Selling skilled trades to students
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that the trades industry will need to add 100,000 jobs every year through 2012, while also filling an additional 90,000 openings annually for positions vacated by retiring baby boomers and those leaving for other reasons. The jobs are proving a tough sell – not only to young people, but also to their parents and school counselors, who don’t always see the trades as a desirable option.

When I got out of the Army in 1986, I worked as an electrician’s helper for several months. My plan at that time was to start the electricain’s apprenticeship program, but after observing the electricians who were making a career of the job, I changed my mind. It seemed like almost all of the career guys regretted their career choice, and I didn’t want to find myself in the same boat 15 years down the road.

More than 13 million families in 2004 were unable at times to buy the food they needed, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Finances are so strained for 5 million of those families that one or more members goes hungry as a result.

First Heating Oil Delivery of Season
I just received my first heating oil delivery of the season, and I paid $2.549 per gallon. Ouch! 😥 Last winter, 2004-2005, I paid $1.849 all winter, and I thought that was painful. I have records back to October 2003, and I paid $1.199 per gallon then. Prices have increased 37.9% since last winter and 112.6% since October 2003.
I noticed that my heating oil consumption has decreased as the price has increased. I have this data back to the winter of 2002-2003. Hopefully, the winter of 2005-2006 will be another warm one, and my consumption will be low this year, too.
| Winter | Gallons of Oil |
|---|---|
| 2002-2003 | 570 |
| 2003-2004 | 500 |
| 2004-2005 | 350 |
Use of debit card at gas pump can tie up checking account
Beware if you pay at the pump. The amount that gas stations pre-authorize on your card (checking account) when attempting to pay at the pump has increased. Some stations are now pre-authorizing $75, and the pre-authorization hold can stay in place as long as 3 business days.
