...Amanda was when and why she chose to become a professional cosmetologist/nail technician and she replied, “I decided when I was nineteen, and my mom is in the industry. She has been in it for 35 years and she was a salon owner. I have been raised in a salon my whole life, so I always had a passion for it.” Her interest in cosmetology started when she was young, but she did not pursue this path at first. “Out of high school, I went into a little nursing program and I got a CNA [certified nursing assistant] license. But I wasn’t happy doing that and discovered that this is just my passion”, she admitted. Becoming a licensed cosmetologist or nail technician is not a fast process...

...Career Research Paper I have designed this assignment as a step by step guide to walk my students through the research process. Of course, you may adjust it as you feel is necessary according to the level of students you are working with. This project explains in detail everything they need to research, as well as, giving them real world insight into what to expect in a career in terms of education, job duties and responsibilities and income. I begin by having them take a reality check quiz on the Jump Start Coalition website. This little quiz helps them determine how much money they will need to earn in order to live the lifestyle they would like to have. This income amount in turn helps open their eyes to the type of job necessary to achieve that income and what amount of education is involved. It was a real wake up call for many of my students. In this package I have also included a grading rubric for the project and a list of possible career choices for their assignment. Student Instructions You will be writing a research paper on a career chosen from the attached list. Think carefully about which career you chose to research.

...These individuals cut hair, shave and polish shoes to earn a living. One interesting research fact I found was in the past, barbers were also surgeons and dentists. Becoming a barber has both personal and professional benefits, if you are considering this career. One of the main benefits of being a barber is the lack of demands of a busy workplace. Barbers in a shop work together as a team and help each other by taking customers to the barber chair and completing their customer’s request. The ability to work as a team can play a major role in the success of the business as a whole, but working alone can be just as a big deal. When one works alone, the customers take into account the amount of time that it will take for one to perform their job, the constancy of that individuals works, and that prices may be more expensive than normal. Secondly, while some customers only want a simple trim, others desire a detailed design or logo. Creativity is beneficial if one wants to be a barber. This profession...

...My incentive to Study First of all, I would say that knowledge is key. This may sound cliché to some people but it holds a lot of meaning to me and I believe everyone else who has a goal of being successful and living an accomplished life in this world of today where everything is in chaos, would not agree less to my proposition. We live in a world where the rich keeps getting rich and the poor, poorer. This may be true to some degree because the uninformed rich man can lose his riches because of lack of knowledge. The only bridge between these two set of social levels, is education. Depending on where you stand, if you acquire more knowledge about how things are made or run, then you can cross over for a better stand in the social levels. I am not proud to say this, but coming from a poverty-stricken background has always gotten me angry (in a positive way). However, knowing that I have the possibility of catapulting myself to a higher level of independence and a more self-sustaining condition -by the grace of God, has been my incentive to study. I always tell myself that my yesterday cannot determine my tomorrow. My tomorrow is how I make today. Working hard today through studies either by theories or hands-on practice can help me to cease the opportunities of tomorrow. Professional Goals I have a lot of dreams- some I shall be mentioning in this essay. My immediate dream now is to successfully complete this prestigious program which I am currently enrolled- Master in International...

...Paul Meister University of Phoenix Masters of Human Service Culture and Psychology February 16, 2014 Final Project I have chosen a collectivistic culture which is the Amish culture. A few details regarding the background of the Amish culture is they are most concentrated in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana with 273,700 adults and children and nearly 350 settlements in thirty states of the USA and in Ontario (Kuhnova, 2012) The Amish culture tries to live in nonconformity to the world. This is demonstrated by their dialect, their plain clothing, transportation of horse and buggy, and their housing, functioning to the outside world as distinction and to the inside community as confirmation of a shared identity (Kuhnova, 2012). This clothing style is uniform and leaves little room for individualism, although small differences are perceptible in sewing and cloths. Where for non-Amish this might sound like a limitation of freedom. They fear that owning a car leads to individualism, distinction, social inequality, and too much personal freedom (Vonk, 2012). The above behavior choices of the Amish cultural emphasize togetherness and reinforce group cohesion. According to Vonk (2011), “The community and its welfare are ranked above personal freedom and individual rights, what contradicts modern values such as individualism and self-expression the Amish receive a durable and visible ethnic identity” (pg. 68). The traditional community is quite separate from the outside world,...

...A test or examination is an assessment intended to measure a test-taker's knowledge, skill, aptitude, physical fitness, or classification in many other topics (e.g., beliefs). A test may be administered orally, on paper, on a computer, or in a confined area that requires a test taker to physically perform a set of skills. Tests vary in style, rigor and requirements. For example, in a closed book test, a test taker is often required to rely upon memory to respond to specific items whereas in an open book test, a test taker may use one or more supplementary tools such as a reference book or calculator when responding to an item. A test may be administered formally or informally. An example of an informal test would be a reading test administered by a parent to a child. An example of a formal test would be a final examination administered by a teacher in a classroom or an I.Q. test administered by a psychologist in a clinic. Formal testing often results in a grade or a test score.[1] A test score may be interpreted with regards to a norm or criterion, or occasionally both. The norm may be established independently, or by statisticalanalysis of a large number of participants. A standardized test is any test that is administered and scored in a consistent manner to ensure legal defensibility.[2]Standardized tests are often used in education, professional certification, psychology (e.g., MMPI), the military, and many other fields. A non-standardized test is usually flexible in scope...
