of questions that on the surface seem so simple:
  • Daddy, what do you do?
  • Why do people decide to hire you?
  • Why don't they hire somebody else or do it themselves?
One of the great things about 9-year-olds: Like many buyers these days, they lack context. Any answer that you provide has to be in a language that they can understand.
What does a procurement specialist know about what you sell–or the IT person, or the finance person? The challenge is this: Can you answer the three questions my 9-year-old asked, for your own business?
Hint: There are right and wrong answers for both.
Daddy, What Do You Do?
  • Right answer: "I help companies to grow really fast by teaching them how to sell bigger companies much larger orders."
  • Wrong answer: "Our company helps develop inside of our clients a replicable and scalable process for them to land large accounts."
Why Do People Decide to Hire You?
  • Right answer: "We have helped lots of companies do this before, so we are really good at it as long as they are the right type of companies."
  • Wrong answer: "We have a proven process for implementation that allows organizations to tailor the model to their market, business offering and company's growth goals."
Why Don't They Do It Themselves?
  • Right answer: "Just like when you learned to play the piano: Mommy and I could teach a little, but we don't know as much as your teacher, and teaching you ourselves would take a long time and be very frustrating. Daddy is a really good teacher of how to make bigger sales, and people want to learn how to do this as fast as they can."
  • Wrong answer: "We are the foremost expert in this field with over $5 billion in business that our clients have closed using this system. Usually our clients have tried a number of things on their own before we work together and have wanted outside help to get better results."
In these cases, both answers are accurate, but that doesn't make them right. In a world in which more decisions are made with less information and context, our responsibility is to get to as clear and memorable an answer as possible for all of the buyers to understand.
