I just want to know is there a trade that is in demand that I can learn in 2yrs. or less and be certified. I want to start my own business. Of course I know you need insurance and all that stuff. What should I do?

I am a college student beginning my senior year. I am a professional writing and editing major with a concentration in web communications and information technology.

I was originally hired as a receptionist but was changed to “web site coordinator.” My responsibilities include editing and maintaing the web site, writing content, editing/desgining graphics, creating electronic newsletters (pdf) etc.

I live in Ohio and I was hired in at .50 an hr as a receptionist. Now that I have taken on additional technical duties, I feel I deserve a raise when my probation is up in September. In reality I should be making around /hr for the web work, but I know they will never give me that much because they won’t even pay their veterinarian technicians that much.

I wanted to ask for /hr which is still very low in my opinion. I really think they are going to blow me off and say they are nonprofit and can’t pay me that much. I don’t think it’s fair because I am doing a lot of technical work, some which requires schooling, but they don’t want to compensate me. They offered me .75 and I find that to be really insulting.

What do you think?

I have to power a retirement community in Florida. I have 15 large condos, 3 beach houses, 3 restaurnats, a pool, gym, hot tub, sauna, grocery store, gas station, and several offices. They don’t have to power everything but I would like to be as green as possible. Also maybe other suggestions on good ways to go green.
