Happy Thanksgiving

I’m thankful for so many things. I’m thankful for a family that cares and supports me for a lot of things. They always help me with my problems even when I say I don’t need them to help. They are always there for me.  I’m also thankful for fun things like video games and sports. I don’t play video games that much but when I do I have a lot of fun playing them especially with friends. I’m extremely thankful for my friends because they are there for me when I need it the most. I’m thankful for a good education system like Livonia so I can get good knowledge of the things I am required to know. But one of the things I am most thankful for is music, especially rock n roll. If I haven’t discovered music like that I don’t think my life would be the same at all. Music inspires me into dong a lot of things. But what I’m most thankful for is in 8th grade when my social studies teacher sat me next to someone that ended up being my best friend. We’ve had some really good times together. Those are the things that I am thankful for.

Career Exploration

The two careers that I chose from my career matchmaker results are musician and pharmacist. The first one I’m going to write about it pharmacist. The kind of degree you need is a Pharm.D. Michigan University can offer the education needed. You must have 3 or 4 years of training until you can become a pharmacist. It cost about 75,000 to 150,000 dollars to get the education needed to become a pharmacist. The kind of work that I would be doing is filling prescriptions. I would be making 15 dollars an hour and about 1,445 dollars a week. The next career is musician. You don’t necessarily need a degree to be a musician unless it is an orchestra or a choir. If you don’t know how to play an instrument you can go to any school and they will offer lessons to teach you how to play the instrument you want to play. Being a musician requires a lot of training such as practice. The kind of work I would be doing is getting new equipment and hiring managers and booking gigs. What you get paid depends on how many people paid for tickets to your show.
