Careers

This week as part of Inquiry LS2 have been exploring different careers and jobs. There is a different between and career and a job. A career is something that you want to do in your future as a job such as a NRL player and a job is a regular work that a person does to earn money for a living such as being a mechanical engineering. First Mrs Anderson gave us a site where we were to answer a few job/careers we were interested for example "How interested are to join in a work that involves: sport and recreation". There were 78 different kinds of jobs and the answers we were to pick were: not interested, neutral, fairly interested or, very interested. After we've answered all our questions were were given many choices of jobs/careers we might be interested to do in the future. Soon after that we were to get into partners, but the partners had to have the similar job. I had a lot of mechanical engineering jobs listed and jobs including vehicles. At the end we shared with the class what we wanted to be in the future and also our salary. In the future I want to be a pilot and this job if you fly domestic routes (e.g Auckland to Christchurch) you earn an amount of $50K - $190K per year and if you fly international routes (e.g New Zealand to Australia) your earn $80K-$300K.

Career - Aeroplane Pilot

This week we are focusing on Careers. We are searching about what we wanna be in the future. Last week we had to write the difference between Careers and Jobs. Careers is something you wanna be for the rest of your life and a job is when you do something to earn money to pay your bills. For example my Career is to be a pilot. I want to work in a pizza shop to earn money to pay my uniform for being a pilot. Working in a pizza shop is a job because it's not something I would want to work for during my whole life. This week we are choosing our career and writing about the job. The DLO above shows you some information about being a Aeroplane Pilot.
