Prepare for your future!

Good morning all! 

I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Nathan (call me Nate) and I am currently a Career Planning Peer in training. I am from Honolulu, Hawaii and currently a sophomore majoring in Finance and minoring in Legal Studies. I have been working with the Career Service Center (CSC) as a student assistant for about a year and a half now and love the family/Ohana atmosphere.  The CSC has become my home away from home. As a Career Planning Peer, I will be reaching out to students, staff, and alumni on this blog a couple times a week to give you updates on the CSC events, interesting things that happen on campus that could affect you, answer questions related to CSC, and bring up hot topics in the world today regarding the University/CSC. 

So today I want to talk to you guys about a current topic on the minds of most job-searching individuals which is China and how China is the future of the United States economic growth. China offers many business expansion possibilities as well as a thriving visitor’s market for the US. Which essentially mean jobs and economic stability, considering most jobs in the United States have turned into service based jobs (not manufacturing). But there are a few problems that come with China: the main problem is the difficulty for the Chinese to obtain visas due to strict regulations by both the US and Chinese governments. These problems affect business opportunities and the visitors market, which could result in the loss of millions of jobs for graduating college students, further affecting the future economy of the United States. With the increase cost of tuition and the loss of job opportunities, our future is in question. As students and recent alumni you might want to think about taking Chinese as a language and looking into doing business with China in the future or working for a Chinese based company. You might also want to encourage globalization and connections with China through the government to secure a safe bright future.  So look head and plan your future by coming into the Career Service Center for anything you need including direction, resume/cover letter help, interview help, and even job search help! Your future is now so plan plan plan! Aloha- Nate
