The judge listens to cases in trials, makes difficult decisions based on the law and each person's unique circumstances, and aims to be fair. The carpenter does various carpentry work like building furniture and houses, though there is less work now as more things are prefabricated, making the job easier. The teacher stays busy planning lessons, giving tests, grading homework, talking to parents, and helping with after-school activities in addition to teaching, and finds the work rewarding despite a modest salary.

1. What do you do, exactly?
Joseph Todd Molly Swift Benjamin Morse
As a judge, I am in charge of
trials. I listen to people and
their lawyers, and I make
decisions. These decisions are
sometimes very difficult. Of
course, I know the law well, but
each person’s case is different,
and I try to be fair.
I do many kinds of
carpentry. I work all year. I
build furniture, and I also
build houses. My work is
sometimes difficult and
dangerous. These days, a
lot of things are
“prefabricated” – already
made. As a result, my job is
easier, but there is less
work.
My job keeps me busy. I
plan lessons, give tests,
grade homework, talk to
parents, help with after-
school activities – and, of
course, I teach! My salary
isn’t great, but that’s OK.
My students are excited
about learning, so I’m
happy.
