AUBURN UNIV. RURAL STUDIO'S HOUSE PROJECT:STUDENTS BUILD $20,000 HOUSE

Auburn University Rural Studio's House Project challenged architecture students to build a house prototype for $20,000. The goal is that builders will eventually replicate these prototypes for hopeful homeowners who live below the poverty line & thus qualify for a fed rural development loan.

Variety. Fun. Spice. Alternatives. Choice. This blog focuses on cool moneymaking options for you to consider as you enter the work force, or as you face the grim prospect of starting over because your job –-for a wide variety of reasons--no longer exists.

There has never been a better time to take your interest/hobby/passion & turn it into a moneymaking, high-profit enterprise.

Some of the reasons to get into your own Cool Venture:
1. we are all aware that average total cost for college, fees, tuition,room and board are hovering at $30k a year. For many, college is not an option, and hey, who says that investing $120,000 in ‘education’ is any guarantee of a good job, or happiness?

2. we’ve all witnessed our parents/grandparents toiling away for a corporation, only to be dumped right before they were due to receive their pensions. There is no job security.

3. many of the jobs that were once plentiful—especially in the manufacturing & service sector—have been outsourced to other countries. They no longer exist.

4. the government, once a secure haven for workers, has also let its workforce down by shrinking budgets and dissolving departments.

5. nothing is secure. Nothing is certain. We don’t know what the Future has in store for any of us.

We’re not sure…but just in case, we only go around this planet once, let’s make it the best it can be. Why “work” for a living, when everyday doing something you love and feel passionate about, can be “play.”

Picasso said, the true definition of “Success” was when there is no line of demarcation between “work” and “play”.

It was Marsha Sinetar who coined the phrase, “do what you love, and the money will follow.” Whether you are interested in becoming a surfboard shaper, a lighting designer, a hair cutter, a personal chef, a NASCAR driver, web biz owner, inventor, or finding support to pursue your small business dream, this blog is for you.

It will outline & detail cool ventures currently available and demonstrate how to take a crisis or problem & transform it into a moneymaking opportunity.

A Cool Venture is a small business, fresh career, skilled trade or artistic pursuit. Some of the options to be covered might require additional training via trade, professional & vocational schools, internships or apprenticeships, while others are based on your life experience, and your current skills & talents. Please send an email to coolventures@live.com with your comments & questions. Let the games begin!
