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 :)

Spa Manger and License Clerk (:

This week in my Career Exploration class, we researched in the Buisness,Management and Administration cluster. In this cluster I researched a license clerk. I license clerk issues permits ans they obtain information and collect fees. If you want to be a license clerk, you need to be an active listener, crical thinker, a great writer and be a great speaker. While I was researching a license clerk, I had found out the 54% had a high school diploma, 42% had some college but didn't have a degree and 4% of the people had an associates's degree. The other career I researched was a spa manager. A spa mananger directs spa activies and scheduales the staff. If you want to be a spa mananger, you have to be coordinated, be a great speaker, and be an active listener. When I waas reaserching this career, 47% of the people had some college no degree and 25% of the people had an associates's degree. :)

Learning Styles Inventory [:

After doing a learning styles inventory, I have figured out that I am a tactile learner. A tactile leaner is a person that learns better when it is being demostrated. Some of my teachers demostrate when they are teaching, and some of them don't. I have high grades in the classes that have teachers that do demostrate. Now that I know which type of learner I am, i can make flashcards for the classes I am struggling in. If i'm still not understanding, I can ask the teacher to help me. Taking this learning styles inventory, may help me. (:

Careers :)

The lats two careers I have researched for my Career Exploration class are: Paperhanger and a Cost Estimator. A paperhanger is the person that would hang up wallpaper and fabrics on your walls. Sometimes they even attatch posters to billboards. I don't not want to be a Paperhanger when I graduate from high school and college. A paperhanger seems to be way too boring to me. I don't want to spend my time hanging up wallpaper in stangers homes and buisnesses. The other career I researched was a Cost Estimator. A Cost Estimator estimates construction projects, and they help esimates bids for different products. Sometimes they specialize in a type of product. I do not want to be a Cost Esimator because I don't want to work with numbers and use math skills every day. But maybe somebody else would like to do these careers. :)

Career Connections :)

In the Human Services cluster this week, i chose a baber and a nanny as my carrers. Of course both of these careers had differences, but they also had similarities. One of those being that they have to work with the public basically all day. Even though they work all day, they don't get paid well. Both of these careers have to have paitence too. If you can't take the time to cut somebody's hair correctly or if you cant take the time to do somebody elses laundry, these jobs won't work well for you. (:
