This morning on Today’s Money, are you ready for a fresh new start? That is the question posed in the latest issue of Money magazine. Recently, it did a survey along with salary.com that showed about 60% of people would love a different career. Among those people wanting a change, Moms looking to get back into work place. So is it an impossible task or not with the help of agencies, like Mom Corps1.?
34-year-old Allison O'kelly from Atlanta, Georgia, is a wife, mother of two, and the founder2 of Mom Corps.
Mom Corps is a staffing company for professionals.
Not just any professionals, but some of the hardest working women out there, moms.
We are very focused on finding out what are your specific needs. Can you work full time, but you don’t want to work during summer? Or can you only work 20 hours a week, or can you only work within a 10-mile radius3 of a certain city. And those are things that we focus on..
The goal, to help parents enter back into the work world with flexible schedules, or help moms make the switch from full time to part time.
We have 4000 moms now in our database.
Here’s how it works. Potential candidates submit their resumes online, Wrap's MomCorps partner up with companies that can accommodate flexible hours. It doesn’t cost the moms anything. The clients pay for placement.
There are a lot of those moms who stay at home, because they feel that they need to, that they don’t have any other options. When they have the options, and they find out they’re available. Typically, they are pretty excited about that opportunity.
Like 46-year-old Becky Young of North Cross Georgia.
Becky is really interesting. She had been out of the work force for 8 to 10 years. She has four children. She is a CPA. she was a controller of several companies. Fabulous4 resume. And she was trying to go back to work..
As a mom, I feel get out of business, people look at you differently, it's very demeaning, and as I said you got so many times, or just ignore you.
Thanks to Mom Corps, Becky now works as a contract employee for an accounting5 firm in Atlanta.
Nowadays my schedule is nine to two. It's additive6 quality in my life. And it made me feel like I’m contributing, and not that you don’t contribute when you live as Mom. You contribute a time. But it’s more tangible7.
Jean Chatzky is Today’s financial editor. Hey, Jean. Good morning.
Good morning.
Mom Corps, I like the sound of that. But what if you don’t live in that area?
Well, Mom Corps is actually growing so fast, they already have offices, and I think something like 6 cities. But there are other agencies with names like On rumps, Springing up to do the very same thing.
So just check in your local area. Well, with this survey, we talked about the introduction, Money magazine talked with 12000 people?
Right.
60% of whom said we’d like to change careers. That means there’s a lot of people in this country stuck doing something they don’t wanna do. Why don’t they change, is it an uncertainty8?
I think it is a financial uncertainty. We are coming out of a time when it was difficult to get jobs, or now at a time when it is a little bit easier. So if you are thinking you’d like to make a change, it’s OK to go for it.
And you go on in the magazine. The magazine goes on to suggest some possible jobs or careers where there is a demand right now. And you might find work for parents in particularly getting back to work. You say the job of executive recruiter was golden. Why?
Parents want hourly flexibility9. They want to be able to do something challenging, but they wanna make their own hours. You can interview people at any time, and in a job like this, the advancement10 is based on your performance, not on the clock.
How about the openings? 83000 openings for executive recruiter.
Between now and the year 2014, when they look at these careers, all of them, it was looking at the next ten years.
But what about, what experience do you need to do that job?
Well, you may need to go back for some retraining. But if you're already staying at home with your kids, you've got a perfect time to do it.
Next job, you suggest nonprofit manager. Between now and 2014, 49000 openings.
That’s because the transition here is really pretty easier. A lot of parents who've stayed at home are already volunteering. If you want to see, you can convert that to an actual paying position.
And look at the opening salary, there are 42000 dollars to about 72000 dollars. Parents are not the only ones looking to get back into the work field. What about people who are 50 or older, who want a change, that what we call a second act.
Right. These people are basically saying, all right, we have put in our time. We wanna do something that’s a little more emotionally fulfilling, And for that person, you wanna look at a job, one that on your list is a patient representative, anything in the field of health care is gonna be particularly hot.
Since it is never going away.
Particularly now, with the older boomers, it is so not going away. Patient representatives are those people who interface11 between the hospital, or the doctor and the actual patient.
And by the way, 79% of people surveyed over 50 said: we wanna do something that helps my community, which is a good example there- public school teacher.
A lot of retaining is going on for older workers. There is a huge need. Half million public school teachers will be needed in the next ten years. So there’s a lot of community’s training their own.
And when we talked about people over 50 changing careers, this is now the norm, as opposed to the exception, very few people stay with one line of work for their entire lives anymore.
That’s right. 3 is more the average. We know we have about 12 different jobs and 3 different careers over our life span. Because we are working so much longer, we are not slowing down and stopping it at 55 or 65. We wanna keep going.
Let me go through some of these other jobs quickly that you think are going to be hot jobs for the future. Product or brand manager, what exactly is that?
That is somebody who actually manages a product, like Cleanax, or a brand and even people are brands these days. That’s why there are so much additional need for that. But it can grow into a bigger marketing12 jobs. So if you have a mix of creative and massive skills, this is a good bid.
All right, I’m going to be now on my business card, Today's show host and product manager, I'll like that.
Here you go, and brand.
Yes, and brand manager. Registered nurse, 55000 to 68000 salary.
And we need a million plus of these between the year now and 2014.
Very quick. What about people who wanna start their own thing, going to business for themselves?
It is fine, but you've got to have a year’s worth of money stashed13 away, because it's going to take you a good 8 months to know if this business is going to make it or not.
Alright, good information, Jean, thank you very much.
My pleasure.
And Jean, by the way, said she's going into, she's becoming a bake.
a baker14, baker.
you said: what would you do, and I said: I bake.
we'll be back to you with local news.
