I'm 15, I am struggling to decide on some career options. I am torn between law and telecommunications. One of the jobs I am interested in is a Network Engineer but I am not 100?ure of what they do. I understand that they setup and configure networks for clients but I have many holes in my knowledge. Do they have to know Linux, windows, mac? If so, to what extent? How long would I be in education for until I reach the qualifications required? And what qualifications do I need? Thanks!

And to make it more easier, just tell me whats the type of comp jobs that pays more then $30 per hour. Not to mention, what type of courses are required to get this job? Last, is it possible to get any of these jobs in under 3 yrs of college courses (computer classes, of course). Also, whats the name of the major that is best suited for it? Last, make sure its a job where it does not include anything with creating/building/fixing computers (well, except of soft wares, games, or computer programs)

We had children in the last decade so my wife was a stay at home mom. In her mid 20's when she was working she was a project manager making $80,000 a year. She managed more than 50 engineers during her busiest schedules. She has a 4 year degree in Business Management with an emphasis on Telecommunications management (think networks and call centers). She doesn't want to get a job making $30,000 a year. She feels her intelligence, experience, and value all exceed an entry level worker's salary. The problem is she has a huge gap. We've bought and sold a few rental properties, managed tenants, repairs, collected rent. We are thinking about making up some back story about all this to justify that she spent a decade at home. This has us feeling uneasy. Any idea how she could make entry into the work force at a respectable (above $60,000/yr) salary?

I live in Alberta, I know the obvious answer is oilfeild work. But it's for my boyfriend who is 20. He has had the same job since he was 16 and so finding a high paying full time job is difficult because of his lack of experience. He did his first year of commerce but has since given up on post-secondary. Any ideas or suggestions? I just finished a two year program and I am making awesome money in the insurance industry. What can I suggest to him since he cannot commit to school?
