Turning A Hobby Into A Career

Posted: 7/29/2010

Not all learning takes place in a classroom. Hobbies can also introduce a child to skills needed in a future career.

Not all learning takes place in a classroom. Hobbies can also introduce a child to skills needed in a future career.

(NAPSI)-Often, the lessons we learn the best are those we learn while doing something we love. That's why getting a child involved in a hobby such as model railroading, radio control planes and cars or model kit building can be the first steps to acquiring the skills necessary to fill the high-paying jobs in tomorrow's industries.

This is good news, since the U.S. Department of Labor reports that the United States will enjoy a near 14 percent growth rate in jobs in the areas of installing and repairing various kinds of equipment. It's estimated that 40 percent of this growth will be in auto mechanics and general repair services. The refrigeration, air-conditioning and heating installation industries are expected to grow the fastest.

The downside is there will not be enough people in the U.S. to fill those positions.
