 Farmer

 Agronomist
 FARMER

A farmer (also called an agriculturer) is a person engaged in agriculture, raising living organisms
for food or raw materials. The term usually applies to people who do some combination of
raising field crops, orchards, vineyards, poultry, or other livestock. A farmer might own the
farmed land or might work as a laborer on land owned by others, but in advanced economies, a
farmer is usually a farm owner, while employees of the farm are known as farm workers, or
farmhands.

Most farmers receive their training on the job, often by being raised on a farm. However, the
completion of a 2-year associate degree or a 4-year bachelor's degree at a college of agriculture
or a university that offers agricultural degrees is becoming increasingly important for farm
managers and for farmers and ranchers who expect to make a living at farming. You must get at
least five (5) csec subjects including Agriculture.
 Agronomist
Agronomists, sometimes known as crop scientists, specialize in producing and improving food
crops through conducting experiments and developing methods of production. As plant
scientists, agronomists can have many career paths, but their careers are generally focused on
increasing the quality and amount of food produced for the nation's food supply. They can be
teachers, agricultural business consultants, researchers, or even work for the U.S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA). They often work in the field, on farms, or in agricultural labs and mills. A
bachelor's degree is required to become an agronomist, although many professionals obtain
further degrees.

Agronomists have varied duties that require them to think critically to solve problems. First
and foremost, agronomists experiment and plan studies to improve crop yields. They study a
farm's crop production in order to discern the best ways to plant, harvest, and cultivate the
plants, regardless of the climate. It is also important for agronomists to develop methods to
control weeds and pests to keep crops disease-free. Agronomists have a fairly wide salary range
in the reported that most agronomists earned average base salaries between $34,550 -
$79,751 (US) per year, with a total compensation, including bonuses, commission, and profit
sharing, ranging from $33,206 - $84,199 annually.
  Stone Mason
 Horticulturist

Stone mason
A stonemason is an individual who takes rough pieces of rock or stone, and shapes it into
geometric shapes as dictated by the builder, and then, using these shaped stones together with
cement or lime stone mortar, creates structures and/or works of art. These structures include
monuments, buildings, cathedrals, tombstones, etc.
 A mason’s workplace is generally outdoors and relatively hazardous, making hard hats and
caution extremely important, although some masons do spend sometime in a mason’s shop.
Various advancements in masonry technology allow modern-day masons to work outside in
varying weather conditions. Masons often work on scaffolds high in the air for extended periods
of time. Carrying heavy materials over rough terrain is also part of the mason’s environment.

Horticulturist
A horticulturist is someone who uses scientific knowledge to cultivate and propagate plants,
and then uses this knowledge to provide technical information to fruit, vegetable and flower
growers as well as farmers.

Characteristics of duties and responsibilities:

1. Designs, installs, and maintains annual and perennial beds, grass, shrubbery and trees.
2. Supervises and directs grounds personnel by est.
abolishing schedules, assigning tasks, monitoring and reviewing projects to ensure deadlines
and quality standards are met.
3. Applies pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers complying with state and federal guidelines.
4. Records the application of pesticides and maintains a MSDS record of the chemicals store in
the facility.
5. Plans unit activities and decides priorities; assists in implementing policies and procedures

Bachelor's degree for entry level position; master's degree for advancement is needed . Their
salary $40,851 per year (US).
  Veterinarian
 Biotechnician

Veterinarian
Veterinarians tend to the healthcare needs of animals, including pets, livestock, and zoo and
laboratory animals. Most vets work in private clinics treating companion animals, for example
dogs and cats. They diagnose illnesses and perform medical procedures. A small number are
equine veterinarians who treat horses, and food animal vets who work with farm animals.
There are some vets who specialize in food safety and inspection.
 To become a veterinarian one must earn a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M. or V.M.D.)
degree from an accredited college of veterinary medicine. Although many schools admit
applicants who don't have a bachelor's degree, having one will increase your odds of getting
accepted. There is keen competition for entry into this four year program.

Biotechnician
Biological technicians help biological and medical scientists conduct laboratory tests and
experiments. They typically need a bachelor’s degree in biology or a closely related field. It is
important for prospective biological technicians to gain laboratory experience while in school.
The median annual wage for biological technicians was $39,750 in May 2012.
 Statistician
 Economic Analyst
 Statistician
A Statistician is someone who works with theoretical or applied statistics. The profession exists
in both the private and public sectors. It is common to combine statistical knowledge with
expertise in other subjects. Statisticians are concerned with the collection, analysis,
interpretation and presentation of quantitative information. They work in a range of sectors
including:

 health
 education
 government
 finance
 the environment
 forensics
 transportation
 sport
 market research.

Statisticians design and manage experiments and surveys, and deal with the initial collection of
data. They process and analyze the data in context, looking for patterns to help make decisions.
They advise on findings and recommend strategy.
 ECONOMIC ANALYST
An economic analyst discerns potential outcomes of economic or financial decisions made by
corporate executives or government legislators. In this profession, you'll generally perform
research and gather data for microeconomic analysis, usually about a specific industry.
Economic analysts examine economic data to formulate assessments of economic activity and various
elements of the economy such as tax revenue, the labour market and Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Their conclusions are used to advise governmental agencies, investment firms, businesses and the
general public.

Economic Analyst Job Duties

• Collect, verify, examine and interpret economic data

• Create detailed reports concerning conclusions of research activity

• Achieve economic forecasts by using econometric techniques

• Maintain current knowledge of proposed legislative changes and how they may affect the
economy

• Recognize the economic indicators of the local, regional, national and international levels

• Advise government agencies, business leaders and the media concerning the condition of the
economy and economic forecasts
 Carpenter
 Mason
 CARPENTER
A carpenter is a person who works with wood. They can make cabinets, build houses, or do other things
with wood. Carpenters usually make very good foremen (people who watch over a job) on larger jobs as
they deal with so much of the project from ground up.

A carpenter's unique job duties vary depending on whether they work in rough carpentry or
finish carpentry. In addition, there are many areas in which carpenters can specialize in making
specific types of wood products or engaging in specialized carpentry processes.

Rough Carpenters -
typically work outdoors on large construction projects. They use blueprints to decide what
amount and type of materials are needed for the job. After materials are selected, rough
carpenters cut materials according to specifications. They may use hand saws, power saws, or
woodworking machines. After cutting the materials to a specified size, a carpenter will then join
or assemble them as elements of a larger structure. Sometimes, in order to move these
elements into place, carpenters must build scaffolding or other temporary supports. Carpenters
may even build sleds to haul timber through wooded areas and rough terrain where motorized
vehicles cannot go.

Finish Carpenters -
are primarily involved in making cabinetry, furniture, models, and instruments. They also create
ornate, detailed, and fine wood products for a variety of uses. They must be detail-oriented and
work on a small scale efficiently. Their work is often performed in a shop, though some finish
carpenters travel to construction sites to fit and install trim, fine cabinets, and other household
furnishings.
 Mason
A mason is a person who engages in the building trade, specifically with brick or stone.
