Government

This week we researched two careers in Government. My two careers were a Statistician and an Economist. The Economist just pretty much conduct research, prepare reports, or formulate plans to address economic problems related to the production and distribution of goods and services or monetary and fiscal policy. May collect and process economic and statistical data using sampling techniques and econometric methods. It makes $44.16 hourly and $91,860 annually. That is the median wage in U.S. anyways. Have you ever watched American Dad? The episode where Roger and Francine pretend to be a married couple and have friends over, Roger is into economics, even though he doesn't want to. It was in Season 2 "Camp Refoogee". The Statistician pretty much develop or apply mathematical or statistical theory and methods to collect, organize, interpret, and summarize numerical data to provide usable information. May specialize in fields such as bio-statistics, agricultural statistics, business statistics, or economic statistics. Includes mathematical and survey statisticians. They make $36.33 hourly and $52,700 annually. These are also the U.S median wages. Sadly, there is no episode of an animated TV show that I can say for this. My favorite was most defiantly the Economist. Even though I do not see myself going into this cluster.

What we did this week.

This week we did research on two different career clusters. The first being Education and Training, the second being Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources. For the first one I picked A coach, and an author. The Coach made $23,360 annually which is below the state  poverty line for a household for 4. The Author made $55,940 which is a little better. For the second I picked a veterinarian and commercial diver. Which both were above the state poverty line. With the vet at $84,460 and the commercial diver at $46,880.
