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:
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 have been reading about some jobs but I haven´t decided yet whitch of them choose in the university.
However there is one of them that I like. It is economy.
I like it because of we have started to study it at school and I think that I can study it easyly.
I have just read on the link that many of the economist work for the government and I would like to work for the government in the future.
This job is about researching about taxes banking system, interest rating, stock market...
But specially I like it because it is a social science and i really interest this kind of science. It study how people organize in the society.

This mean that I control some of the money that my company have. At last, I love this jobs and I will want to study for it.
I was reading about social worked but I don't know if I`ll chang my opinion in the future.

I have been reading about some jobs but I haven´t decided yet whitch of them choose in the university.
I want to be psychologist. I want to know as it is the human mind...the psycholist problems, explain why people act as they do, do research to test the ideas about people's actions, research methods vary... I like helping people and I have curiosity to understand the human behavior. I believe that it is a nice work because you can solve problems of people. And I think that the psychological problems are worse than the physicists problems...
I like too work in a school to help students with family's problems, study problems and more.
I like too be social worker.I like help people overcome problems and make their lives better. I want to might work with people who are homeless, sick, or having family problems. One of the ways social workers help is by finding resources for people.I think that it's interesting give counseling, talk to people about their lives and help them to understand and solve their problems and to make plans.

For example: I want to be a reporter...I want to wake up a morning and think: Today I´m going to a Tv program to do a inteview.
It´s my dream...BUT when I think in my real future..I´m sad because this profession is never safe and it hasn´t many opportunities.

I hope so the life give me a opportunitie!

certainly i don't know it, in fact i don't like have to answer the question "what do you want to be in the future? " because i don't know! and i think i still have time to think about this .
I'm interested in studying a career conected with the social studies or helping people, because it's like it.
psychologist is a career that attracted my attention, especially the child psychology because i think that the biggest problems of the people were caused during the childhood.
The information on the web page it's very useful because it explains very well about the careers, what about the working sphere, the differnts areas.. etc.
Words that i look up in the dictionary
research : investigar
behavior: comportamiento
degree: titulo, egresar, grado..
Bye.
