Don\u2019t get me wrong, I do value the foundation that I built by studying psychology at a high level. I appreciate the fact that I grew accustomed to figuring things out when there is no clear answer (this is part of the territory when you do a doctorate). Despite those benefits, it\u2019s clear that things have definitely changed since I was a student. It\u2019s more expensive and there\u2019s lots of talk about \u201cacademic inflation\u201d &#8211; whereby degrees seem less valuable because they are plentiful. Regardless of these real and imagined changes in the economy, paid employment is still necessary for most of us.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Many Career Coaching Options, How Can You Tell Who&#8217;s Good?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given these challenges, it\u2019s no surprise that most of my career coaching clients are <a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/career-advice-professionals-nuanced\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">professionals or aspiring professionals<\/a>. Sometimes clients reach out to me themselves, other times, their parents contact me first. They tell me that one of the things they find encouraging is that they are confident that I have enough experience to be able to help solve major challenges. Further, in an <em>unregulated<\/em> field where anyone can build a website and call themselves a career coach or a life coach, it\u2019s hard to tell the difference between coaches who are great at marketing versus those who can deliver results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In many cases, the best option is to find ways to re-frame a client&#8217;s skills and experience so that they resonate more with potential employers. That combined with strategic ways to gain access to employment opportunities is often all that\u2019s required.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Alternatives to Traditional Employment<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are other situations where the most viable long-term option is self-employment or entrepreneurship. When a capable recent grad is faced with the prospects of precarious contract work or numerous unpaid internships the prospect of building their own business or buying a franchise becomes very compelling. Similarly, for a more mature and experienced person who needs to find a different path forward, building a business or buying a franchise becomes much more attractive. This is even more so when they are already at the top end of the pay scale and future employers are closer to their children\u2019s age than the age of their peers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common myths around franchise ownership often mean that it\u2019s an overlooked option. Self-employment, entrepreneurship and franchise ownership isn\u2019t for everyone but it can be appealing when there\u2019s a good alignment of interests, skills and personal qualities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Your-Dreams-or-Theirs-lifehack.org_.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1062 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Your-Dreams-or-Theirs-lifehack.org_.jpg\" alt=\"Will You Build Your Dreams or Someone Else's?\" width=\"275\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Your-Dreams-or-Theirs-lifehack.org_.jpg 224w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Your-Dreams-or-Theirs-lifehack.org_-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 275px) 100vw, 275px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In future posts, I\u2019ll explore (1) the <a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/pros-cons-franchise-or-building-business-scratch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pros and cons<\/a> associated with starting a business from scratch versus buying a franchise and (2) <a href=\"http:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/career-options-professionals-aspiring-professionals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">franchise ideas that may be especially appealing to professionals \/ aspiring professionals<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact me by <a href=\"mailto:helen@ioadvisory.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">email<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/appointments-career-coaching-counselling-dr-helen-ofosu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">phone<\/a>, or via direct message on<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/drheleno_ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Twitter,<\/span><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/IOAdvisoryServices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/helenofosu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LinkedIn<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">if you\u2019d like to discuss any of these topics in more detail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More than career coaching, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">it\u2019s career psychology<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00ae.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\/O Advisory Services<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Building Resilient Careers and Organizations.\u2122<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Easily share this article using any of the social media icons below!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the past, having a professional degree in engineering, law, or teaching, etc. or a graduate degree practically guaranteed stable and lucrative employment.
