Finance deals with Finance

here are many similarities in the finance cluster. First off, they all deal with money. Secondly, most of these jobs are indoor jobs while most jobs in ag are outside. Finally, most finance jobs use a lot of advanced math. Like algebra, calculus,and statistics. Three differences are your job environment. You could sit in front of a computer all day or maybe interview people for loan eligibility. Another difference is where you work. You could work for a bank or maybe be an accountant for a company. The third difference is your paycheck. A bank teller on makes $24k a year, while an accountant makes $70k a year. So there is a big pay difference in the Finance cluster. I have learned a lot as far as career pathways this week. I know FOR SURE that I do not want to work in the Finance industry considering I enjoy being outside. I am also not into numbers on a huge scale.

Government and Public Administration

My two careeres were Mapping Technican and Postmasters and Mail Superindendant. They are similar by the fact that in both jobs you are government employed. Also both careers require a bachelor's degree. In both jobs you need a lot of knowledge in government regulation and public safety. That goes for any job when you work for the government. Both careers have the same working values. Independence, support, and working conditions. In both jobs you are in charge of those around you, be supportive of those around you, and work in and outside. I would enjoy mapping technican because you are outside surveying the land, so you have to be a little hands on. The downside of the Postmaster gig is it is -10% in job opening. So good luck finding a job.

This week flaskback

Well this week we went off thw beaten path a little. First on Monday we did two Education and Traing careers. Tuesday we got a little cray cray and shared for the first time in a while. We did this because sharing is important but it just takes forever. Wednesday we finished sharing and did one career in Agriculture. Thursday we did the opposite true color career. We did this to see the opposite career pathway we needed to take to become a true color we are not. Once we see what we need to do for our opposite, it should be easier to pick our real one. And Friday we caught up on everything and finished ag.
