8. Broadcast News Analyst
Job Description and Response: Analyze, interpret, and broadcast
news received from various sources. I think this would be a good
career choice for me because I am inquisitive and I like to look into
situations. I also think I would be good in front of a camera.
9. Day in the Life:
It requires a great deal of stamina, physical fitness, and unflagging
self-motivation.
Aspiring television reporters must be strong on perseverance, be
able to look danger squarely in the face, be willing to work long
hours, forego weekends, holidays, and special occasions, and be
ready to be on the road at a moment’s notice.
Television reporters gather information, investigate leads, and write
and report stories “live” or “on the scene.”
Reporters with good memory and poise who are able to speak
fluently and extemporaneously will fare well.
Some specialize in areas such as medicine, consumer
news, sports, science, and weather.

12. Job Description and Response: You must plan, design, and furnish interiors of
residential, commercial, or industrial buildings. You will formulate design which
is practical, aesthetic, and conducive to intended purposes, such as raising
productivity, selling merchandise, or improving life style. You may specialize in
a particular field, style, or phase of interior design. I think this career would fit
me because I am creative and I like hands-on activities.
Interior Designer
13. Day in the Life:
An interior designer is responsible for the interior design, decoration, and functionality
of a client’s space, whether the space is commercial, industrial, or residential. Interior
designers work closely with architects and clients to determine the structure of a
space, the needs of the occupants, and the style that best suits both.
Interior designers have to be good with more than color, fabric, and furniture; interior
designers must know materials, have budgeting skills, communicate well, and oversee
the ordering, installation, and maintenance of all objects that define a space.
Interior designers have to be able to work with contractors and clients alike, planning
and implementing all aesthetic and functional decisions, from faucet handles to miles
of carpeting —and all this usually must be done within a fixed budget
Those who thrive in the industry say this ability to balance the practical with the
aesthetic is crucial to being a successful interior designer.

17. Job Description and Response: Journalism is the activity or product of
journalists or others engaged in the preparation of written, visual, or audio
material intended for dissemination through public media with reference to
factual, ongoing events of public concern. It is intended to inform society
about itself and to make public, things that would otherwise be private. I think
this would be a good job for me because I like to be inquisitive as well as
creative. I think this is a good balance for me.
Journalist
18. Day in the Life:
Journalists interview sources and review records to assemble, collect, and
report information and explore the implications of the facts.
Journalists must maintain a point of view while remaining objective about
their subjects, which can be difficult; around half our respondents said that
their colleagues sometimes got too involved in the stories before.
Long hours and chronic deadline pressure can be significantly negative
factors.
When an editor calls you in on a breaking story, you have to be prepared to
drop everything; when you’re on deadline, you can get crazed trying to
write a complicated story in half the time you need.
Excellent writing skills are a must, as are computer word-processing skills.
The best journalists have a knack for putting contemporary events into
historical perspective.

Actress
22. Day in the Life:
Actors’ satisfaction with their profession seems to vacillate
with whether or not they are currently working.
Many working actors would agree with the one who wrote
that he found the occupation
“challenging, thrilling, exciting, and wonderful.”
The community of similarly “demented” professionals is
the most supportive aspect of this otherwise cutthroat
career.
