How are jobs in Australia different from the jobs in the United States?
We have protected classes (race, age, sex, sexual orientation, disability, veteran status, religion) here in the US, so if you fire someone or do not hire them based on their membership in these classes then you are subject to major fines and other disciplinary actions from the government. Also, you can fire who you like but if the employee can prove it was for an illegal reason (such as they are a member of a protected class or they would not perform sexual favors for a boss) the fired employee can sue for big time cash.
Reply:I do not think that "jobs" are very different. I think that some legal issues may be different. There are some crazy answers on this question board! lol
Reply:They're more readily available and there's worker protection which means you can't get fired for being gay, having kids, needing sick time or family time etc.
Reply:I know that in the USA they only get limited holidays, in some cases only two weeks in the whole year. Whereas in Australia you usually get 20 days and sometimes more if you have a good job.

What jobs could i get if i major in sociology or history?
I am really interested in Sociology and History, but im afraid that if i major or minor in those subject that i wont get a good job later on in life. Does anyone know of any jobs there are that involve sociology or history? (and i dont mean jobs like a history teacher or counselor.)
And if not does anybody know what a good major is?

Well, as a sociology/criminology major, I can tell you there are not a whole lot of "good" jobs out there aside from research or teaching jobs. It helps to have a area of specialty within the field, such as criminology or statistics that way you have more to offer than a basic sociology degree. Sociological research is very interesting, but there is not a lot of money in that, unless you have an advanced degree, for instance, a masters in sociological stastical analysis, in which case, researchers under grants will hire you to analyze thier sociological data.
In addition, criminology/sociology majors often provide a good foundation for law school if politic science does not interest you.
I'm rambling, but the point is, it's interesting, but needs to be combined with other areas of study in order to be more lucrative in the long run.
I loved my major, but it's just not realistic for somone who doesn't want to do social work, law enforcement, or research/teaching. After getting my criminology 2 years ago, I am just now going back to school for medicine.
Reply:History:
Teaching
Research
Sociology-depending on the degree and other courses taken with it:
Teaching
Research
Social Worker
That is pretty much it. It is what I was told at the college I attended to get my AA. History gives you more teaching options (schools and income). Research jobs are hard to come by.
Note: School counselor is more in the line of psychology not sociology.
The medical field is the largest and fastest growing right now. My next suggestion would be to try business administration or computer science.
Reply:Sociology %26amp; History are not good majors if you want to be highly marketable after graduation and stand a good chance of making fairly good money. I suppose you could shoot for a position as a sociologist, but that would likely mean having to pursue an advanced degree. As a history major, I suppose you could try to seek a position like a lead guide in a history museum. Slim pickings, knawmean?
Some great undergraduate majors are accounting(actually, there are lots of good majors within business schools), computer science, and physical therapy.
Reply:If you get a Ph.D. in these fields, you can teach them on a university level. If you stop with a B.A. or a B.S., the only way you can directly use them at all is by teaching in secondary school.

What jobs were available to women in America from the mid 1800s to the mid 1900s?
Legal jobs such as factory working and illegal jobs like prostitution. Examples...
And what were the conditions of these jobs? Benefits such as specific opportunities and freedoms, and downsides such as specific threats and dangers.
Any sources would be helpful, too.
Thanks!

Midwifes an prostitutes oh an housewife.
Reply:In the early 19th century, the jobs most readily available to women were domestic work and factory work. However, during the first half of the ninenteenth century, teaching became a respectable job for middle-class women. During the second half of the 19th century, women began to make breakthroughs into other kinds of work. In 1850, Elizabeth Blackwell became the first woman to qualify as a physician in the USA (though there had apparently been women doctors in America in the 17th century). The number of women doctors grew during the late 19th and early 20th century, in 1910 there were more women practicing medicine than there would be again until the 1980s. Nursing became a respectable job for women in the mid-nineteenth century.
During the Civil War, many women in both the north and the south filled clerical jobs that men had left in order to go to war. After the war, women continued to be employed in offices. The introduction of the typewriter in the 1880s led to more office jobs for women, since women's hands were considered to be better suited to typing than men's, being smaller and more nimble. By 1880, 40 percent of the stenographrs and typists were women, and by 1900, it was three-quarters. The federal beauracracy found more jobs for women as it grew, by 1900 women occupied a third of all government jobs. The infant telephone industry decided that women were natural switchboard operators as soon as it discovered that men tended to talk back to the customers. Women also made inroads into library work.
Thanks in large part to the new department stores, 142,000 female sales clerks were hired before the end of the century. Department store saleswomen worked long hours and were sometimes required to go on unpaid leave during slow seasons. The work was hard but not necessarily grim. an in-house newspaper written by the workers at the Seigel-Cooper department store was crammed with stories about who was dating whom and comments on other workers' hairstyles and clothing, dancing ability, and general popularity. The men in the mail-order department accused the members of the Bachelor girls social club of being "man haters" a charge the Bachelor Girls denied. "No, we are not married, neither are we man haters, but we believe in woman's rights, and we enjoy our independence and freedom notwithstanding the fact that if a fair offer came our way we might.....consider it."
Some women worked as journalists, like the famous Nellie Bly, who in the 1890 took up the challenge to travel around the world in 80 days, like Jules Verne's fictional hero Phileas Fogg. She made it in 78 days.

What jobs can an at home person give to a belgian malinous to keep it happy?
I'm considering adopting a Belgian Malinous. My research indicates that need a job to do - standardly they are used in police work, drug detection, etc. Research also says that if they don't have a job to do they may release that energy in non-home-friendly ways. I work from home - I'll walk him - what other jobs can I give him?

They are wonderful at Obedience, Rally and Agility. Take a couple of training classes at a local dog training club...LOTS of fun
Reply:These guys are great to do agility with, or teach him a lot of tricks and run through them daily. They're very smart and typically learn quickly. Get him lots of toys, things that hold treats and have to be manipulated in just the right way to get the treat out. The Kong company makes lots of different toys like that. Teach him to fetch you a Coke from the fridge, be creative : ) The important thing is to keep his brain occupied.
Reply:That's a very good question. The jobs my dogs have are:
Watching the kittens (5 of them causing mayhem) and alerting me to dangerous activities by said kittens.
Letting me know if the kids I sit are getting into trouble esp. outside.
Carrying groceries in for me
Helping me with laundry (my male has enjoyed this since he was a wee pup)
Helping me with the trash (my female enjoys this)
General yard work
and we are working on:
Helping me dig the flower bed/garden
Getting stuff from the fridge
Reply:Ahh the joys of owning a work dog. :)
My aussie is currently learning how to help me pick up the house. She picks stuff up off the floor and puts it in the clothes hamper. :) it's wonderful!
We also have a huge selection of toys (including Kongs...invest in one of these, they're wonderful!).
Another thing to look into could be therapy. Some dogs are great for this, some aren't. It takes a lot of hard work and training to get to that point, but it seems to be worth it.
I've also seen people look into using work dogs as volunteer rescue dogs, not sure about the details on that but it's an idea.
Reply:Play hide and seek with him. Have someone hide and then let him go find them. Also take him on lots of walks. I'm not sure when you can start it but that make those cool dog backpacks where they can carry things when they are on their walks. Makes them feel like the are doing something important. Hide little bits of cheese around the house and let them sniff them out. Just some ideas.
Reply:When I brought my boxer home, I realized that an hour or two of walking a day was not going to cut it (they are also high-energy, working dogs).
I started by walking him while riding my bicycle. Once we established some commands (mainly "stop"!) we were able to go rather fast, so he could run off some energy.
Later, when his bones were larger and more mature, I rigged up a harness so with leads so he could pull a sled behind him. It took a while to get him used to pulling something, but really it just took some patience. Now we have so much fun! He loves pulling things, and it really helps him work off some of that energy (he also has bulging muscles!). I never give him a great deal of weight to pull, but in the winter my daughter and the neighborhood kids can (and do) ride in the sleigh behind him while he pulls them. It is such a sight, and it really makes my boy feel important, too.
You should also consider getting him toys that will keep him occupied while you are not home to keep him from turning to destructive behaviors out of bordom. Kong toys are great, you can stuff them with the kong paste (or better yet, peanut butter) and the dog will spend hours trying to get lick it all out. There are a lot of other toys where you can put kibble in and the dogs turn them so the treats fall out randomly, and bottles where the dogs have to pull ropes out to get treats, etc. Dr. Foster and Smith has a good collection.
Good luck! I think that you are doing an excellent job researching the breed before adopting, so things should work out well for you when you do.

What are jobs that people that majored in marine biology can have?
I am planning on majoring in marine biology during college and I am trying to find out what jobs are available for marine bioligist, like where do they get their job? and where would they work? I don't think you can get paid for studying animals so I need to know of some good jobs that are steady that marine bioligist can do. and where they would get these jobs.

Reply:There is good scope in marine fisheries and as research fellow in popular marine institutes. But when compared to engineering, management and medical professions, you get only a few chances for job haunting. So you have to go for higher studies including doctorate.

IT jobs...?
Hi. I am currently in year 10 at school. I would like to know some interesting (doesn't have to be to interesting), well paying IT jobs to aim for. (I was thinking something like programming)
Thanks for your reply.
IT jobs...?
I wouldn't bother with programming. Try going into something like Cisco Systems. This involves insane networking and with a CCNA(Cicso Certified Network Associate) and CCSE (Cisco Certified Systems Engineer) you would be looking at 100,000 starting salary. If you are a natural with Cisco you could be earning up towards 250,000 per annum. Though that requires a lot of experience and not much of a life. :)
