There are many similarities and differences of the two careers that I did in the finance cluster. The two careers were Actuarties and Credit Analyst. Three of their similarities are their interests are the same conventional and enterprising, another one is their projected growth is the same 20% to 28%, one last one is their some of their knowledge skills and abilities are similiar including math, economics and accounting, english, critical thinking, active listening and learning and many more. Their differences include what type of schooling you need for a Actuary you need a doctor or proffesional degree for a credit analyst you need a bachelor's degree, their work values are different and their work values only have one in common. These two careers have a lot more alike then different. These two careers are very similiar because they both deal with lots of math and that is something I don't enjoy or am very good at.

Government Careers

This week we did Government and Public Services and my two careers I chose were a Coroner and a Legislator. These two careers were actually very different except for the fact that they were similiar in some of the knowledge, skills, and abilities which were coordination, english, writing, coordination critical thinking and several others. There were many differences in their work values, work styles, interests, job description, tasks and tools and technology. They are very different, both jobs you work with lots of people but as a coroner they almost all are dead as a legislator you work with lots of people. As a coroner you work with lots of autopsy tools as a legislator you work with lots of electronics like computers, phones, etc. Their interests had nothing in common. As you can see they were more different then they were alike.

What & Why?

This week we did education and training as a career cluster, we also did agriculture, food, and natural resources. We also did Education and Training. We also did a career that was opposite of our color. I think we have done these things to learn a variety of careers in a range of different colors that way we really can explore jobs even with things we don't think would apply to us or our colors. It shows us what we may like in a career that isn't our color or something we could not think of doing. I think our point this week was to explore and learn about new things and new careers.
