I've got a HSE Certificate but the industry is being choked to death by people with no common sense. I'm now doing a job in Quality Control as I'm also an ex Electrical Engineer as well. We have new management who say we must have Quality qualifications but being in work I can't have time off as I do shifts. Anyone know a good site and what qualification let me know as I'm happy where I am at the moment :D

I'm a junior in college and I finally chose a major. I chose Food Science because the food industry in the number one industry in the country. The Food Science program at my school has a 100 percent job placement and the average starting salaries is 40 to 55K. I know the usual degrees that offer a high paying job is Engineering, Accounting, and Finance. But what if you have no interest in those majors, what degree could you receive that would offer you around the same amount of money?

Ok, so i live in the UK and i'm currently in my first year of AS and it's about that time i need to start thinking about my future. First of all, i am unsure of what degree to do. Currently my ideal job would be something that would involve working with animals however i do tend to change my mind a lot. My first question is should i do i general biology degree or something more specific such as zoology? I have done some research into working with animals but i haven't got very far. I know that these kinds of jobs don't tend to offer very high pay. So i was wondering what the best sort of career would be if i wanted to work with animals and also what sort of career working with animals would give offer a higher salary than the others. Also, what other careers would be available to me with my biology degree that could also be interesting and offer a lot of pay? TL;DR: Should I do Biology or zoology? What hands on careers are there with animals? What careers with animals get paid a lot? What other careers are there in biology that are interesting and have high pay? Thank you to anyone who takes the time to help :)

I work at a marine electrical and electronics company and we are primarily operated by ex-navy. The standards that are met in the navy transition quite well with the quality of work that we insist on giving our customers. That said, I find it tough to find good employees through veterans of unemployment. Is there another option to find a good naval electrical (motor control and generator paralleling) or electronics (radar & sonar troubleshooting)?

I currently work for an IT company doing technical support for businesses. They call in or send us an e-mail and we fix their computer. I am a very hands on person and like to take things apart and love new technology. Or possibly working for high tech security companies I am just not sure where to look for these jobs or even the job titles. Any advice would be appreciated.
