Life direction connects
to everything else. So, you'll find all kinds of links below, but they
will all have one thing in common—helping you live a better quality
life, which can enhance your life-as-career developing.
Each of the following
web addresses I have personally used, evaluated, and liked. I will add
to them from time to time.

Occupational Outlook Handbook
2. Scholarships
This address links you
with the Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH). Here, you can check out
any occupation you can think of. It gives information on nature of the
work, working conditions, employment, training, job outlook, earnings,
and related occupational information, everything you want to know about
any given occupation. Students priorit to the Internet era had to look
through a large book, you have the luxury of surfing the Internet for
that info which affords you the opportunity to run into a lot more related
information.
This site
offers you many important bits of information including calculators to help
you with such things as college cost worksheet, savings planner, future
cots & savings, and monthly loan payments. It offers grant information
as well. This site is full of helpful information.
If you open up a browser
and enter the word "Scholarship," you will turn up thousands
of pages. I found 415,000 pages on scholarships alone. So, the information
is there if you're motivated.

http://bestwebbuys.com
This site compares all kinds
of items from different sites giving you the opportunity to purchase at
the lowest possible price. For instance, a book may sell for $13.95 but
with shipping may cost anywhere from $16 to $19, and frequently you can
find used copies with anywhere from $3 to $6 less. So, it's a good site
that sells books, music, video, electronics, bikes, etc.I bought a printer
off the web from USaveGelt.com and that same model had a price range from
$78 to $249 so if you didn't have a site that pulled together these prices,
you would not save anywhere from a little to a bundle of money.

http://www.e-opinions.com
After checking this site, I notice it is for sale. However, it will most
likely continue. I bumped into this site when while shopping on line for
a digital camera. My first line of defense is usually Consumer Reports,
then on to shopping. However, based on consumer comments I found on e-opinions,
I changed my mind about the camera Consumer Reports had rated as No. 1.
Reader opinions suggested it was difficult to use, battery ran out fast,
and several other things that caused me not to buy it. I finally settled
on a Nikon Coolpix that has a rechargeable battery. Digital cameras really
eat batteries, so if you are in the market for a digital consider that
aspect because building your wealth base for future security means taking
care of little things like throwing away numerous batteries.

http://www.consumerreports.com
Consumer Reports have
been around for a long time and I think worth a subscription. That's the
first site I hit when I want to buy an important item.

http://clarkhoward.com/
I found this show in 1999
while driving. I think it is a wonderful site. You can sign up for his
monthly newsletter. When you receive the letter, he details by number
what he will focus on for that month. You can quickly scan the list and
pick out what works for you. If it's nothing, then hit delete. This is
a site worth knowing about.

http://www.movedirect.net
A site where you can enter
your inventory (items to be moved), they e-mail it around the country
to movers, and the next morning you get numerous bids on your move.
I received 6 bids the next morning. Four of them around $3,000 for the
same weight that a local mover wanted $5,000 to move

Elisabeth Johnson-Kallos,
PhD, Editing & Translation Service. Elisabeth is a former student of David
V. Tiedeman, and in his words, "One of the brightest students I've
ever had the privilege of working with." I, Anna, agree with that
assessment. In addition, Elisabeth thinks beyond editing which offers
added value to students.
