Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. 16 Unit 1 Learning About Human Services Establishing a new business requires a lot of work. Entrepreneurs assume the responsibilities and risks for their own businesses. Entrepreneurs also enjoy the fl exibly of being one’s own boss. In the human services fi eld, people can start all kinds of businesses, from a hair salon to child care to counseling. Personal services, such as in-home care, are particularly well-suited to self-run businesses (Figure 1.7). Related Services in Food, Clothing, and Housing Human services workers come in many forms and provide many different kinds of services—sometimes in unexpected ways. For example, related services workers help people meet their needs for food, clothing, and shelter. They assist people in making decisions, purchasing, using, and maintaining products and services in these industries. Food brokers, growers and retailers, product developers, designers, and housing specialists are a few examples of related services workers. They work as farmers and ranchers, food chemists, nutritionists, and grocers. They also work as apparel designers, manufacturers, interior designers, and real estate agents and brokers. They are found in agriculture, small manufacturers, corporations, and throughout communities.
