Would you need special schooling or advanced degrees? Do you know anyone personally with this type of job? What are the hours like? What is the pay like?

If I could have any occupation it would be a marine biologist. I would chose this job because I really love sea animals and I'm also really interested in the aquatic life and the ecosystem. Some important skills and/or knowledge you must have to be successful in my job choice is to know how to cure a animal if its sick and if the animal were to live in a sanctuary make sure the habitat is safe. Yes you do need special schooling because what if a animal is injured or if the ocean environment is bad, you would have to know how to take care of those things. I do not know anyone personally with this type of job. I think the hours would be around 5-7 hours and top 10 percentile earned $48.36 an hour and $100,580 a year. Typical day in the life of my job would look like first going to a lab and check and see how well animals might be doing then seeing if there's any questionable things we should know about. So if I had to pick any occupation it would be a marine biologist.

If I could have any occupation it would be a Youtuber. I would choose this job because I love filming things. Some important skills that you need to know is to not be camera shy. You don't need any type of degree or anything. You just have to create a channel and post videos. It's really fun! I know a lot of my friends that do this say that they have a great time doing this. You don't have any hours. You can post videos any time. A typical day would look like walking around with your camera out until your done. Then you can edit your video so that you can make it better than it was before. This is the occupation that I would choose to have for the rest of my life.

If I got to choose any occupation it would be a baseball player. I would choose a baseball player because I love playing the sport. What you need to know how to hit,field,and throw maybe pitch. You also need speed to get to the bases. You need to go to collage so the major leauge baseball scouts will notice you. I dont know anybody personally that plays baseball. The hours are 9 or more innings. You get payed from 690k to 25.5 million dollars. My typical day job looks like gloves,bat,hat,and a baseball.

I would like to be a mechanic. I would choose that job because my dad is a mechanic and I like cars. Being a mechanic requires skills such as knowing how to measure objects so that they work properly. You would need schooling to learn how to work on them the right way. My dad, uncles, and grandpa all worked on cars in their life. The hours would be 15 hours each day unless you call in sick. The pay isn't the greatest pay ever, currently it is 36710 a year. A typical day of a mechanic is working on cars and fixing them. The one bad thing about being a mechanic is that it is hard on your body. That is what I would get for a job.

Right now in life the job I would like is to be a programmer for video games. Another job I can think of is being a YouTuber. It really depends on how much I like doing it when I start making videos with my friends in a few months. The game programmers get an average salary of 72,000 $ for people with less than 3 years in the business and 95,300 $ for experienced programmers. People who program video games need to special in either audio or graphic programming you should also be able to be able to program different languages into games. To be continued
Wayne
3/2/2015 11:24:50 pm

If I could have any occupation it would be a UFC fighter. You dont need any degree but you need super advanced skills you've learned before like I said it has to be advanced. I would take this job because I want to raise my advanced skills so I can be my main dream job a grand master. In order to be in the UFC is to know a lot of self-defense so you dont get hurt as badly as you think you would. I know some one personally who had this job his name is ben rothwell. There is not like the hours is just how long the rounds in the fight goes like for instance some one will break up the fight to either if some one is hurt or the round is over. The pay for each fight is like up to 4-5 million dollars. The typical day in my job would look like bruieses and mabey bleeding spots rarely. Thats the job I would like to have!
Claire
3/2/2015 11:21:35 pm

If I could have any job I would play for La Liga BBVA. I would choose this job because soccer is my favorite sport to play. I think it would be challenging to play in that league because I would need to learn Spanish. I would need to learn it because the league is in Spain. Some skills you would need are balance, footwork, and much more. You would need balance because you would keep falling on hard shots or passes, and you would need footwork because you won't know what to do with the ball when you receive it. You would need a degree for this job because if your career doesn't work out you'll have a backup plan. I don't know anyone personally with this kind of job but it would be cool if I did. The hours are somewhere from 6 to 10 hours every day. The pay depends on many things. How well you play, how much money your team has, and many more things. David Beckam used to earn 9 million dollars annually. A typical day would look like a bunch of drills everyday. You would also need to work out every day. I think it would be very hard to accomplish this dream but I think I could do it.

If I could have any job it would be to be a gemologist. Geology is the study of rocks and minerals and Gemoligsts focus on gems. Some examples of gems are Quartz, Turquise, Tigers-Eye, and a lot more. To be succecful at being a gemologist you'd have to be good at recognizing gems when you see them. I already have bags full of gems like Turquise,Tigers eye, and a couple Geodes and even a Sapphire that's already polished. You would need degrees and lots of extra school to become familiar with the different gems and learn where they come from in the earth. Yes I do know someone that is a gemologist. There job is to polish real Sapphire, Rubys, and other rare gems and turn them into Jewelry. There are many jobs a gemologist can have like working with jewelry and working in a lab with gems. What I want to do is go to my job and start learning and studying gems and where they came from. A years job might be more than 61,000 dollars a year or around there depending how much you work or how much you do making jewelry or studying. The typical hours I would work daily would be around seven or eight hours. That is the job I would like to have.

What job I want is I want to be a marine biologist. I want to be a marine biologist because I really love sea creatures, and I would love to see and learn many things about them. Some important skills that you must learn or know is you need to know how to swim. You cannot be afraid of sea animals or water. Another thing you need to know is you need to know how to care for animals so you won't be bad with the animals. You would need special school degrees to know if an animal is hurt, you can help them, instead of standing around not knowing what to do. I don't know anyone who has this job. The hours are 5-7 hours, and $48.36 an hour. You can make lots of money by doing fun and kind things for animals. A typical day in this job would be helping and caring for sweet sea animals

If I could have any job it would be a hair stylist. I would pick this because when I was little my cousins and I always wanted to open are own salon. We said my cousins Abbey, Sydney, and I would be hair dressers. My brother Zach and cousin Tyler of course wanted to be in it too so we said they could massage peoples feet and surprisingly the said they would do it. You need to know fashion trends so you know what hair styles are in. Hairstylists cannot do their job if they aren't good listeners. Not only must they be able to hear what their clients are saying aloud, they must be able to to understand what they don't say as well as what they do say. The following are courses that are typically part of a hairstyling curriculum: Sanitation and sterilization, Hair shaping, Texturizing, Hair extensions, Color methods, Permanent waving, and Salon management. The median hourly wage for hairdressers in 2013 was $11.12, which translates to $23,140 a year. For a hairdresser the hours are around 40 per week. The typical day would be everyone doing what they are suppose to do and getting along. That's the type of job that I would want!

If I could work at any job I would want to work at Six Flags Great America. I would want to work at six flags because I could control rides and games or work in the splash park. Important skills for this job would be to definitely know what your doing if your in charge of buttons to push or levers to pull. Especially so that you do not accidentally do something that your not suppose to. I don't know anyone personally from the job but I do look forward to the awesome hangouts with all my staff. If I could I would want to stay there forever. So to answer the question about the hours I would say i'll be there working 24/7. Imagine getting payed for being in an amusement park and using your free admission to go swimming or on a fun roller coaster on your lunch break. I couldn't exactly find the payment for working at Six Flags but I would work there for free anyway. A typical day at my job would be exactly like this...............I walk in energized and ready for fun. My boss asked me if I can take over one of the game booths because one of the workers are sick. On my way I run into my good friend Olivia Henry and we make plans to go roller coastin' at my lunch break. After I eat lunch and hang with Olivia I have to start working as one of the employees at "The Viper". After yet another good day I stay to watch the parade and have a midnight swim with some other workers. That is what I think it would be like working at the best place in the world!.........SIX FLAGS!!!

I do know someone personally his name is Mr. Bishop he is a cool and funny guy he has two kids and a wife. The hours are like the whole day because you got to work on the things that you are going to do on the next day for our classroom. My job would look like a happy day for me because I like kids that are not bad and that are little and I want to be a teacher of like kindergartens because they are just learning stuff.
