Recession starting a education trend HIGH!!!

So I didnt want my blog to only include celebrity life gossip or info in my store (INVAZION BOUTIQUE) but a touch on all subjects going on in today's world...

I couldn't help but notice around my inner circle how many of us decided to change career specialty fields for security purposes or just finally make the step to go back to school. So I decided to do a lil' research.. Lets be real, life is rough these days and if you are in a field of work that involves consumers your business suffered in some way, shape, or form.. I mean I have friends who are teachers who are back in school for nursing because a single girl can not survive on a teachers salery these days in Miami. People have been needing to think outside the box..

USA Today stated:
Millions of laid-off workers are being forced to make tough decisions about their futures. Since the recession began in December 2007, the economy has lost more than 5 million jobs.

In March, U.S. employers cut 633,000 jobs.

Pursuing a new career — even one that pays less — can be an easy call for people whose old jobs have disappeared, forcing them to re-evaluate their version of the American dream

Federal and state tuition aid for displaced workers entering college and vocational programs can make returning to school an appealing option: Students often can continue to collect unemployment benefits. They can get financial aid that covers most of their school costs and receive unemployment benefits as long as she's enrolled.

The $787 billion economic stimulus bill signed in February by President Obama includes $1.7 billion for adult employment services, including training, according to the Department of Labor.
Even so, the transition from old dreams to new realities can be painful. Many will realize they need to look at another path.

To attract laid-off workers, community colleges and technical schools are tailoring programs to appeal to adults who need new skills, working with local companies to match their needs and sending staff into factories and other workplaces to spread the word about state and federal retraining assistance.

There's growing demand for certificates and degrees that can be earned in a year or less and for training in emerging fields such as wind- and solar-energy technology and "green" construction.
When the recession eases, those industries might be among the first to start hiring. Many laid-off workers also are signing up for classes in old-school trades that still are in demand: heating and air-conditioning installation and repair, welding and truck driving.

Community college enrollment was up from 2% to 27%!

& locally Miami Dade College is cutting back on 30,000 classes due to lack of funds.. 5,000 students are predicted to not graduate due to lack of classes available!

SO if your thinking about going back to school register early!!

Hope this blog was found useful...

Ps. I myself who graduated with a degree in International Business and owns a phenominal store even considers getting a degree in something more specific to fall back such as nursing. Cant front on security!

OK OK So I guess we all hit a nerve..

Sorry for my lack of bloggin' yesterday but a sista has a store to run! Well just wanted to touch base on the Bow wow blog the other day.. Im guessin all the buzz about his Twitter comment hit a nerve OR worked as he planned.

He twits:

deez blogs r funny. y err time i say my ex people think ciara? yall kno how many girlfriends ive had. maybe cuz dats da only 1 yall kno bout

yall gotta stop assuming. those r assumptions. and clearly im not talkn bout dem. they r 2 great people. but im not referring to dem.

So he wasnt talking about Ciara & Kim (sure)

I definatly doubt he & Kim had anything but I sure as hell thinks he wanted the world to think he did..

PSHHH...

Lil' man syndrome.... MAYBE

So as you probably can tell already I am heavy on my twitter ish.. Im followin a few folks... lol...

One happens to be Bow wow (yes I am followin Bow wow, lol) another is Kim Kardashian and sisters..

Well Bow wow Kim, Khloe and Kourtney recently hung out in our very own Miami Beach partyin it up etc..

sidenote:
The Kardashians are here filming their show Keeping up with the Kardashians at their new boutique Dash on South Beach.. & Bow wow well who knows what hes here doing.. He continues to stress he wants out of his label and a major someone whom he can NOT disclose is talking big deals to help him get out of his label..

Anyway I couldn't help but catch this drift while Reading his twitts

Quoted from his twitter
"fellas, dnt u feel like a G wen ya ex and anotha girl u banged or fucked round wit r now friends? boosts my ego up! like daaaayum ima pimp

wat makes it funny i dnt think she knows! ha! im laughn lol......"

Now of course as I said I am also following Kim Kardashian and the rest of them and coincidentally she traveled to London to hang with the non other Ciara basically Bow wow's only girl of significance.. Of course this all may very well be just speculation but I feel its a bit more of insecurity on Bow wow's part.. You know damn well he wouldn't know what to do with Kim..

Lets not front.. We all peeped her and Ray J and we know she can put it in. LOL..

non the less here is some pics of the newly blossomed friendship?

How many Baby Mommas is Lil Wayne gon' have???

Fabolous Album PUSHED back!

Leave it to Twitterberry to spread the word first!

Fab just twitted his album he's been working diligently on will be pushed back from June 30 to now sometime in mid July. His twitter @myfabolouslife states:

"News Flash! We are pushing back Loso's Way from June 30th to mid July, jus got the word! Its good cuz now the movie can come wit the cd!"

Max B FOUND GUILTY with 9 out of 11 counts

“Max B would like to first thank all his family, friends and fans that have supported him throughout this trial. Please don’t give up on him at this point. Although the jury has spoken and Max has been convictedof felony murder, kidnapping, robbery and conspiracy a swift and successful appeal shall follow. It is inconceivable that a jury would convict Max under the facts presented by the State. Even Gina Conwaythe State’s own witness testified that Max knew nothing of a robbery. Ms. Conway, a jilted lover and proven liar, said so at the trial itself. Max said after the verdict was read that he is confident thatjustice will eventually be served and he will be free. Max intends to continue putting out music for his fans while the appeal process grinds along. Although shocked by the verdict, Max remained grateful.”
Gerald M. Saluti, Esq.Saluti & Strazza, LLC

Rapper Max B has swiftly responded to a murder conviction with an appeal of all charges, his lawyer said. Prosecutors accused Max B., born Charly Wingate, of coordinating the robbery of two men at a Holiday Inn located in Northern New Jersey. He faces 25 years in jail.

SUMMER JAM!! Death of Autotune

SO if you know about New York's annual HOT 97 Summer Jam like I do... You know that tonight's Summer Jam went down in history!!!!! Hip Hop is as beautiful as I remember it now. For a while I couldn't remember when Hip Hop moved me... Sure, we still have a few folks out there rappin' about non sense (I wont throw no names), BUT! Leave it to Hov to come correct with a nice come back and do it so lovely and strategically. with lyrics "I know were facing a recession but the music ya'll be makin is gonna make it the great depression" He spoke the truth..

As I wrote on my previous blog the night Death of Autotune world premiered by Funk Flex and DJ Khaled! Death of Autotune has hit the Internet by storm.. & after only 2 days on the streets the performance of it was monumental. People had goosebumps as they were jumpin to the music. I myself (in Miami) missed the occasion but spoke to several attendee's who were in aww! Hov came out with T Pain on stage & why wouldn't he??? Yes T Pain is the reinventor of the whole autotune movement but that's just it! He was the reason for the season.. Hova should respect his hustle whether he flows with it or not! I wont hate on T-Pain and neither should you! lol

Jay-Z wasn't the only crazy performance tonight; Drake through it down as well with his unsigned "Best I Ever Had" show... Homie doesn't even have a deal yet and he's at Summer Jam rockin with the best. (I will keep you in the loop as he signs his million dollar deal)

other guest at the summer jam was Mary J, T-Pain, DJ Khaled, Soulja Boy, Fabolos, The Dream, Young Jeezy, The Lox (Jada), Busta, Lil' Kim, Jim Jones, Santana and many more...
