changed from when she was a col-
lege freshman.
“I was told 'Don’t learn to type or
you’ll be thought of as a secretary’. I
am telling you - learn how to type,
learn how to use a computer,”
Stafford said.
She emphasized the growing
demand for computer-language liter-
acy and Internet knowledge.
She said statistics show most mar-
keting majors go into sales and 63
percent of people in sales have col-
lege degrees. Since earnings are
based on commission, the sky is the
limit, she said. The average entry-
level earnings across all industries is
about $30,000. For senior-level posi-
tions, the average hovers around
$50,000.
Stafford said that while women do
well in sales, only 12 percent of sales
managers are women.
But at Mary Kay cosmetics, more
women make over $100,000 a year
than at any other company. Women'
may have an advantage when it
comes to selling pressed powder, but
Stafford said other industries could
be just as lucrative.
Sales in construction, transporta-
tion equipment, stone clay and glass
products are a few areas dominated
by men that have been ignored by
women.
Another area saturated by men is
security management where one
could earn from $30,000 to $70,000
as a security supervisor. Other hot

the group would support and rally behind who-
ever won the nomination in the November
elections.
Coomes said voters will have to decide
which candidate will be able to do the most for
