Career Suggestion for Me = )
I had a look at this site to explore some possibilities for a career.
I answered 39 questions about what I like or dislike about my interests and abilities. This programme calculated my results and gave me a suggestion of suitable careers.
The suggestions were interesting because I don’t know what I w ant to do for my career. I looked at 6 careers and I looked at the general Arts programme at The University of Quebec in Montreal.
1. Environmental Consultants are scientists or engineers. When someone wants to buy, sell, develop, or restore land that may have been polluted, consultants are contracted to assess the area. It’s also their job to plan and oversee the cleanup, or “remediation,” of the site.
2. Art Directors are responsible for the overall “look" of films, television shows, stage productions, magazines, newspapers, advertisements, and multimedia products. They have a strong sense of design, vision, and style.
3. Historians examine records of the world's political, economic, religious, and cultural past, trying to find out how and why things happened the way they did, as well as what impact they had. They try to reconstruct the course of events based on various kinds of factual records, but the facts are always incomplete, and the whys of history are a matter of interpretation. There is a lot of guesswork involved, and historians are well-known for arguing with each other.
4. Ecologists study how living things interact with each other and with their environments. For instance, they may look at how a forest recovers after a fire, or how a rise in the population of rodents can influence the population of the owls and foxes that eat them.
5. Physical, or biological Anthropologists, focus on human physical characteristics, trying to understand how they are shaped by heredity and environment. Some concentrate on the fossil remains of ancient humans and closely related primates such as apes. Others specialize in primatology, studying the behaviour of living primate populations, usually in the wild. Cultural and social anthropologists compare historical and contemporary human cultures from all around the world, looking at religion, mythology, art, customs, and political, legal, and economic systems. In studying and documenting the amazing diversity of human life they also try to understand what we all have in common.
6. Landscape Architects design and create outdoor environments, from the gardens of single residences to whole streetscapes of entire new communities. They also do environmental assessments of development projects and monitor projects once they are built. To do their job well, they need a wide variety of scientific and artistic skills.
When I go home I will have a better idea of how to plan my future !!!!
