Why Moms Should Consider a Career in Science

Do you want to change your career or do you want to return to the workforce? If so, a career in science may be the solution. It’s an area that more women than ever are entering and there are many good reasons why this is happening. Below are some of the main reasons why moms should consider a career in science.

 

                                                                                                

It’s Become Much Easier to Get a Science Qualification

In the past, obtaining a science qualification was often difficult to achieve and it was time consuming. This made it much more of a challenge for moms, especially if they had a family to take care of as well.

However, in recent years the internet has made it much easier to complete a science-related course like an NAACLS accredited medical laboratory scientist program from a recognized college or university such as the University of Cincinnati. You can study at times that suit you and from any location in the world, so it’s possible to complete a medical laboratory scientist program online without ever having to leave your home to attend lectures.

It Will Improve Your Standard of Living

If you are working in a low paying job or you’re not working at all, the opportunities available in the science industry are certain to change your lifestyle and the lifestyle of your family for the better. Most science-related positions are well paid jobs and most of these roles also come with many amazing and life-changing benefits.

Your Work Could Make a Difference to People’s Lives

A large number of science careers can have a huge impact on many people’s lives. The technologies you create, the research you carry out, and the scientific breakthroughs modern scientists make, improve people’s lives, save people’s lives, and make a difference to other people’s lives in many other ways.

It’s Interesting Work

If you want a challenge and you don’t want to be doing the same thing day-in and day-out, a career in science is the career for you. In many cases, no two days are the same in many scientific roles and this ensures that you stay motivated and interested in the work you are doing.

Your Skills Will Always Be In-demand

We humans keep evolving and are always trying to improve the world we live in. This means there will always be a demand for scientists and the services they provide. The type of work you do throughout your career may change, but the experience and skills you build up along the way are invaluable and will always be required by a wide range of organizations in the public and private sectors.

There is the Potential to Progress

In some industries, it’s very difficult to get promoted and advance in the organization you are working in. However, there are many opportunities to progress when you have the appropriate scientific qualifications, skills and experience.

Starting a career in science could be the best move you ever make. It has the potential to dramatically change your life and the lives of those that are dear to you in many different ways.

I am always printing something at home on my home printer. Whether it be pictures of my kids, blog related material or school related material I am always going through ink like crazy. Once I am out I either have to run to the store quickly or order through a site that can take a week. I would like an easier way, and I have found one! Let me introduce the HP Instant Ink Program.

Introducing HP Instant Ink

Get ink delivered to your door
for as low as $2.99 a month.

Never run out. Cancel anytime. Adjust as you go.

 

What is the HP Instant Ink Program? 

HP Instant Ink is a subscription service of printer ink that is charged on a monthly basis according to the amount if pages that you print (not the amount of ink used). This means that everything costs the same (4-6 CENTS per page), from simple documents to full color photos and everything in-between.

This service also removes all stress from running out of ink as all eligible printer send out notifications when your ink runs low, prompting a new cartridge to be sent to you right away with no interaction necessary.

With this program, you and your users will be able to save 75% or more on ink prices with many options and opportunities for free months of service.

 

How It Works

Your printer uses the Internet to let us know when to send more ink. Here’s how you can get all the ink you need, delivered to your door.

Purchase an eligible printer:

Enroll in a plan based on the number of pages you print:
Ink cartridges and delivery costs included in your monthly plan price.
Pre-paid envelope included for you to recycle your used cartridges.
No annual fee—Change or cancel your plan online anytime without penalty.
Special HP Instant Ink cartridges are sent by post or included with your printer:
Our cartridges have more ink than HP XL cartridges, so you’ll replace them less often.
Billing and service start after you insert your first HP Instant Ink cartridge:
Your printer tells HP when to send more ink.
Your service is not based on how many cartridges you use, so print as many high quality photos as you like.
We’ll recycle too!
We will provide pre-paid shipping materials to return used cartridges. HP Planet Partners will recycle them as part of your service.

This program will save you time and money! One less thing to think about, let your printer do the ordering for you!

Getting Readay for Valentine’s Day #FTD

I love to decorate for the holidays. My two favorite are Halloween and Valentine’s Day.

Valentine’s Day is so pretty and I love to use pink and red together. I don’t have a lot of Valentine’s Day decorations so I headed out to the store to pick up a few new items.

This pretty floral arrangement to set on my island.

Here are a few items placed throughout the house.

 

And my favorite space…. in the kitchen under our bulletin board.

 

FTD sent me the above Valentine’s Day arrangement to help me decorate for Valentine’s Day!

 

FTD, the premier floral and gifting company that delivers handcrafted artisan-designed arrangements. To many, a bouquet of flowers is a staple of Valentine’s Day. However, a bouquet isn’t just about the gift of something beautiful, it’s about the gift of something unique and detailed, crafted with great attention and care.

FTD knows that many little details go into the creation of a hand-made artisan good. Whether it’s a hand-made card, a repurposed picture frame, or a piece of home-décor, the work that goes into any creation is part of what makes it special.
Here they are close up!
 

 

I was sent a floral arrangement from FTD. My opinions are my own.
