Trades And Technology Career Guide and Counseling

Question: i have a chance to study a vocational skill, should i go for automotive technology or building trades tech? Building Trades Technology (which includes carpentry, HVAC, electricity, plumbing, and remodeling and repair) OR Automotive Technology?? I want the one that will give me the best short term job while i finish up my degree in college. The one that will pay the best/best opportunity/best job quality/opportunity for the future in general. Best skill to learn now that might be usefull later. So which one?! Ok, well to give more details, I am a female studying engineering and might possible switch to chemistry/biochemistry/or nursing. These are both skills ive always been interested in (building and auto) and I don't even know the bare minimum basics when it comes to cars, so i'd have to learn it all.

Answer: Do the BTT. Gives you more options depending on where you live. AT can be used ANYWHERE though, but I'd do the BTT. Especially if it offers welding as an option.

Question: How will green technology affect trades? I would especially like to know about how green tech will have a positive effect on boilermakers and their work. If you star, I will be more likely to choose as best answer.

Answer: green tech will affect how people set up their businesses and some companies will start to go out of business if they aren't strong enough.

Question: should i study Automotive Technology or Building Trades Technology??

Answer: If you are looking at nursing or biochem I would skip the building trades thing and just try to get a job in one of those fields. Having no previous experience in trades or mechanics is going to require a ton of time that would be better spent on your major. You are not going to be able to work as a mechanic unless you are ACE certified in at least one category and that could take a long time. Building trades normally require a full-time job/apprenticeship for at least a year if you want to be a journeyman which may not allow a lot of time for college. You could easily get a job doing some sort of building trade if you want to forego major certification like journeyman status. Roofing/painting/carpentry/tile work are some jobs that you can jump right into during the summer or whenever with minimal or no prior experience. If a bunch of non-english speaking immigrants can put in a hardwood floor then so can you. Plus like the girl above me said, it will probably be easier to leverage seeing as HGTV is so popular now. Point being, finish the degree and get a small part-time job on the side if you have to and only do small time trades stuff.

Question: Why aren't technical schools teaching solar technology along with other trades? Are we going to have to import technically competent people from China in order to be able to use solar energy?

Answer: We are a gasoline based economy. The funding is not made available for solar programs at State Universities. You can study geology and everything related to oil exploration, because the government has made the funding of these programs in public universities available. When our government gets different leadership with an eye for the urgency of the need for developing this technology , things will turn around. Meanwhile you can study solar technology at Oxford, England, and in Japan at most universities, and in Germany at most engineering universities... Solar technology us usually taught as part of an aerospace engineering program. Maybe you will be the one to make a change!

Question: What are the effects of science and technology on trade and commerce? What are the effects of science and technology on trade and commerce?Kindly give examples..thanks!=*

Answer: Advancements in technology have many effects on trade and commerce. First and foremost advancements have made international trade not only more feesible but a lot quicker. Think e-mail and phone versus literal mail. It has also allowed information to become more accessible to not only producers but consumers. Think Internet again. Consumers can find out whatever they want to know about the production of certain products and about readily available substitutes or compliments that they may want to purchase in conjunction with a product. Think Amazon recommending other products you might want to purchase based on your previous purchases. Also the easier accesible information has made markets more competitive rather than monopolistics, because anyone can find out what they want at any moment. It is harder for countries to hold monopollies nowadays because of the freedom and ease of communication technologies. Advancements in technology has also made it more efficient for countries to produce certain products and services. For example China and Japan are better suited to produce automobiles than countries in Africa (extreme) or even the U.S. The advance technology and greater productivity has not only made it easier for Japan to make automobiles but it has also make it less costly for them. This cost savings is then passed onto the consumer. Another good example would be looking at the majority of industries in a country. By this I mean are they a country that focuses on producing services or manufactured goods. The U.S. for example has workers that have developed higher cognative and thinking skills that workers in Latin America. These higher cognative skills are better suited for service industries such as banking, whereas Latin America is better suited to manufacturing due to the lack of technological advancement and education there. hence what you see is an outsourcing of manufacturing job to areas such as Latin America and the Middle East and an increasing demand for service jobs in the United States and some European coutries. Finally science and technology has increased/facilitated the rate at which globalization takes place. Hope this helps!

Question: For those who play Civilization IV, I've got a question. How come it takes forever to discover a technology? I've checked various message boards on this game and none of them have answered my question. I've noticed that in one game, it would take me over 200-300 turns to get to one specific technology. Often, I would have to trade technologies or bribe another ruler for a specific tech. (or hope I get a scholar in a specific city to help with the advancements). Why does this happen? Is it the way I've advanced my game or the size of my "country?"

Answer: That's a strange problem. The only time I see such a situation is when the country is in "Anarchy" state for 1 or 2 turns when I change the government type and those stuff. Well, some factors including the percent of money spend between research and culture, and the number of city. In a city, certain improvement such as university or observatory for example, contributes a certain amount of research point In that sense, if you are they kind of player that builds almost every improvement including those that adds reseach points, then the more city you have, the more research points you have and the faster your reseach is. That means, as you advance into the game, your research points goes up. Just make sure you expand and build those research improvement Then, for the tech, newer tech takes more research points to complete. This is not a problem if you research every tech because you gradually move to more advance tech as your empire expands, so both requirement of research as well as your empire's research points goes up together and you don't see the difference But if you tries to rush to a certain advance tech by just research a certain path towards that tech, then your research requirement will increasingly exceeds your capability because the more advance the tech is, the more research it requires and you sort of research an advance tech "a little too soon" and your tech starts to take longer and longer Anyway, have you check http://forums.civfanatics.com/ ? I think they should be able to give you at least some good advice. The users there are mostly advance players. I'm just a casual player, lol

Question: How do you think advances in technology have changed foreign trade? How do you think advances in technology have changed foreign trade?

Answer: Technology has opened markets that previously didn't have access to many consumer goods. Also, look at the way even something simple like shipping has benefitted by the easy tracking, faster and better organized transportation and the ability to get packages out ASAP. Even ships are loaded and unloaded in hours when it used to take a day. We now reach markets and deliver faster than ever.

Question: what were the changes in trade patterns and technology in the years 1470-1750 CE? what were the changes in trade patterns and technology in the years 1470-1750 CE? for Europe, America, world, any countrys

Answer: Basically what changed throughout this period was the mindsets of the people in military and trade professions. Exploration and colonization brought increased world trade and competition between world powers. This sudden spike in world exploration can be attributed to first the crusades and the search for the treasures of the east, but is later brought about by the travels of Marco Polo and the writings of many renaissance writers glorifying the east. Exploration and colonization soon provided the raw materials for these world powers to begin manufacturing other goods therefore, spurning advancements in technology. The Great Enlightenment which emphasized the importance of science and new technologies ultimately led to the Industrial Revolution.
