The idea of utilizing mobile applications is definitely something to think heavily on when in the business industry today. I remember when a close friend in my undergrad college got one of the first Android’s and he would use the applications on his phone for everything. Being the music nerds were are, he had applications for tuning, for pitches, a piano keyboard, a metronome, and there’s no telling what more he had or even what he has now.
But that was at least 3 years ago, and smart phones and mobile applications have advanced much further since then. Basically, if there is a need for an application, someone has or will design it – it is a great market opportunity. I, myself, do not own a smart phone and I have no idea how many applications there are, nor do I know the extent of the complicity of the applications, but I do know a lot about technology. I do know that, in general, people will pay a little for something extra to make their lives a little easier or entertaining.
At the Android application website, https://market.android.com/?hl=en, there are millions of applications from games to music and even applications for making using internet interfaces and platforms (such as google.com, youtube.com, and social networking sites) easier on the smart phones. It is even possible to rent movies and buy books for viewing.
Regardless, graduating with college degrees in this moment of time is really a terrific opportunity. Because these types of technology are so new, it will be easy to industrialize this market. However, it has to be done intelligently. As I have grown up using technology as it has developed, I have seen the successes and failures of this industry. I also have the potential for making a huge success of anything that I can create for a business. But, again, it has to be done within a perception of reality and keeping the near and distant futures both in mind.

Financial Assistance
In regards to www.ncif.org which is the website for a company that invests in stable companies that appeal to smaller communities. The NCIF acronym stands for National Community Investment Fund, their motto is Leveraging Capital for Change, which is exactly what a company like mine would be looking for. Even though we would expect to expand in the future, we are based in the upstate, South Carolina area, more specifically, Greenville. This community is very arts friendly, and the potentials for clients and customers are very likely. The night life is very healthy, but tasteful, and there are many schools that
On the website www.opportunityfinance.net/ they have this to offer, “Opportunity Finance Network (OFN) is the leading network of community development financial institutions (CDFIs) who deliver responsible lending in urban, rural, and Native markets to help low-wealth and low-income people and communities join the economic mainstream.” This is a terrific opportunity, especially considering that some types of assistance are so strict that the ones who really need it can’t get it, and the ones that never try anything else are those that qualify.
After working for 5 months, I tried to apply for unemployment benefits the day after my unemployment, and was told that I would have to wait 3 months until I would be eligible for claiming any benefits. After three months, I returned to apply again and was told I did not make enough to be able to receive any benefits. In the meantime, I did find work, however, it was difficult in between times and when I had to leave my new job for my pregnancy. It will continue to be hard until I can return to work, but thankfully I have help from my in-laws, friends, and my family, so I don’t have to worry. Unfortunately, there are businesses, families, and individuals who do not have support, and fortunately, there are companies such as the two mentioned above that will help those in need.
