GPA and Finance :)

Over the past week, my career exploration class researched in the Finance cluster. I researched a loan officer and a telemarketer. Both of the careers deal with working well the public. They also require previous knowledge and the majority of the people had a high school diploma. These careers also had some differences. A loan officer works in the finace and administration industry but a telemarketer works in the administration and support service industry. A telemarketer has slower projected growth, but a loan officer has an average projected growth. Finally, a loan officer is going to have to work well with money but a telemarketer is going to have to work well with the public and be persuasive. These two careers taught me that even though two careers are in the same cluster, they may not be identical. (:

Government and Public Administration :)

Yesterday, in my career exploration clase we researched in the government and public administration cluster. I researched a broadcast news analysts and a coroner. Both of these careers are pretty darn similar. For expample, both of these careers have the same projected grwoth average and they deal with informing people. A coroner is going to inform people of somebody's death, just like a broadcast news analyst informs the public of various news articles. Both of these careers also required many years of school. These careers are very alike in different ways, have a goood day! (:

The Class Schedule :)

In my career exploration class, this week was a very busy week. Monday we researched in the education and training cluster. For this cluster, I researched a tutor and a law teacher postsecondary. We always research different clusters to help us find which fields we want to do into after we graudate from high school. On Tuesday, we shared what we had researched in the eduacation and training cluster. That way, if somebody found an interesting career, we could all hear about it. Wednesday we researched in the Ag cluster. A reserached a slaughter/meat packer and a veterinarians. Yesterday, we used our true colors to find out weakness and strengths in various careers with Mr. Heckendorn. I found out my weakness is a surgeon because I don't like blood but my true colors inform me that i like to do hands-on activity. Today we are blogging and telling everybody about our week. Have a good day :)

ARTS :)

In my career exploration class, we searched in the ARTS cluster. I researched a Film and Video Editor and Singer. A film and video editor edits films, videos, and other medias. Sometimes they edit soundtrack images. They make approximately $51,300 per year. Fifty percent of the people in this job had a Bachelor's degree. The other career I researched was a Singer. Singers sing songs on stages, radios, and on TV shows. Most singers had a high school diploma. They make $23.50 per hour. (:

Orangie Orange :)

Yesterday we took a test to show our "true colors." True colors are based on your personailty and how you view things in life. I found out that I am an orange person. Oranges are the type of people to be very active. They are the "hands on" type of people that can never really sit still and be content for long periods of time. Ornages like to try new things and they need lots of space. These characteristics seem to describe me :)

True Colors :)

In my career exploration class today we researched a True Colors assesment. It categorizes what type of person you are based on colors. If you're blue, you are a relaxing and soothing person. If you're gold, you are very well orangized and independent. If you are a green type of person, you a smart person and lastly, if you are an orange person, you take advantage of the little things and live your life. Out of my eight teachers, I chose 4 of them to go along with each category. I think that my math teacher, Mr. Thomas, is a green person because he is very very smart when it comes to math and he is a great teacher. My language arts teacher, Mr. Ogle is a gold person because he is very organized and a great teacher too. My Spanish teacher, Senora Rigdon, is definately an orange person because if you don't pay attention in her class, you will be lost for forever. My last teacher, Mr. Boyars, is a blue person. Mr. Boyars is very relaxed and doesn't show any worry. I also ctegorized my friends. Salem is an orange person because he always makes quick decisions. Sammy is my green friend because he is very smart and knows a lot of random stuff. Andrew is my blue friend because he is relaxed and Sidney is my gold friend because she is very orangized and motivated :)
