Social Worker

Duties and Responsibilities: Social workers help people who have challenges in their life. A social worker can work at a clinic, offices or school. They help the community by helping patient or families who have gone through a big change. They help find resources and check up on them to see if there is progress. Many times they are the ones who have to take action when a child is being abused. They usually come in to check on them and if they see something is wrong they help send the child to a healthy family. 

Salary: $47,980 per year

Education: Bachelor's or Mater's degree in social work

Reflection: No I would not like to be a social worker. I mean the career seems interesting but I don't think I would be mentally prepared to see and hear things. It seems like a very difficult job because yes you are helping the community but the thing is that you must gain your client's trust and that can be very difficult.

Thomas S Monson

"Dare to stand alone. Stand up for what is right, even if you stand alone"

I like this quote because I can relate to it. I am Christian and many of my friends have a different religion. Yes they are my friends and I will support them no matter what but when it comes to things I know are wrong and go against my beliefs, I back out or stay away for a while. I have many friends who smoke and drink but I don't do what they do. Somedays I'm tempted because of all the stress but I stay away. Many think I can be too quiet or isolated or even a flake, in other words, I know the reason why I stay away. Usually, I can be the only one in my group of friends who doesn't but if standing up for my beliefs means standing alone, I don't mind. 

Respiratory therapist

Duties and Responsibilities: They are therapists who specialize in helping patients with breathing problems like asthma. They find out the lung's capacity and teach patients how to use certain instruments like a ventilator. Before anything is physically done to the patient, they discuss what their choice of treatment is and keep track on their progress.

Salary: $59,710 per year

Education: Associates Degree

Reflection: This career would be a choice for me to pursue because I want to be able to help kids and people with asthma or can't breathe right. I know it isn't pleasant and I would like to be able to make these people feel better and live better. I want to help my family and friends who have these problems.

Sophocles

"I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating."

I agree with this philosopher because when you win by cheating you have no honor to even try and be fair. When you get discovered that you cheated instead of feeling proud you feel shame and regret for what you have done. Sometimes failing is good it teaches you to be better and improve, it is not always bad. People just have a negative mind and they see failure is something to be ashamed of. In life, you can't always win and when you fail but you tried your hardest and you did everything on a fair playing ground you never lose your honor. Many think it is all about winning but it is important to see that failing is another way of saying what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Reiki

Duties and Responsibilities: They will consult with your patient the process of treatment and make sure they are comfortable and relaxed. A reiki will need to take their medical history and then they position their hands in different sequences to let the healing energy work its way into the body and do its healing process. Each session is close to 1-2 hours.

Salary: $30-$80 per hour

Education: A college course and 3 years of training with reiki master

Reflection: No I would not like to be a reiki though it is interesting because where does the energy come from. I have to admit I'm curious to try this career but I want to be in a career where I don't feel I will only try this out of curiosity. 

Dan Dierdorf

"If I've got correct goals, and if I keep pursuing them the best way I know how, everything else falls into line. If  I do the right thing right, I'm going to succeed."

I agree with Dan. Everyone at least has one correct goal, one they need and want the most. But many don't reach this goal because they pursue it the wrong way. There are three steps to success. Have a goal, pursue it the best way and finally you succeed. You can't succeed by pursuing your goal the wrong way. The best way you can succeed and have a good life with fewer worries than others, you must be a person who does the right thing. It doesn't hurt to try and honestly you can't lose anything for trying to be a good person. Key to reaching your goal is to do the right the thing the best way you can.

Reflexology

Duties and Responsibilities: Reflexologists are like massage therapists, they observe any painful or tense points of the patient and they manipulate/soften the tissue to relax the patient. They work with patients who have any injuries and consult with them what they should turn to as a treatment. A reflexologist focuses more on the feet, hands, and ears.

Salary: $39,990

Education: Postsecondary non-degree award

Reflection: No I would not like to pursue this type of career. Though this job may be relaxing, I would want to do a job that requires me to be on my feet and multitasking. This job seems very interesting because I learn all the pressure points which can relieve stress or relax me so that's a pro of this career.
