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 :)
