Looking for a Job? Try Non Profits!

Making a profit (and a large one at that) is the primary objective and driving principle of capitalism. That said, the for-profit sector is currently in a shambles—mostly due to greed and stupidity of the so-called stewards of the American economy. Maybe it is time for many of us to abandon corporate greed in favor of job opportunities in the more philanthropic and altruistic not-for-profit sector. I was surprised to learn that, despite the current economic downturn, there are growing numbers of jobs at non-for-profit hospitals, clinics, civic organizations and education (pre-school, primary and secondary).
While these jobs typically pay less than for-profit ones, their for-profit equivalents may no longer exist. And, as we all know too well, having any job at all is a big plus in these dismal economic times. Unfortunately, not-for-profit jobs like their for-profit counterparts are not immune to economic realities and layoffs. Nevertheless, there are currently not-for-profit jobs out there and now may be as good of a time as any to check them out!
Until next time…
Good Luck and Good Job Hunting!!!!!!!
