270 billion pounds sterling dilemma for jet set

Article Abstract:

The aircraft industry is looking to tourism to boost passenger numbers as both the recession and the Gulf War have lowered business travel thus threatening orders for new aircraft. Passenger figures for 1990 are down by 23%. Also that year, Boeing reduced its monthly output of 737 jets from 21 to 17 and American Airlines cancelled or deferred 93 aircraft. Industry associations report that tourism is more profitable than business travel and that increasing disposable incomes will revive tourism.

25,000+ pounds sterling at 26? Not bad for a salesperson

Article Abstract:

Those considering a career in media sales should be aware that they will be required to be both extremely professional and rather extrovert. Many people regard media sales as an unattractive career, but in fact it is one of the few careers that offers very high salaries to talented young people. Employers are finding it difficult to recruit enough highly motivated media sales staff, and are increasingly prepared to consider people who do not necessarily have some form of higher qualification.

My savings had gone, I was 10,000 pounds sterling in debt, and I had sold my soul

Article Abstract:

Investing in a network marketing scheme can be a very misguided move, according to writer Judith Hampson. The initial investment can be quite high, and there are many related expenses, such as travelling to meetings and purchasing training material. Ethical problems can also arise, as the person concerned starts seeing all friends and acquaintances as potential customers and can behave very out of character.
