While many people look to their jobs for a source of income and security, the fact is that it's not always the best solution for all. With so many job seekers out there, it's hard to find one that will suit your needs. A change of scenery might be just what you need in order to realize your potential. In this blog post, we'll highlight some ways in which you can start anew and make something of yourself — even if that means changing careers entirely!
A lot of people often ask themselves how they can get their life back on track once they feel like quitting or just walking away from everything they love doing. But to answer this question, one should really ask what do we want out of life. Do we want a job that will help us get by and give us security or do we want to follow our passions? If you're someone who has always had an insatiable interest for something but never took the time to pursue it, then now is your chance! You can work on polishing up your talents at home while working on a few projects that might interest you in the long run. Learn the art of entrepreneurship, work on your writing skills, and do anything else that you have always wanted to do.
When you're a member of the working society and you need to sit in a cubicle for 8 hours per day, there's no way you'll be able to pursue your interests unless it's on the side. The only way for that is to take a breather from all this and just go out there and see what opportunities are available to you.
Sometimes a change of scenery has a similar effect as being on vacation. You have to take a break from your usual routine and go out there and discover something new that interests you. If you're a great cook for example, then offer to cater a party for friends and family. If you are good at writing, then give your articles a try in the local newspaper or blog. Keep an eye out for opportunities around you and see what happens!
Another way to kick start your creative juices is through freelancing or starting up small businesses of your own.
Job not easy for new youth
Youth unemployment is a major issue that haunts the world. It has led to many young people living on their own for the first time and taking on jobs such as in retail, hospitality, hairdressing or social work. It is a new generation of young people who are determined to find work and work hard but sometimes struggle with being seen as resilliant contenders for employment opportunities by employers. This blog seeks to explore this issue of youth unemployment, including its origins, impacts on society and challenges faced by young peoples' career aspirations.
What is youth unemployment?
Youth unemployment refers to people aged between 16 and 24 who are out of work and/or not in education, training or employment. There is also no question that they have the potential to work, but they have little or no chance of getting a job. For example, a study found that 70 percent of young people interviewed had applied for a job within the previous three months but fewer than 10 percent had been offered one. The survey also found that 68 percent felt their future career was not yet well-defined whilst only 31 per cent felt their careers were well-defined.
Youth unemployment is a major global problem. The International Labour Organization (ILO) reported in 2011 that young people account for over one fifth of the world's total unemployed population, with an estimated 73.5 million young people between 15 and 24 who were either without work or underemployed, which means an insufficient number of jobs were available. The ILO also stated that youth unemployment has surged in the aftermath of the recent economic crisis with an estimated 12 million young people affected by it. The global figure is expected to rise to 15 million by the end of 2015.
The global figures are worrying, but it is a problem that also affects different countries in different ways. In the USA, youth unemployment has fallen from 20 percent in October 2010 to 12 percent in January 2014. This change has been attributed to an increase in youth employment and "stronger than expected" job market conditions have reduced the need for young people to take on low-paying jobs such as food service or retail.
But other countries have not seen unemployment among young people drop over the same period and still face huge challenges to young peoples' future career prospects.
