Finance and Adminstration

This week we covered the careers that were in the Finance and Adminstration careers. The two careers that I choose were an Insurance Policy Processing Clerk and a Loan Counselor. These two careers are similar in a variety of ways. One way that these two careers are similar because their intrests are Conventional and Enterprising. Another way that these careers are similar is because their wages are in the $30,000 dollar range. Lastly, these two careers are similar because their knowledge skills and abilities are very close. For example, they both have customer and personal, English language, and adminstration and admangement. These two careers are also different in several ways. One way is that their projected growth is different. One has 20-28% and the other one was 3-9%. Another way that these two careers are similar is that the loans councelor had to have a bachelor's degree, while the insurance policy processing clerk is only required to have some college. Lastly, the way these careers are different is their job descriptions and what they do. My reflection on this career, is that it would be fun, however I don't like math, so I probably wouldn't like this.

Government and Public Adminstration

The two careers that I choose for my Government and Public Adminstration careers are Finicial Examiners and an Assessor. These two careers are similiar because both of the careers deal with money. For example, the finicial examiners enforce laws and regulations that have to do with financial and real state transactions. This is similar to an Assessor because they try to give an estimated value on property, as well as assess the taxes for said object. These two careers are also similar because they both use a lot of the same tools and technology such as: desktop computers, finicial analysis software, and data base user interface software. These two careers are different because of the national wages. The Assessors wages are: $49,540, while the Finicial Examiner is $75,800. Another difference is that a Finicial's Examiners projected growth is 20-28% while the Assessor's projected growth is on 10-18%. This is acually a very ironic career because this a Government job and this is the time of year in the U.S. is election time. While not nessassarily everywhere in the U.S., there still are elections still going on across the nations.

This Week in Review

This blog's topic is about what we did this week. In other words, this week in review. Starting off at the beginning, we did two facts sheets in the cluster of Education and Training. The next day our teacher required us to relate the two careers that we choose together. For example, my two careers were a Library Science Teachers, and a Historians. I related them by comparing their knowledge skills and abilities. On Wednesday we discussed the Ag career cluster and did two careers from that cluster. On Thursday, we had a visitor named Mr. Heckendorn who did a discussion with the entire class on we can use our True Colors to do jobs we don't like. We had about six questions that would help us get out of our comfort zones and learn how to do use our True Colors to get through life. In other words, having good life experience.

ARTS Cluster Summary

Last week we did the career. The careers that I chose were an Archivist and Editor. The job description for an Archivist is to appraise, edit, and direct safekeeping of permanent records and historically valuable documents, as well as participate in research activitires, based on archival materials. The skills required for this job are: skills in the English Language, History, Computer, Administration and Management, Clerical, and law and Government. The education require is a Masters degree. As a career, I might choose this, however, I don't know if I would like to spend most of the rest of my life keeping records, and tabs on things. My second career for the career cluster of ARTS was Editor. The job description for an Editor is to plan, coordinate, or edit content of material for publication. They may proposals and drafts for possible publication. The skills that are required for this job are: skills in the English Language, Communications and Media, Computers and Electronics, REading Comprehension, and Writing. The education required for this job is a bachelors degree. I don't believe that I would want to do this career because I am very bad at the English Language.

My True Color.

Yesterday in Career Exploration we had a guest speaker come in and talk about each individuals' true color. We took a quiz type packet that would help us determine what are true colors are. My true color was orange. What this means is that I am apparently optimistic, eager, and physical. This would affect any job choice that I would have because I would apparently have to have a hand on job, and active job. The guest speaker that we had said that are second highest color choice would affect our first choice. My second highest color was green. What that means is that I am calm, collected, and logical. This will affect my career choice because I would have active, scientific like career. Grammar errors permitted.

True Colors for my Friends

Today in Career Exploration, we are discussing the True Colors assestment that we are going to be doing next week.There are four colors that a person can be catergorized into. Those four colors are blue, gold, green, and orange. An blue person is calm, and deep in thought. A gold person is responsible, organized and on time. A green person is one who is logical. A orange person is one who is exciting and interesting and dynamic.The four people that I am going to catergorize are Salem, Josh, Robert, and Jeremy. Salem I would describe as a gold person, because he is very business like about all life processes. Josh I would catergorize as a blue person, because he is very funny, therefore he calms people down. Robert would be catergorize as a green person, because he is logical about life. I would catergorize Jeremy as a orange person, because he is energetic about life and this class.

True Colors for my Teachers.

Today in my Career Exploration we are discussing the True Colors assestment that we are going to be taking next week. Therefore, my teacher of this class ask me to catergorize four teachers out of the eight into the four colors of the True Colors assestment. Those four colors are blue, gold, green, and orange. An blue person is calm, and deep in thought. A gold person is responsible, organized and on time. A green person is one who is logical. A orange person is one who is exciting and interesting and dynamic. The four teachers that I am going to choose for this assestment are: Mrs. Wilson, Mr. Boyers, Mrs. Rigdon, and Mr. Happ. Mrs. Wilson is green person. The reason I think this is because she is a science teacher, more specifically a biology teacher, therefore she would have to use some kind of logic in her daily life. I would descibe Mr. Boyers as a blue person. I would do this because he has a very laid, back, and relaxed teacher who always clam. Mrs. Rigdon is most likely an orange person. I would describe her like this because she is full of energy, and always enthusiastic about her job. Mr. Happ I would describe as a gold person, because he is always on time for class and very business like about his job.
