Career Essay!

• Once I am out of high school I would like to
  pursue a career in Graphic design or an emergency
  medical technician.
• I would like to be a graphic designer because I
  want to be able to be artistic in my future job.
  Also because I would like to be able to take
  pictures and that could help me in that job
  situation. I would like to be an emergency
  medical technician because I would like to be
  able to help people. Also because I think that I
  would learn a lot about the medical world. These
  both involve hands on activities, emergency
  medical technicians have to use their hands to
  help injured people and graphic designers have to
  use their hands to draw pictures for ads. The
  2005 annual wage for a graphic designer was
  35,820. Emergency medical technicians annual wage
  was 22,750.
• Graphic designers have to be a high school
  graduate, they have to be creative and they have
  to have a sense of balance and proportion.
  Emergency medical technicians have to be at least
  18 and have a high school diploma or a GED. Also
  they have to pass a training class and work well
  under pressure.
• The working conditions of an E.M.T are that
  they have to work indoors outdoors and sometimes
  in very dim places. They also have to be able to
  work with injured or angry people. They also have
  to work a 40 hour week sometimes even on
  weekends. A graphic designer has to work in a
  very social environment. They have to talk to
  clients supervisors and their co-workers. They
  work mostly indoors also they have a set
  schedule.
• I think that I would be able to perform in
  either profession I also think that I would enjoy
  either one. If I worked in graphic design I would
  be able to be artistic if I was an E.M.T. I would
  be able to help people. These are the jobs I plan
  to pursue.

Final Thoughts

• I think that I would like to be a graphic
  designer more than my other options I think this
  because I would still be able to take pictures
  and I would be able to express my self. Also
  because I think if I was to change jobs being in
  that very flexible setting I would be able to
  adjust to almost any other job.
• Since I am only in high school my current
  hobbies, interests , likes, dislikes are always
  changing so I cant be certain that this is the
  job I will choose. I believe that later on in
  life I might still want to do this as a job but
  for now I cant say that for certain.
