Navy

Duties and Responsibilities: for me as a female, in the navy there is no discrimination and everything and everyone is equal. Sailors work on passenger ships, freighters, and tanker ships. A sailor navigates sea-going vessels and assists with the maintenance, operation, and service of these vessels. The term sailor was derived from the fact that all water-borne vessels were once powered by sails. Now the term encompasses all types of vessels, no matter how they are powered. Today, sailors may work for the military or private companies in all aspects of marine employment. A sailor is responsible for the water-borne vessel as a whole. Whether they are navigating, on the deck crew, or in maintenance, their responsibilities can vary. During the docking procedure or before departure, they are responsible for examining and securing the mooring lines. They are also responsible for the general cleaning of the decks and the routine maintenance. They must be well-versed in fire safety and firefighting methods. They are often called upon to perform duties that utilize welding and carpentry skills. During the sailing expedition, they are responsible for navigating and watching while at sea. They must follow all orders given to them by their captain on duty. As they gain more experience, their responsibilities will increase. Most eventually learn all of the aspects of sailing and vessel maintenance and operation

Salary: full time pay for a sailor depends on the amount of years you have been in the navy. Basically this ranges from $1,546.80-$2,580.60.This also depends on your ranking.

Education: to join the navy you really don’t need any education. Only the basics of it like you three schools elementary, middle, and high school. You would have to accomplish all of these.

Reflection: this is I believe the only job I would like to really do besides becoming a culinary artist. I would really like to be a part of the navy and serve and protect my country. 

Professional soccer player

Duties and Responsibilities: A professional soccer does the following: Play for a team, represent that team, and have fame which isn't

really important but they have fame. Also soccer players think quickly, swiftly, are fast, build up to higher teams, train physically, and work on team skills. Your day-to-day activities would vary depending on the level of your team, but at all levels you would: play in matches against other teams in your league, attend regular training sessions to improve your skills and general fitness, work on tactics, sometimes watching videos of matches to analyze your strengths and weaknesses, work with specialists such as physiotherapists, sports psychologists, coaches and your team manager, and take advice on diet and lifestyle from nutritionists and doctors. As a top player you may also give media interviews and be paid to promote products by appearing in adverts. At all levels, you might take part in work in the community, such as helping to coach local children and attending charity events.

Salary: Professional soccer players can earn from $25,000-$100,000. It really depends on their ranking, what team they are in, how they play, if they stay in the same condition, and if they stay in the peak level of their performance. 

Education: At an Academy or CoE, you would combine football training with general education. This could eventually lead to taking qualifications up to A level standard or equivalent. If you are age 16 to 18, you may be able to train on the Advanced Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence (AASE) scheme. You would work towards the Level 3 (NVQ) Diploma in Achieving Excellence in Sports Performance. Throughout your career as a footballer you would need to follow a strict training regime to keep up your skills and general fitness. The average professional playing career is relatively short and for most players is over by their early thirties. It could also be interrupted or cut short by injury. As a Football League, Premiership or Women's Super League player and a member of the Professional Footballers Association (PFA), you can get advice and guidance on educational and vocational courses which will help you prepare for a second career. Coaching, sports science and fitness industry training are popular choices.

Reflection: I would really like to become a professional football player. I think this would be the ideal career for me because I like to stay active, play soccer, and have fun doing so.

Global career opportunities

Outside countries may offer different careers or similar careers to those in America. I would like to work in Japan, New England, or maybe just stay in the United States.

Japan

Now that the Japan Society has been bringing the people of Japan and the United States closer together through understanding, appreciation and cooperation we can work together in peace. There will be more job opportunities and for us and them. A job opportunity that Japan is seeking is a dynamic Gallery Director. A dynamic Gallery Director does the following; they develop and implement engaging and innovative exhibitions of both traditional and contemporary Japanese art and culture. This job requires demonstrated record of outstanding curatorial experience, artistic vision, and leadership skills to be able to engage and inspire American and global audiences and the arts community. Another career opportunity would be an engineer. Many Japanese companies (including those in the electronics, automotive and heavy manufacturing industries) are open to hiring foreign engineers. There are a great number of engineering jobs in Japan — it's not a function most Japanese companies are willing to offshore. They do not only offer this to people from other countries they also have this for the people there.

New England

Some careers in New England that are available are Historic keeper, Physician, Aquarist, and working in health. If you follow the career of a Historic keeper then you will do many things. A Historic keeper does the following; collects and preserves buildings, landscapes, and objects dating from the seventeenth century to the present and uses them to keep history alive and to help people develop a deeper understanding and enjoyment of New England life and appreciation for its preservation. Another job you can follow in New England is a physician. This career is in the medical field. When you follow this career path you usually do the following; they study medicine, find treatments, and cure those in need. In New England you can also take the job of becoming an Aquarist which is someone who works in an aquarium. When you follow this career opportunity then you will do the following; take care of aquatic animals, feed the animals, get training, and also work full time.

Reflection: There are many different career opportunities out there in different countries. Some of them I like some of them I don’t. There are two places I would really like to work at which is Japan and New England. I would like to work in a different country because it’s a great opportunity to meet new places and change my usual every day routine. I think this can be a good chance to learn more of the practices and culture of different countries. Although I might permanently stay there or maybe I won’t. The best part will be to have experienced a career in that country. Hopefully one day I will get to experience working in a different country.

Undergraduate music programs teach students about music history and styles and teach methods for improving their instrumental techniques and musical expression. Some guitarists choose to continue their education by pursuing a master’s degree in fine arts or music.

     

Reflection: I would really like to be a guitarist in a band because it seems fun and exciting. Also I would like to be in a band as a guitarist because you win lots of money and you get to travel everywhere.
