By Eric Wenstrom

2. Fire Inspector
• You have to observe, receive, and obtain
information from all relevant sources. Inspect
equipment, structures, or materials to identify the
cause of errors or other problems or defects.
Identify information by categorizing, estimating,
recognizing differences or similarities, and
detecting changes in circumstances or events. I
like this job because I want to do something in
the career of helping people out and finding
different problems and making them better.

3. Police Detectives
• You have to Enter, transcribe, record, store, or
maintain information in written or electronic form.
You have to observe and receive information
from all relevant sources. You have to analyze
information and evaluate results to solve the
problems. You have to provide a testimony in
court. You have to examine crime scenes and
look for evidence. I like this job because I would
like to work somewhere in the police force and
try to help out in finding criminals.

4. Court Reporters
• You will need to record court cases by
recording what people say and do. You
have to write down shorthand notes and
record symbols on a computer and
translate them into words. My reaction to
this job is that it looks like a good job but I
would not want to do it because I don’t
want to sit there all day and take notes
and record people.

5. Carpenters
• You have to construct, erect, install or
repair structures and fixtures made of
wood. There is many different things you
have to fix such as wood stairways,
windows, door frames, and hardwood
floors it may also include installing
cabinets, siding, drywall and batt or roll
insulation. I like the way this job sounds
because I would like to work with my
hands and on things instead of in a office.

6. Brickmasons and Blockmasons
• You have to lay and bind building
materials. You use brick, structural tile,
concrete block, cinder block, glass block,
and terra-cotta block, with mortar and
other substances to construct or repair
walls, partitions, arches, sewers, and other
structures. I like this job because I would
like to work in an area like this with fixing
things with my hands.

7. Crane and Tower Operators
• You have to operate mechanical boom
and cable or tower and cable equipment to
lift and move materials, machines, or
products in many directions. I don’t think I
would like this job as much because I
would feel scared about being at high
levels and be scared of dropping the work.
