Economic Trend Opportunites  1. Economy Added 263,000 jobs in April, unemployment falls to 3.6%, new 50-year low  https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/05/03/april-jobs-report-economy-added-253-000-jobs-last-month/3656949002/ With more people having jobs more people are able to spend. These employees are some of the hardest workings in the world and hardly take time off. Basic needs in day to day life may be neglected giving rise to an opportunity in simple task doing. People who work long hours and on weekends would most likely have this problem. Finding people willing to do tasks as either employees or payment on a task by task basis might be difficult to find. Especially for the rare cases where someone feels they are in danger while assisting someone.  2.

      The opportunity I would like to pursue has to do with clothes, specifically pants, not fitting right. A way to mail clothing and measurements somewhere to have them fitted and returned to you for a relatively low cost could be a viable business opportunity. Most people, unless they have someone to tailor their clothes for them, are only able to find one or two pairs of pants that ever truly fit them right in their life. Any pants, or other items of clothing, could fit you properly if tailored to you. Who questions: 1. What typically makes you buy a pair of pants?  2. Do you avoid certain styles of pants? Why? 3. Do you have a favorite pair of pants? What makes them your favorite? What questions: 1. Do you have other kinds of clothes that you feel do not fit properly? (Shirts, Dresses, etc…) If so what? 2. What happens when you find something you like that doesn't fit you quite right? 3. Do you have easy access to a reasonably priced tailor? If yes how often...

1. Massive Amounts of Seaweed, Portuguese Man o’ Wat Wash Up Along Cocoa Beach  http://www.brevardtimes.com/2019/05/massive-amounts-of-seaweed-portuguese-man-o-war-wash-up-along-cocoa-beach/ Easterly winds have blown massive amounts of Portuguese Man o’ War and seaweed ashore in Cocoa Beach.  This is a problem that happens every year and causes many hospital visits and changes in wave break. Effecting the sea life in that area. The government does not address this issue due to the ecological importance of the Man o’ War but there would be safer ways to keep the seaweed and Man o’ War to a minimum on the beach.  The residents and the tourists experience this problem even though not many tourists visit that area around this time.  2.

      In our day to day lives, we carry around a lot of things with us. Whether you're a student, working, or just roaming the streets chances are you're carrying items of varying importance on you. When using a bag of some sort to transport these items from point A to point B, you are not only expecting it to get there. But expect a certain level of safety for those items after being placed in the bag. Most of us have experienced their contents being damaged in some way due to the trials of life.       I first talked to a fellow student who I noticed always has a backpack with him. This bag typically carries all sorts of school supplies including, but not limited to, notebooks, textbooks, and a laptop. In another compartment of this backpack, his wallet keys and lunch for the day are housed. More than once the food container placed in this compartment has been damaged and spilled its contents. Effectively soiling all the other items in that pocket and eve...

      My stepmother moved from Corpus Christi Texas to a small town in Florida to join my family. In moving she quit her previous job in water treatment for Del Monte and pursued her passion for personal fitness. Three years later she opened her own gym and has had steady clients ever since. I have always admired her for taking such a big risk and being able to run her business how she feels it would best suit her and her clients. I enrolled in this class to fill a requirement for my minor but I hope to gain a new perspective on the world and see opportunities rather than problems. Her business logo is below.

Today we are more advanced than ever but many things can still be improved. A paradox where solving problems creates new ones results in an endless cycle to meet public needs. Below is my list of 'bugs' in everyday life that could be opportunities for advancement. Spiders making webs in my doorway create a very unpleasant surprise when rushing to leave. I for one am not a fan of spiders but typically bugs in and around homes (even helpful ones) tend to bother people. Also, people don't typically stop to inspect a doorway before walking through it especially if it is a familiar one.  Having dishes pile up to the point where you can not use the sink. Having the only access to running water outside of a bath, is extremely inconvenient when we are so used to having things immediately. Not enough storage in an apartment for someone who lives there year round. Many living spaces, especially when shared with others, lack the room necessary for living items. Forcing p...

In my very first day of a French class, I have come to the conclusion that the language is much more flirtatious when you can not understand what is being said.
