Careers…So What? April 27, 2010

Lately in class we are doing stuff about careers and 2025.  About what careers that we might be interested in,  and what we are going to do with our lives. Also how old we are going to be in 2025.

We did an online survey to find out what job would be more suited for us. We did it in class and there were 116 questions that you had to answer. After you answer the questions you get 40 jobs that the survey gives based on the answers that you gave. There was all sorts of jobs on the survey. They had from house keeping all of the way up to biologist, and professional athlete.

I found out that there was a job for stocking and collecting the money from vending machines!  My top three jobs  that i got was 1) Professional Athlete, 2) Veterinarian, 3) Model. I actually had never considered being a pro athlete, or a model for that matter.

I have always wanted to be a Veterinarian, ever since I was little. I plan to go to university. Then continue on to vet college for a couple more years after university. When I’m all done with my courses i want to work as a private practicing veterinarian. To find out more about being a vet  click here.

Math Graphs April 11, 2010

Were doing graphs in math right now and we made the graphs on google documents.  We did three graphs on our google docs. We got our graphing/Project information from our teachers blog, Idea hive. Making the graphs was actually really easy. You copy and paste the information into a spreadsheet and highlight the information. Then you go to Insert and click on Chart. Then you pick what kind of graph you would like to make the information into.  You type in the titles for your graph and click done.

The five thing I know about this graph are;

In 2008 all of the industries had the highest employment rates for the years 2005-2009. Utilities had the lowest employment rate for all of the 4 years.  The employment rate for Manufacturing has dropped from 2005 to 2009. For trades the employment rates didn’t change much over the period of four years. There is a HUGE  difference between all of the industries and Utilities, there is a difference of about 16000 . There are about three trends that I found on the  graph. One of them was that Utilities never really increased or decreased. Second of all, There was only one employment industry that was above 5000 for employment rates. Finally most of the industries employment rates went up over the span of the four years.
