Why I like teaching job?

Monday, June 16th, 2008

I love Teaching job for a variety of reasons; it is not a well-suited job for every one. Many new teachers leave within the first 3-5 months of teaching. Here are my top ten reasons why I like a teaching job.

1. Teaching a subject helps you learn a subject
You will never learn any topic better than when you start teaching. I remember my first semester of teaching. I had taken English courses in college and taught, I knew what I was doing. It was really hard to me but year by year it becomes easier for me .Teaching job increases my abilities to teach as well as to learn.

2. Daily Humor
If you have a positive attitude and sense of humor, you will find things to laugh about each day. Sometimes it will be silly jokes you will make up as you teach that might get a laugh from students. Sometimes kids share their jokes with you. And sometimes will come out with the funny statement without realizing what they have said. Find a fun an enjoy the life being a teacher!

3. Affecting the future
It is true; teachers mold the student’s future each day in class. It is a fact that you will see some of these students more consistently day to day than their parents will.

4. Staying younger
Being around young people every day helps me remain knowledgeable about current trends and ideas. The more interesting fact of Teaching job which I like.

5. Autonomy in classroom
Once a teacher closes the door each day and begins teaching, they really are the ones who decide what’s going to happen. Not many jobs provide an individual with so much ease to be creative and autonomous each day.

6. Conductive to family life
If you have children, the school calendar will allow you to have the same days off as your kids.

7. Job security
Once you have proven yourself a successful teacher, it is relatively easy to move around and find a new job state –to-state.

8. Summer off
In the summer vocations you can choose to get another job, teach summer school or just relax and vacation. That’s why Teaching job is one of the best profession.

Pakistan Unemployment: Causes and Solutions

Friday, June 13th, 2008

Pakistan Unemployment: Causes and Solutions
Unemployment is a central problem of Pakistan because when unemployment is high, resources are wasted and people’s incomes are depressed; during such periods, economics distress also spills over to affect people’s emotions and family lives. The socio economics system of Pakistan and institutions has failed to provide employment to the increasing labor force. Labor force include all persons who are of ten years and above , and during the period are without work, currently available for work and seeking for work. About 2.4 million persons of labor force were estimated as unemployed in 1999, as construction and transport sectors have an absorbed 11.2 percent, 6.8 and 5.7 percent as compared to 10.5percent, 7.2 and 5.0 percent respectively in 1994-1995.

Major Causes of Unemployment:

  1. Employment in the private sector absolutely stopped because they shifted their capital to other countries because of nationalization of industrial units badly affected the investment industrial sector.
  2. The higher growth rate of population is the major cause of unemployment in Pakistan. The resources of the country are limited because population has exceeded the optimum level.
  3. Karachi is the biggest industrial base of Pakistan, but investors are reluctant to invest there because of unrest and violence.
  4. Our educational system is also responsible for increasing unemployment rate among the educated youth. The attitude of our youth towards the choice of a career is unrealistic and unproductive. Rapid mechanization and computer technology also causing unemployment.
  5. Lack of infrastructure and facilities in the field of energy, telecommunication and transportation also prevent the industrialist from setting up new industries.
  6. Lack of enough industries to employ ever increasing number of graduate in Pakistan
  7. The government is not involving in capital expenditures which create more jobs.
  8. Main issue of unemployment in our country is that when ever a new technology comes as software or hardware then all the people starts studying about that. Then at the end, you will see ten thousand students of a particular field about 5 to 10 job vacancies.
  9. Things are not handled in appropriate manner, as the vacancies are less but job seekers are more than that.
  10. Opportunities are not enough and system of reference is so much indulged in our society that if a company needs employees then workers of that company will provide some resume to them of their relatives and friends so in this way many people don’t get the opportunity to apply for those jobs.

Suggestions:

  1. Economic Revival package should announce by the government for the revival of industries sector, to stimulate production and investment.
  2. Government should try to boost exports through broadening the tax base and lowering tariffs.
  3. Government should announce multiple packages for the development of agriculture sector.
  4. A number of fiscal and monetary measures should take attract industrialists and particularly foreign investment.
  5. Technical training facilities should be provided. In this way unemployed people will get a chance to enhance their skills and become able to earn more reason able income.

But as these days software companies are growing and new companies are starting their business very rapidly so, I hope ratio of unemployment will become low soon.
