What do you want to be in the future?

What are your plans and ambitions for the future?

Visit the following site about jobs and careers.
http://www.bls.gov/k12/

It contains clear and well organised information about many of the jobs you can think of.

Follow these steps:
1. Click on the subject you like.
2. Select all jobs you are interested in and read about them.
3. Then, tell us about the job/s you chose and why.
4. Don't forget to include the answers to these questions:

  • Did the information on this page help you think about your future?

  • Which words did you look up in the dictionary?.

  • Which will be your dream job?


  • Write your comments carefully; check grammar and spelling and pay attention to sentence structure. Do not translate word by word. Remember I will mark this activity as a composition.

    5. Watch a video in the page below.
    6. Have a look at the "notas corte" at the end of this post.

    These are two more sites you can visit:
    job profiles and this other site where you can watch a video of the job description. Choose a "Category" and then a job; then play video that appears on the right side.

    For instance this is what a Teacher assistant has to do. I wish I had one!!




    As promised this is the link to the "notas corte" in the Andalusian Universities. Here you will find that and some other information about how to enter the University.

    merry christmas everybody!

    I don't know about my future, but I would like to be musician, but it's very difficult, I like the music since I was boy and I have friends who they like to be musician too. And if this idea fails I like to be teacher, or teach to boys and girls play the guitar, but I don't know who I will be in the future.
    See you later.

    For other hand, the painting relaxes me. The information of the this page is ok.

    HELLO!!
    I would like do a career related to the maths and to the economy, because I like very much these two subjects. Some works like administrative, solicitor, businesswoman, lawyer, and accountant are very interesting for me. In this links of the blog I have read about some of these works. In one of them, says that the people who want to be accountant must be good at math and have good analytical skills and they will have good job opportunities. I would like to do a degree course to have more opportunity in get it. In the link “notas de corte” in Andalucía, I have read that is of 6.74 approximately. I’m motivated to obtain it and I hope to reach it. Also, for this career, it’s very important to know languages. Because of it, I want to improve my English and learn other languages too. All the links of the blog are very interesting and have a lot of information about the works, careers and... on our future!! I have learned many new words:
    Businessman - empresario
    Law - derecho
    Solicitor - notario/gestor
    Research - investigación
    Will - testamento
    Accounting - contabilidad
    Clerical - administrativo

    Hi!!
    I’m not still sure of my future. I want to be an economist because I like Mathematics and Economy. But I don’t know, now it’s difficult for me to choose. I think that this link is very interesting because it gives us information about our future.
    Because of it I want to study a lot of Economy and also English because the languages are very important nowadays. I also will learn German and French. The mark I will need to study Economy in the University is low.
    But at this moment I don’t want to think about it, it’s too early. Next year I will think about my future, but this term I will only study all I can because it’s important to have a good level of culture.

    Hi! Happy New Year!
    At the present I don´t know about my future job.
    I like History, I have facility for this subjet, the mark for accede isn´t high (the mark is 5.00) and in Granada there are many situations vacant. Probable, I will study this, really I love interpretation. When I was 7 years old, I was protagonist in my first play and it was fantastic. I love this world but in Granada there isn´t any castings. The actors have a difficult life, for example, it can spend a lot of time between jobs, although the recompense is big.
    I have a little time for decide me, I hope that take the best determination because, this determination will mark my life.

    I learn new words:
    -perform: realizar
    -steady: regular
    -skilled: hábil
    -pressure: presión
    -endure: resistir
    -sharpen: perfeccionar
    -bachelor: soltero

    See you soon!!

    I love myself the education, of course I want to study teaching but I am not sure for that there are enough teachers nowadays.
    I also would like dancing ... since I was small I liked singing and dancing ... although I see that more distant..

    But now only it is necessary to worry about studying for in a future to be able to choose the profession that more you like and you could be satisfied of her.
    To be able to choose the future ... We must make use of this opportunity and study also a career to be able to gain access to courses of major quality.
