Of all the Midwestern states, Illinois has the largest population and is also the most demographically diverse, as well as being the fifth most populous in the nation. The State of Illinois is the 21st state to be admitted to the Union. To the rest of the nation, Illinois is a very important transportation hub. The Port of Chicago creates a connection between the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River via the Illinois River. The economic foundation of Illinois is rooted in areas such as Chicagoland in the northeast, various small industrial cities and abundant agricultural productivity in central and western Illinois, and the south outputting natural resources like timber, coal, and petroleum.

Career Ideas
Searching for ideas for an ideal career? Here are some careers to consider:
Accounting clerks work in larger organizations. Unlike a bookkeeper, an accounting clerk has a more specialized job. Some accounting clerks only handle accounts receivable (hence the name accounts receivable clerk). Others focus on accounts payable. More experienced accounting clerks take on bigger responsibilities. They systematically review reports and printouts for accuracy.
Mechanical engineers work in manufacturing, the automotive industry, heating, air-conditioning, refrigeration, aeronautics and a variety of other industries. Reliance upon computers is vital. Mechanical engineers should be well trained in the use of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM). These programs make computations faster and more accurate.
Most medical and health services managers hold a master’s degree in health services administration or some other related field. Some smaller organizations may accept a bachelor’s degree or related work experience.
Technical, vocational, and community colleges offer programs in medical assistance. Most employers prefer a new hire to have a degree or certificate from one of these programs.
Employers rarely hire employees to be trained on the job anymore. A variety of paralegal programs are available and make the candidate much more marketable to employers. Community colleges offer a two-year program resulting in an associate degree. Others choose to earn a bachelor’s degree as a paralegal. For those individuals with a bachelor’s degree in a different field, a certification program is available.
