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.
