Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker

In my career as an architect, I looked up information on the internet about the trainging/education needed, work environment, earnings, the future and much more about this career topic.  Although I had a pretty good idea on what architecture was about, I used that knowledge as well for my presentation.  It started out though with the help of Mr. Stevenson giving us the Occupatoinal Career Website which helps determine who you are and what you like to do, describing what field you would go through in the real world.  This could be used in your own personal life because with the knowledge of knowing what field you would like to pursue, just that website can give you a better idea of what career you would like to follow through in when your older. 

Fast Growing Careers

Careers and Money

                In my opinion, I disagree with the statement, “The most important consideration in choosing a career is whether the career is a fast growing career.” This is because there are many careers throughout the world that don’t have to be a fast growing career to be considered to you or others around the world.  If you are in a career that you love, than stick with it if it makes you happy; even if it isn’t a fast growing career. 

            One of my favorite careers I chose from the Career Interest Game under the topic Social, was a Registered Nurse.   Researching and looking up Fastest-Growing Occupations; Registered Nurse wasn’t on there, although many careers in the medical career were listed on there.  One such as Medical Scientists, 109,400 people around the world in 2008 were interested and working in that field. 

The expected in 2018 will be around 153,600 people working through the Medical Scientists.  The change between ten years was 40% and the salary is quite some money, but then again once you start out in any career, you have to work your way up to the top.  A doctor’s degree is also needed for this career. 

 “The most important consideration in choosing a career is whether the career is a fast growing career.” Once again I disagree because it’s not all about the money.  You can choose any kind of career within any field that you may love doing, no matter what the salary may be.  Although the Registered Nurse wasn’t on the Fastest-Growing Occupations, it is also a career I would consider doing even though the salary is a better offer than most jobs.  Nurses will usually always be in higher demand.  This is how I feel about the Fast Growing Occupation List.
