Abstract
The paper discusses the requirements for an individual to major in finance and succeed in this career. The paper outlines three lucrative careers open to finance majors, namely, financial analysts, financial consultants and working in commercial banking.

Finance Careers
Outlook
From the Paper
"To major in finance and succeed in finance as a career path requires more than a desire to simply 'make money'--it requires a genuine enthusiasm for working with people as well as numbers. Ideally, an employee with high aspirations in the finance industry will have a strong background in accounting combined with a personality that is "outgoing and inquisitive by nature" (Nich 2003). A good finance curriculum should provide a student with financial management tools "to succeed in analyzing and executing the financial aspects of managerial decisions" and the candidate's own charisma must convey to the client how certain decisions will enable the client to meet certain goals, using all of the realistic resources and options available."

From the Paper
"One hot job right now is brand manager. In the typical company, only the executive team and the brand management team have fingers in every pie. The accountants know the numbers. The sales people know what's going on in sales. The research and development types are stuck in the lab. But the brand managers are responsible for the "big picture." They coordinate everybody's efforts from production to advertising, to distribution, to finance. Brand Management staff work mostly in consumer goods companies. The typical staffer starts as a brand assistant."

A person seeking to enter the profession may begin to do so by means of internships, co-op programs and computer science training courses.

Comm). '

However, it should be supplemented with other courses such as biology and mathematics, depending on what area of public health that person would like to focus on. A person who wishes to have an edge for career advancement in public health should at least obtain a Masters degree. Having a graduate degree will enable a public health professional to further broaden his knowledge on local, national, and global legislative and social policies; he will be able to apply advance research methods; he will be able to develop multidisciplinary and collaborative strategies for tackling health issues, and he will be able to develop leadership skills necessary for health promotion and disease prevention."

"Biologists often face a number of ethical concerns that may drive their career choices (Winter and Belikoff). The use of animals in medical research is an ethical problem for many would-be scientists, as are ethically charged issues like human cloning and stem cell research. Biology careers focusing on wildlife conservation and related areas face many environmental issues. Careers in the pharmaceutical industry often bring up ethical issues surrounding drug cost and availability. For example, drug companies have been criticized for not making expensive AIDs treatments available to individuals in Africa for little or no cost."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the conclusions of economic historian, Claudia Goldin, that women have a difficult time in beginning a family and embarking on a career in the business world. The paper looks at M. Ferber and C. Greene's study that determined there were more females that were capable of achieving a family and professional life than had been previously suggested. The paper also examines a study by B. Probert on why women were not in higher levels of organizations. The paper explains the conclusions that the factor of the family affected women in their quest to achieve the highest goals in business and not merely gender inequality.
Outline:
Experimental Design
Case Study
Survey Research
From the Paper
"Ferber and Greene (2003) discuss the issue of a study conducted by Goldin in which the author suggested that women had a difficult time in "having it all". The term "having it all" referred to the ability to begin a family, while at the same time embark on a career in the business world. The researchers used a literature review experimental design for their work, evaluating the points of Goldin's article. Primarily the researchers determined that the issue of women having careers and families was described by Goldin as being difficult to achieve. Yet, Ferber and Greene (2003) concluded that not only did this conclusion lead women to believe that there was no point in attempting their personal and professional goals, but that it was inaccurate. Ferber and Greene (2003) determined that there was a vast number of women that were capable of achieving both goals, but that they were still unequal members of society."

Careers in Registered Nursing, 2004.
This paper discusses the current status of registered nursing in the United States, including typical wages and benefits and types of duties and responsibilities.
1,025 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 4 sources, APA, £ 22.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper stresses that there are over 100,000 vacant positions for registered nurses in the U.S. today, and the demand continues to grow; consequently, the career outlook is excellent. The author points out that the health care community has responded to market reforms over the past few years with a number of economic initiatives, including physicians passing more tasks along to registered nurses in order to be more price-efficient. The paper relates that in many regions of the country, registered nurses may represent the only qualified health care that is available for hundreds of miles around; in these cases, having a trained and qualified RN available may well make the difference between life and death for many rural Americans, especially among the elderly and pregnant women.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The great majority of professional (fully educated) nurses in all countries work in hospitals, and here their technical services have increased with advances in medical diagnosis and treatment. Intensive care units (ICUs) in large hospitals require many more highly trained nurses than the general wards, and such ICU units are increasing. The aging of the population, as people survive into the later decades of life, contributes to this increase. In addition, more institutional beds in almost all countries are being reserved for patients needing long-term care. Although much of this care is given by assistant nurses, regulations and custom demand their supervision by professional nurses. Future trends for registered nurses include expanded roles."

"Revolving Doors: Sex, Segregation and Women's Careers
by Jerry A. Jacobs
According to Jacobs, sex segregation in the workplace reflects not only the obstacles women face in male-dominated jobs, but also the aggregate instability in the careers of individual women. Such a view contrasts with attempts to explain gender inequalities in the labor market as resulting strictly from the cumulative effects of socialization processes, on the one hand, or from purely economic forces, on the other. Jacobs attempts to demonstrate the validity of his thesis through examining the consistency of competing job segregation models with the behavior of women in the labor market. Although the forces of social control operate at all levels to limit women's ..."
