Teaching an old dog new tricks is hard enough, but when that dog is not even close to being middle aged and is looking for a serious career change, what was hard is seemingly insurmountable.

That's where blog Pounding the Pavement comes in with informative, entertaining, up to the minute solutions, suggestions and ideas for the future.

Find articles geared toward people with a passion to learn something new while keeping on top of the latest career trends - think recession-proof strategies, job seeker advice, economic news and more.

And, while features about changing careers, interviewing and generally improving existing jobs go a long way in terms of uplifting and enlightening, Pounding the Pavement also tackles the topics that are changing the already rocky landscape for professionals: technology, boomer retirement, and economic reform.
