Grocery Store Cashier

Handling cash is oh-so-

20th-century. In fact, all

jobs dealing with paper

money, including bank

tellers and toll booth

operators, could be

obsolete in two decades,

as we rely more on credit

and digital money

Film Processor

If you want to stick with

old-fashioned

photography, better build

your own darkroom. Your

neighborhood photo store

will be going digital, or

going out of business.

CD Store Manager Why browse for CD's at Tower Records when you can search for MP3's online? Music producers are going digital, and retailers must adjust as well. Compact discs don't have the artistic flair of old records, so they won't have the same vintage cachet either.

Union Organizer Union organizers and leaders may soon disappear, says futurist Alvin Toffler, since they show no sign of reversing their 20-year membership decline. "The labor movement has not come to terms with the knowledge economy at all," Toffler says.

Miner

Bacteria like Thiobacillus

ferooxidans can be used

to extract metal from ore.

If there are further

advances in the science

of biomining, expect the

guys with coal-darkened

faces to take above-

ground occupations.

Construction Worker Much construction work is still completed by hand. But three-dimensional printing may change that, says futurist Joel Barker. Instead of simply printing one layer of ink on paper, stereo lithographic printers spit out multiple layers of material to make 3D structures. Eventually, Barker says, these could be used to construct houses on a mass scale.

Fighter Pilot

Why send a man into

combat when you can

send a machine? While

we're still far away from

using robots as front-line

troops, drones are taking

over some manned flight

missions .

Jobs That Will

Call Center Representative Be careful what you wish for. Many people have fantasized, while on hold, about an end to call centers. But if they do disappear, they're likely to be replaced with more automation, not more personal customer service.

Oil Wildcatter

sources of oil when

our economy runs on

hydrogen, solar

power, wind and

manure.

Evaluate Your Choices We have already discussed the decision-making process in

previous chapters.

We have also taken a close look at our personal values and

resources.

RESOURCES- things used for help and support.

EVALUATION- comparing sets of data to rank

them and determine the best choice. (RIASEC code,

Career Cluster, DATA PPL THINGS, COLLEGEBOARD.ORG)

PERSONAL CAREER PROFILE- chart to compare

things about yourself and things you learn about

careers.

Then looking at them side by side and coming up with a good choice..

Narrowing the choices to a few “winners” involves comparing your personal data with the career information.

EVALUATING YOUR CHOICES

THE 6 STEPS IN EVALUATING YOUR PERSONAL

CAREER PROFILE

Always look at these areas when evaluating a career:

1. VALUES---Does this career match up well with my values?

2 . INTERESTS VERSUS RESPONSIBILITIES- Will the day-to-day responsibilities interest me?

Will I be good at them?

3. PERSONALITY---Will be happy with the work environment and hours?

4--DATA-PEOPLE-THINGSDo the data-people-things requirements of this career match up well with my own preferences?

5. SKILLS and APTITUDES---Do I have the skills I need for this career—or the aptitudes to develop them?

6. EDUCATION / TRAINING---Am I willing to get the education and training necessary for this career.

You should complete a personal career profile form for each career choice you have identified for yourself.

16

YOUR CAREER PLAN

Planning your course of action is critical in finding your career.

PROCRASTINATE- put off doing or deciding

about something.

PRIORITIZE- put tasks in order of importance.

INDIVIDUAL CAREER PLAN- course of action

for planning your career. (PICK H.S.

CLASSES, PICK COLLEGE MAJOR,PICK

COLLEGE, VOLUNTEER, RESEARCH, ETC) You need to make some manageable goals.

This will increase your chances to achieve your goals.

You need to establish a goal to manage your High School courses

related to your career area.

One way to help you make a career decision is to visualize how

the career choice will affect your lifestyle.

17

YOUR PLAN OF ACTION GOALS: 4 STEP PROCESS Having your goals in a manageable time frame will help

you establish them. WRITE DOWN 1 GOAL FOR

EACH AREA

1. Short-Term Goal- (1 year) might include taking specific H.S.

classes that will help guide you to your future career.

doctorate, planning family, etc..

Be Specific about each of your goals.

traits when you set your future goals. 18
