"Education Is Key"

"Education Is The Latch Key To Success"

"Education is the latch key to success" is Gordon B. Hinckley's famous quote. I believe that he is correct because most of the people we look up to like Bill Gates and Obama all had a great education. Obama didn't start very well but, once he got a grip on his life he ended up becoming president. Bill Gates was a dropout. The difference between him and most people who drop out is the Bill Gates dropped out of his final year at harvard while most people can't even graduate from high school. I think this is true because, my brother's couldn't even finish high school, so now they are stuck working in restaurants. That's why I have to graduate from high school.

Opticians

They must measure the size of eyeglasses and coordinate frames with facial and eye measurements and optical prescription. They must also adjust frame and lens position to fit client.

Education: While some opticians enter the profession with only high school diplomas, most employers prefer applicants with opticianry certificates or associate’s degrees. Associate’s degree programs in opticianry prepare students with the job skills needed for an entry-level position in the field. Courses may include optical theory ophthalmic dispensing lens technology, finishing procedures and an optical laboratory.  Opticians may also gain training through apprenticeship programs, which are often offered by large employers and tend to last two or more years.

Reflection: I would not like to be an optician because I feel like, although it does help people, that it would be a boring job. I’ve had many experiences with opticians because my brother has very bad eye sight and almost every optician we’ve gone to, has been very cranky. Maybe it’s just my experiences with them but , otherwise, I’d still prefer to be an electronic engineer.

Picture:

 Reflection: 

I wouldn’t like to be an ophthalmologist because I would much rather be an engineer and work with technology than just be an eye doctor. Although I do like the fact that you can perform eye surgery when necessary.

Audiologist

Add A Picture:

Reflection:

I would consider being an audiologist because it looks like it is a very easy job. An audiologist most of the time looks like a calm mellow person. But I feel like with one little mistake you can end up ruining someone’s hearing. But, on the other hand you can also give people who can’t hear very well the chance to hear once more.

Picture:

Reflection:

Picture:

Reflection:

I would not like to be an ambulance dispatcher because they don’t get paid very well. Although they do save people’s lives, I believe that electronic engineering is much more of a hands on career. If anything I would rather be an ambulance driver because at least then I will be part of the action.

Reflection:
I would not like to be an Acupuncturist because I just believe that it is not a very exciting job. Once again I would much rather be an electronic engineer. I don’t really like touching people so it is just not the job for me. I also might get tense that I might hurt the person I’m supposed to heal.
