Finance

The past couple of days we have been researching about the finance cluster. The two careers that I researched were sales agents and fundraising managers. The simularities between the two are that in New York they both make around $130,000, they both need to be good at english adn economics/accounting, and they are both growing at an average percentage of 10% to 19%. The differences are sales agents have conventional interests and fundrasing managers have artistic interests, and fundraising managers are in the educational services industry while sales agents are in finance and insurance and self-employed industries. The finance cluster is a high paying cluster that has jobs that do not need much college education to get the job.

Week of October 28, 2013

This week we did two careers in education and training and compared them. We also did two careers in agriculture, but we did not compare them. On Thursday, we did a paper on a career of our opposite color. Since my color is green, I had to do an orange career, so I did carpenter.

Arts

When I researched two careers in the arts, audio/vidio technology and communications cluster I found out many things. The first career that I researched was commercial and industrial designers. Commercial and industrial designers develop and design manufactured products. They make $59,610 in the U.S. and are growing at an average rate of 10% to 19%. The other career that I researched was graphic designers. Graphic designers Design or create graphics to meet specific commercial or promotioal needs. They make $44,150 in the U.S. and are also growing at an average rate of 10% to 19%. The arts career cluster is very important in a society. We need people in these careers and in this career cluster.
