...An Appropriate Choice Skulbrick Colorado Mesa University An Appropriate Choice For me, an appropriate career choice is that of a substance abuse counselor (SAC). Teaching people with substance abuse and dependence issues to help themselves would give me significant job satisfaction. I have always been interested in the behavior of intoxicated people, the biological mechanisms that result in lowered inhibitions, diminished reasoning, and a tendency toward violence. I seek to understand the biopsychosocial variables that combine to facilitate the consumption of mood altering substances (Wallace, 2012). Additionally, I would like to develop insight into the process of addiction and the evidence based methods of treatment. My observations of impaired individuals tend to convince me of biopsychosocial reasons for substance abuse and associated behaviors. Therefore, my dream is to gain the knowledge to address the underlying motivation for substance abuse and addiction. (Walters & Rotgers, 2012). Employment Outlook As Miller, Scarborough, Clark, Leonard, and Keziah (2010) reported, the credentialing requirements for SACs vary significantly between the states. They...

...The role of a systems analyst is vital to the success of any organization. In this role, the systems analyst is responsible for being the “liaison” between the technology department and all other departments within the company (Laudon & Laudon, 2011, p. 68). There are several key skills and characteristics necessary to be an effective systems analyst. The person performing this role needs to have excellent communication skills, planning and organizational skills, and managerial skills. While the systems analyst must constantly continue his education as it pertains to new software and hardware systems, there are other roles an analyst is expected to fill. The analyst needs to establish a working relationship with other departments. This allows the analyst to obtain data to assist with the department’s information technology needs. A characteristic that would be demonstrated in this area is that of teamwork. The analyst has to put the needs of the company first and be able to interact with all types of people (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, n.d., p. 5). The position relies on the ability to solve problems within the business. Therefore, the analyst needs to have a clear understanding of how the business operates. By meeting with the various departments, the analyst is able to understand what problem exists and what options are available to resolve the problem (Laudon & Laudon, 2011, p.381). The analyst needs to decide which option will work best for the department...

The reports would detail the findings, the investigative methods, and laboratory techniques used. A forensic science technician may have to use chemicals to examine latent prints and compare them to developed prints known in databases. Sometimes forensic science technicians testify in court about investigative techniques or about analytical methods or findings.

...Anesthesiologist An Anesthesiologist is the physician who cares for a patient before, during, and after surgery. They are responsible for providing the right amount of anesthesia needed for a person to stay asleep during their operation. They are also required to test a patient’s reaction to the anesthesia. Different people require different amounts of anesthesia, and may have a bad reaction to the type they are given. They are given the opportunity to actually get to know the patient and have a connection with them unlike some of the physicians on their case. The degree required to become an Anesthesiologist is a Doctoral or Professional degree. The job outlook from 2012-2022 is currently 18%. This percent is higher than average. A Physician in general can become higher and more important in their field. They can create new discoveries. This adds body to their resume, and also helps medical research at the same time. Physicians usually work a lot longer than the average person. Although they may not practice medicine after the age of 60, they will mentor new doctors or teach at a University. The average amount of money an Anesthesiologist makes a year is $230,350 or $110 an hour. An Anesthesiologist coming out of school would make about $157,650 a year. A person in this field should have the basic reading and writing skills.

...true goals or passions. Once I found out I was having a kid everything changed. I found myself contemplating my future and started to focus on establishing goals for my professional and personal life. With my new found focus I started to actually care about the quality of my work and also started to take on new responsibilities at my job. Due to this new found focus I was quickly promoted to a trainer and 3 months later I was promoted to a manager. To my surprise the role of manager came naturally and I had immediate success. It turns out I have a passion for leading people, driving production, increasing efficiency in processes and found fulfilment in training and developing my direct reports. After reviewing the Occupational Outlook Handbook the two careers that I found that closely combine everything mentioned above are Management Analyst and Top Executive. Plus, both career options can be quite lucrative. Furthermore, these two career choses are inline with the results from the Career Cluster Assessment taken on the Georgia Career Information Center website. The first career I will explore is Management Analyst. The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that the primary role of a Management Analyst is to propose ways to improve efficiency in effort to reduce cost and increase revenues thus leading to wider profit margins which ties in perfectly with some of the task that I enjoyed completing at all my prior employer.

...Macronutrients and Obesity: Revisiting the Calories in, Calories out Framework July 19, 2013 Daniel Riera-Crichtona and Nathan Tefftb Abstract: Recent clinical research has studied weight responses to varying diet composition, but the contribution of changes in macronutrient intake and physical activity to rising population weight remains unknown. Research on the economics of obesity typically assumes a “calories in, calories out” framework, but a richer weight production model separating caloric intake into carbohydrates, fat, and protein, has not been explored. To estimate the contributions of changes in macronutrient intake and physical activity to changes in population weight, we conducted dynamic time series and structural VAR analyses of U.S. data between 1974 and 2006 and a panel analysis of 164 countries between 2001 and 2010. Findings from all analyses suggest that increases in carbohydrates are most strongly and positively associated with increases in obesity prevalence even when controlling for changes in total caloric intake and occupation-related physical activity. If anything, increases in fat intake are associated with decreases in population weight.

...the euro-zone crisis – causes, the crisis and reformation policies (with special reference to greece) the euro-zone ‘The Eurozone’ is the nickname commonly used to describe the member states that use the EU’s single currency, the Euro. The idea of creating a single currency for the European Community was first mentioned in the 1970 Werner report, which led to the establishing of the European Monetary System (EMS), the forerunner of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). The Maastricht Treaty (1992) made EMU a part of EU law and set out a plan to introduce the single currency (the Euro) by 1999. The Maastricht Treaty also established certain budgetary and monetary rules for countries wishing to join the EMU (known as the convergence criteria). In 1998, 11 member states (Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Austria and Finland) undertook the final stage of EMU when they adopted a single exchange rate, which was set by the European Central Bank (Britain, Sweden and Denmark negotiated an opt-out from this final states of EMU). The new Euro notes and coins were launched on 1 January 2002. There are currently 16 EU states in the Eurozone. Greece joined the initial 11 members in 2001, Slovenia joined in 2007, Cyprus and Malta in 2008, and Slovakia joined in 2009. Estonia is due to join the Eurozone in 2011. All future members of the EU must adopt the Euro when they fulfil the convergence criteria. Economic and Monetary Union...
