The Fastest Track To Success

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicts that information technology related talents will be in high demand:

1. Information Technology (IT) Specialists
The BLS predicts faster growth for these careers than the average growth for all other occupations through 2014. IT management and consulting jobs will grow by 55.4 percent.The candidates with the best prospects will have masters or MBA degrees with an emphasis on technology from campus-based or online degree programs.The commitment: advanced education in project management, e-commerce, networking, and programming, among other specializations. Median salaries for IT specialists approach six figures.

2. Database Administrators
Database administrators, the BLS predicts, will be "among the fastest growing occupations through 2014." You'll be able to enter the profession with as little training as an associate degree, but the best-paid database administrators will hold a bachelor degree in computer science or information systems, with a specialization in tools that help organizations to manage data. To stay updated with technology, you will probably need to enroll in online courses to bone up on the latest software. To become successful and promoted, it is important to receive master's degree in business administration (MBA), with an IT concentration. Top salaries reach over $100,000 a year.

3. High-Tech Marketing
It used to be that a simple undergraduate degree in marketing, advertising, or public relations could help you land a promotions job. But these days, high-tech firms want their marketing group to know how their products work and have a solid background in technology. If you're want to succeed in marketing, you need to return to school to learn the essence of the tech products you sell. The easiest approach is to obtain an online MBA degree program while still keep your current marketing job. Many companies will pay for your online training in software, networks, or security. The BLS predicts growth in marketing jobs to outstrip the average growth for all other jobs in the economy through 2014. You can expect to travel a lot, and earn a lot, too. Median annual earnings for high-tech markers are already over $110,000 with more room to grow.

4. Digital Design & Graphic Arts
Though you may be able to enter the profession with an associate's degree, most entry-level positions will require at least a bachelor's degree with specializations in digital design software. The greatest job growth will be in interactive digital design for media artists working on projects for web sites, cellular phones, and computer games. Digital design schools offering degrees or certifications in media arts are available from online colleges as well as campus and vocational schools. Among all the graphic design professions, digital designers will find the most new jobs through 2014. You will be looking at $60-$90K once you've got some projects going.

  • A Rocky Recovery for Home Depot

    Wall Street is hoping for a strong economic recovery, but again and again investors are disappointed by signs that American consumers remain cautious and careful about opening their wallets. The latest evidence arrived Nov. 17, when Home Depot (HD) reported earnings.

    Home Depot's profits actually beat expectations, but what worried Wall Street was the picture executives painted of their customers' moods. "There is still a great deal of pressure in the housing and home improvement markets, though there are some positive signs of stabilization," Frank Blake, Home Depot's chairman and chief executive said in a statement.

    There are at least a few reasons for Home Depot to be upbeat. Many sales measures did improve from the second quarter to the third.

    According to comments to analysts by Blake and other executives, Home Depot customers are happy to spend on simple home remodeling projects. Basic maintenance -- plumbing repairs, for example -- is still being done. Customers are also launching do-it-yourself projects, including boosting the energy efficiency of their homes. Finally, customers are updating the decor with new coats of paint or new carpet, or sprucing up their yards with better gardens.

    What Americans aren't doing, however, is launching major remodeling or expansion projects. Executives said lumber, hardware, electrical and mill work sales all underformed. The average customer's sales ticket was down, a sign contractors are still spending a lot less at Home Depot, the world's largest home improvement chain.

    The caution from Home Depot on the consumer environment echoed comments from rival Lowe's (LOW) when it reported earnings on Nov. 16. Lowe's chairman and chief executive Robert Niblock said in a statement:

    The broad-based pressures of the macro environment are clearly evident in our sales as consumers continue to delay large purchases until they feel better about the economic outlook.

    Home Depot's gloomy outlook sent share tumbling more than 3% lower by midday on Nov. 17. Lowe's shares also slipped.

    But focusing on one day's stock performance might overstate the significance of current pessimism about the U.S. consumer. Home Depot shares are still up 7% in November, while Lowe's shares have risen almost 10%. Third quarter results may discourage unrealistic investor expectations, but they don't mean the U.S. consumer is hopeless in 2010 and beyond.

    And, analysts praised Home Depot's ability to cut costs. Morgan Stanley (MS) analyst Matthew McGinley wrote:

    To the extent that it is sustainable, this [cost-cutting] reflects the potential to expand margins dramatically in a sales upturn. ... [Home Depot] management deserves an award for cost control in 2009, but the stock may pause unless we see confirming evidence that 2010 [sales trends] will be positive.

    "While the stock should give back some of its recent gains," JPMorgan (JPM) analyst Christopher Horvers noted, sales and profit margins should improve. "We believe a longer view is appropriate."

    Robert W. Baird analyst Peter S. Benedict also saw the glass as half full. "Bottom line," he wrote: "More signs of stabilization here, and we see improved trends going forward."

    The big question for Lowe's and Home Depot is how long the U.S. consumer continues to put off major home improvement projects. Many Americans may be contemplating major addition to their houses or the construction of a new deck or garage. But they can't be expected to make such major expenditures until their confidence -- in their jobs and in their investments -- truly returns.
