To Have A Job Or Not To Have A Job?

Today in Trinoma Mall in Quezon City, young professionals are in rush to get that dream job. The event is Adexhibit’s 2nd National Career Fair 2009. Mostly, as always, are BPO or Call Center industries are available jobs. There are Medical Conglomerate companies and Overseas Employment jobs that are open for hiring. In the overseas jobs section, Middle East countries are prevalent for job hiring.


What will happen to these young professionals if they will just rely on their job as their source of income? Their knowledge and skills becomes obsolete everyday. A lot here are registered nurses and some of them told me they are accountants. They have even no job to work for their skills. They end up in call centers which the turnover rate in the industry is becoming higher and higher.

Young Professionals should learn to look for business opportunities while they have a job. Having a single and limited stream of income will not bring you anywhere else. What we need in our time is to have multiple streams of income.
