Architecture and Construction

This week we were asked to do research on two jobs in the Architecture and Construction cluster. The two jobs I picked were a Painter and Interior Designer. I did not really have a connection this week. I actually got really bored while doing this cluster. I do not like to paint for long because I get tired. There wasn't anything that related to me. For the most part you aren't very social, you're working constantly and the money wasn't very good. The painter pretty much explains itself. The Interior Designer worked on buildings and sold merchandise and I don't really see myself wanting to go into that cluster. There was a connection between the two I picked though which was being artistic. So, so far I have had a connection with Research and Art.

Connecting Careers

This week we did research in the STEM cluster. My two careers I researched were Sociologist and Zoologists/Wildlife Biologists. I noticed a lot of similarities within these two careers. One being they both do a lot of research. The Sociologist does a lot of research while studying people with mental disorders, they try to find new ways to reach out to those people and get them back on track and or cure them completely. A Z/W Biologist (Zoologist/Wildlife Biologist) is very similar even though they have two completely different topics. The Z/W Biologist does a lot of research on animals. They love to explore and they try to find new specimen that we have not discovered yet. Included in this section (The reason I picked this career) is a Marine Biologist. They explore species in the oceans. They are currently doing research on the giant squid, trying to find it, to see if it's real, a myth, or extinct. Like I said, they have to do a lot of research in order to do these things. The connection I made with my two careers is they both do research. Which I love to do.

Title

Mr. Boyars' posted a very interesting question today that I would very kindly like to answer. The reason they kept STEM while they renamed the others is because STEM has to do with Science, Math, Technology, ect. while the others only have to deal with one subject like Manufacturing, Law and Public Safety, ect.

Welcome to Career Exploration

Career Exploration is a class available to Freshman and Some Sophomores that helps our young minds decide which classes we need to take in order to get to our "stopping point" which is our career we will choose. It helps us recognize the different academies and clusters there are. There are so many careers I had never even heard of that I am now interested in. I will also keep you updated on what I'm learning in class! Stay Tuned!

Connection

 The connection I made with this weeks cluster was rather different than the ones before. This week we worked on Law and Public Safety. The reason I made a connection with this may be the fact that I am very protective myself. I love the law, most times, and will do anything in my power to protect those that I love. My two careers were a Lawyer and a Judicial Law Clerk. Both involved some arguing, which I do a lot, the law, and well, safety. This is how I connected with this weeks cluster.
