Hummer!

Would you like hummer? The biggest SUV will be retained to produce in America, as offices said on Nov. 11, 2009. GM was going to sell hummer to a Chinese car manufacturer, but same as finally keeping Opel, GM regrets again. GM announced that Hummer is going to be out of stock. The inventory turnover day in dealer normally could be 60 days, but right now is lower than 30 days, which is the main reason for GM to decide the plant reactive at Shreveport, LA.
At the beginning, the reasons for suspending the plant were the great decrease demand of customers (lost 64% customers). It recorded only 8,400 unit sold at September and Chinese car manufacture was interested in purchasing. Right now, what is the economic signal that GM gives us?

In my opinion, at the first, GM wants to keep the market because of confidence for Hammer. Another one is optimism for future economic. Lastly, GM wants to keep the leader in car industry by keeping this high-technology car.

(http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/bestjobs/2009/full_list/index.html)
The demand of systems engineers is soaring because the popularity of high-tech in the common industries. The pay is higher and a lot of opportunity for promotion. Most of them think their jobs is close to the human life and they like it.

The CPA and College professor careers are most popular for us. To get CPA you should take the test first and have 150 hours business and accounting classes. Also you need the job experience. The drawback is that you must figure out numbers everyday. During the tax preparation times, usually CPA are too busy to remember who they are.

Most of MBA students choose to continue study for Ph.D. They want to be a professor and teach in the college. The college professor is more free out of the teaching time and office time. They could decide their own time. The requirement is you must get Ph.D degree first and teach experience. But usually the starting pay of college professor is low.
The rank range of Business Analyst, sales director, human resounrse manager, marketing manager and so on are around 20- 50. They are still popular in America. Although salary is necessary, it is not the most important. If you do not like your job, you won't have a good prospect for the long-run. You like, you win. Interest is the key for career success.
