Sentinal1566, consider this interpretation of Vocational vs. Professional.\nVocational careers are generally "Blue Collar" careers. Those such careers as are taught in trade or vocation schools (i.e., plumbing, electrician, carpenter, roofer, printing pressman, etc.) \nProfessional designations include such career choices, which require extended schooling, usually beyond a four year college degree (i.e., doctor, accountant, lawyer, chemist, pharmacist, etc.).\n\nHowever snobbish the terms are, please consider this regardless of your choice of careers, vocational or professional are verbs generally attributed to career categories. But remember please, within both categories exists persons whose actions may be considered professional as well as those whose actions prove to be unprofessional. Therefore, whatever your chosen, blue or white collar career choice, your ethics, morality, and integrity are really the measurements of "Professionalism". Your personal dedication to these characteristics are what, at least for me, define "PROFESSIONAL". To be professional is to lend credibility to a profession, whatever it may be. Even trash collectors may act professionally. \n\nAlternatively, an attorney or doctor, etc. who acts in ways, which are dishonest, deceptive and harmful to their promised oath are guilty of being UNPROFESSIONAL, and discredit their profession. In their cases, one would have to conclude, even thought they may put behind their names, Dr., PHD, Esquire, P,A., etc. thay are indeed not professionals.\n\nIn whatever your career choice, act professionally and you are indeed a PROFESSIONAL. Act professional and all will treat you as a PROFESSIONAL.

I am a vocational consultant and everyday I work to help people find jobs.  Here's what it comes down to;  Don't be afraid to call or talk to anybody.  Often finding a job is a numbers game.  Contact as many employers as you can.  By phone, by email, online.  Send out as many resumes (don't forget a good cover letter) as you can.  In interviews, it is important to be professional and likable at the same time.  Don't be afraid to utilize your schools resources.  Most schools have a career center or some sort of career services.  Certainly some are more helpful than others, but it is definitely worth your time to register with them and see if they can help you.  \nChecking out some career websites (monster.com, careerbuilder.com) can be helpful but some of them are also worthless.  Check out a few of the sites and determine which one tends to offer the most positions in your field.   Best of Luck to you!

The basic difference is that many farms today are computerized. The farmers have to know how to operate machinery. 50 years ago, farmers and their families still had to do everything manually. That is why it was important in those days to have more male children so as to have more working hands. Now this question is almost irrelevant, even one man can operate those machines. Hope that helps.

A degree is practically essential. Most "professional" jobs require it.\n\nYou can substitute experience, to some degree, for education, but not as an equal exchange. 4 years of college is roughly equivalent to 10 years direct on-the-job experience in many fields, so your time is better spent earning that degree, whenever possible.

The reason for vocational school is so people can learn about and persue more hands on.. trade related careers.  I've found they are starting to call Vocational schools, Community colleges now.  Basically the schools programs are trade related, the tuition is affordable and the programs run at the most two years.. depending on what course you take though... electricial and plumbing is a little different..\n\nI went to Vocational for an Industrial Rigging  program, it was a great program, cheap, and I got a great paying job immediately .. can't beat it.  My friends who spent way too much money for a University degree are still working dead end minimum wage jobs.. \nfor some reason they still make fun of the school I went to..

Apprenticeship are great.  They often lead to a job directly after the program, whereas in college, you'll get a degree, but you're not guaranteed a job afterward.\n\nIt's only downfall is that apprenticeship often involve one specific aspect of whatever career field it's geared towards, whereas colleges usually have a wider aspect of a variety of careers in a certain field.

Both.  I am employed in the private sector while also receiving a paycheck from a government job.  The government haven't noticed that I don't show up at work; they even sent me a perfect attendance bonus check last year!

A CV ( curriculum vitæ)  is a longer document than a résumé, and will include a comprehensive listing of professional history including every term of employment, academic credential, publication, contribution or significant achievement. In certain professions, it may even include samples of the person's work and may run to many pages. In contrast, a résumé is a summary typically limited to one or two pages highlighting only those experiences and credentials that the author considers most relevant to the desired position. CVs are the preferred recruiting tool for academic and medical professions while résumés are generally preferred for business employment.\n\n\nP.S.\nThe word résumé (often spelled resumé or resume) is used especially in the United States and in English Canada; the Latin term curriculum vitæ (often abbreviated CV) is instead used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, French Canada and some Commonwealth countries, as well as in the academic fields in North America, and in many languages other than English. In some regions (such as Australia and India) CV and résumé are used interchangeably.

As slang they both mean basically the same thing... what you do for a living. Occuptation is a little more formal.\n\nMore literal translation...\nTo have a job is to be employed (usually working for someone else).\n\nAn occupation is also what you do for a living. The insinuation for having an occupation is that it's more long term, probably involving you having training of some sort.\n\nExamples: I have a job as a store clerk at a seven eleven. (you wouldn't really say this is an occupation, unless you intend to dedicate your life to it)\n\nMy occupation is that I am an architect. (it's more WHAT you do for a living rather than where you work, and it's a dedicated career)\n\nI hope this helps.

People are provided with training basics (i.e. computer training, typing, resume building, etc.).  Typically the classes that are offered are vocational classes, and the job corp also works with employers to place you in a job once you have completed training.  Go to a search engine and type in job corps+the area where you live and you can get more specific  information.

A. It is not a job most people would want to do.\nB. People who take on this jobs tend to suffer from low self esteem and either have, or want to have, power over others to boost their self esteem.\nC. It's a job, not a career, so the professionalism is on par with Garbage hauler, Janitor, stable boy, etc.  Not anything others would tend to envy, thus those with aspirations, connections and education see the job choice, and the people who fill them, as inferior

If you excel, you should be able to get a comparable job in any of those fields.  You will be more likely to excel if you like the work you are doing.  So, I would recommend figuring out which one interests you more and going that way... The job market will fix itself.

A good career is one which is legal and provides for the necessities of life by means of a sufficient income.  A great career is one in which a person can live comfortably though not necessarily in luxury.  A really great career is one in which the needs are met financially, and you want to do that work.  Anything over that including luxury items is icing on the cake.  Most blue collar workers find themselves just happy to be able to eat.  Some white collar workers are the same way.  In some cases, a person can find himself earning a vast amount of income and not enjoying the income or the job.  You have to decide what is important and have sufficient job satisfaction to keep going.  Else, quite and do something else provided you won't starve doing it.
