Levi Rood St.Amand

My career choices

I chose these careers because they have been an interest to me for some time.
My first choice is vet
Nature of work: Being a vet is where you work in the medical field with animals there are specific
types of vets but right now well be talking about the basic ones like the ones that work with cats and
dogs. Your job as a vet is to make sure that the pet brought in is in healthy conditions and nothing is
wrong with it also as a vet is to make sure that you help the pets if there is a problem. There are a few
specialties when being a vet you have to understand the anatomie of animals and know how to give a
diagnostic.

location:Where you will be working depends on what line of vet you choose you could be working in a
vet clinic a farm, lab, or the wild.

Educational requirements: In order to be a vet you will need to get a doctoral or a professional
degree. There are a few qualities that can be helpful with being a vet. Of course being well with
animals, being ok with blood,.

Salary: The 2019 median pay for a vet was between $80,609 and $130,236 with the base pay
being $102,635.

benefits: common benefits that come with being a vet are disability compensation, veterans
pension program, disability house grant and life insurance options.

lifetime income options: the expected lifetime income a vet is $ 3,526,000

My second choice is: Welder

About this career: welding is where you use different forms of melting metal together to make the connection stronger.

working conditions: working conditions can varey if you work in a shop you'd get your own cubicle and put the parts
together. But if you work on sites it just depends on were it is if its inside outside.

training and/or education: you can start as soon as you get out of high school you would ask someone to take there time to
teach you while also working.

Salary: on average a welder makes about 47,840 a year

Benefits: the benefits depend on if you get hired by a company if you do the benefits are paid vacations and free health care.

lifetime income options: the expected salary of a welder is $36,395 with the life time income being $1,519,418
My best choice: welding

Why I chose this career: i can start the job as soon as i get out of high school as a vet id need to
take like 4 more years of collage.

How does the salary compare in different locations in the country? Oregon has one of the lower
pays for welders but the number just rises in other states but some do pay less than oregon

How does learning or education affect your lifetime income? It doesn't cause i just need my high
school diploma then find someone that'll give me a apprenticeship

What are some of the disadvantages of both careers: for vet its needing to spend money for
college or needing to spend more time in school. For welding itd have to be finding someone to
teach me.

what did you learn from this project blue collar jobs are a good way to go.
