Stay-at-Home Moms Have Much to Offer the Working World

Stay-at-home moms play a valuable role in the household, taking care of kids, cooking, cleaning, appointments and more. However, stay-at-home moms often don't realize how much they have to offer the working world. With the current economic situation, stay-at-home moms may feel pressure to enter the workforce and bring home a second paycheck.

All stay-at-home moms need is a little training in high demand fields such as healthcare, information technology or business to get on their feet and enter the working world. Medical billing and coding are popular careers for stay-at-home moms because there is the possibility of working from home. Plus, training is available online through continuing education programs such as Kaplan Continuing Education.

Career Schools on the Rise

Getting a four year degree from a traditional college or university is not the only way to prepare for a career. In fact, six of the ten fastest growing occupational categories require less than a four year degree. Career schools offer accellerated training in these emerging professions to meet career goals. 

According to the Career College Association, enrollment in career schools increased 17% nationwide between 2004 and 2006. This resulted in 2 million students enrolled in career schools in 2006. Many of these students are the first in their family to attend a higher education institution. 

An education from a career school is a great investment. 75% of career school graduates reported higher earnings, compared to only 56% of graduates of public institutions.  

Career schools also tend to offer programs for the fastest growing industries. Healthcare is the fastest growing field, with a projected 3.5 million healthcare jobs by 2012. This increase makes healthcare a nearly recession proof field, especially with the aging baby boomer population.
