Careers Careers becomes Robert's Careers

Astute and frequent readers of CareersCareers will notice that the name of this blog has changed, and it's now called Robert's Careers. That's because of a recent change of domain for our blog, and we felt it was time for a new name. Along with the new name, we are planning some changes to the blog, ones that we hope you will find useful.

Here at Careers Careers...oops...Robert's Careers, we are bringing you information on various career choices, which will hopefully assist you if you are wondering what would make a good career choice for you, or if you are just curious about jobs and what different kinds of employment opportunities are available.

We have and will continue to provide information on career choices that are current, as well as some that might be a little odd. We are also firm believers in self-employment and so will always emphasize careers that have a self-employment, work at home aspect. You'll notice we usually try to point out whether or not a specific career lends itself to self-employment, or starting your own business.

Of course there are still lots of careers and jobs that really don't have an outlet for someone who wants to work for themself. There is nothing wrong with a career in one of those fields, especially if you are not particularly entreprenurial in nature. Not everyone is suited to their own business. I am not sure I am to tell the truth. I do like the structure of a permanent workplace, and not having the responsibility for everything to do with my income relying completely on me.

Having said that, I also know that the best way to earn money, and gain some financial independence often lies in becoming self employed, either by starting and running a full time business, or by starting a parttime small business that you can manage in your spare time. This is often the best way to get started. You maintain the security of a regular paycheck, while earning some extra money, and learning if your small business is viable, and if you really enjoy managing your own business.

Our plans for future posts include information about careers and business opportunities as we do today, as well as some tips and information about starting and running your own small business. We're also planning to investigate some franchise opportunities.

Sure hope you will come back!
