Under the Sea!

Hey guys welcome back to my blog again! Jobs jobs that's the top of this entire blog! Today I have caught interest in the job of being a scuba-diver instructor. As I mentioned in my previous blog I wouldn't want a job that would confine me into a desk working in an office. I mean it just sounds extremely boring. So I've found an outdoor job that fits my preferences. Scuba-diving! I love the water and I love interacting with the marine life of the deep sea. My favorite part about visiting the deep sea is seeing all of the long lost ship wrecks..... if only.




             But in all seriousness here are some statistics about becoming a scuba-diver instructor. First of all you don't even need to have a college degree to become one! A degree marine biology and environmental science can help you stand out from the rest of the crowd. You need to be certified in CPR and First aid just in case anything happens. After all of this you have to pass a diver instructor course and then you can go on to specialize in a certain area such as night diving or cave diving. The payment is usually around $90 per person you are instructing with a class of students ranging between 1-15. This sounds like my type of job because I love to interact with new people and teach them new ways to have fun!

Feeling Weightless

Hey guys welcome back to my blog! Have you ever wondered just how people know how to move in zero gravity? Maybe not... you may think that its simple and people learn on the spot! Well in fact that isn't quite true! There is a job titled Parabolic Expert in which people train other people on how to maneuver in zero-gravity!




 These men train astronauts and take people on flights and help then preform awesome tricks while in zero-gravity! This sounds like an awesome job being in zero-gravity all day teaching other people how to do back flips while they are 30,000 feet above the ground! This job even pays well, the minimum educational degree needed is a bachelor's degree! The pay for a job like this ranges from $30,00-$120,00 which is pretty awesome! The payment isn't quite what attracts me though. The idea of being able to be in zero-gravity all day long and being weightless just sounds so amazing! I would hate to be stuck in a job sitting at a desk all day. Why not just go up into a plane and fly around doing back flips and all other kinds of neat tricks!

Hey guys I'm back! I apologize for not uploading for the past couple of weeks! But I've been thinking lately about space like things... Anyways have you ever wondered whats beyond our planet? Like does E.T and other aliens really exist?  I don't really know what happens and I don't really understand all this stars and astronomic observations. I've always been fond of Astrology and I catch myself staring at the night sky. Stars and planets are just so fascinating. One of my favorite quotes from one of the best books is "My thoughts are stars, I cannot fathom these constellations." It just sounds so deep and interesting. I found out recently that comparing our own Sun to others stars makes our huge sun just a dwarf star. It's insane how another star could be possibly thousands times the mass of ours. There are things called Nebula's and not a lot of people understand the definition. It's actually a huge gas cloud filled with many luminous stars. Stars has this sort of process called Nuclear fusion in which their temperature could reach to about 18 million degrees Fahrenheit. As I've delved deeper into what it takes to become an astronomer I've found many facts about their careers. For instance an astronomer  makes around $100,00 for an average salary. What they do is to search and analyze celestial phenomena.

They are required to have a PHD in physics and/or astronomy and have to go to grad school for about four to eight years. If you are interested in become an astronomer like I am I encourage you to go out and do some research! I've done mine and I can say with 100% confidence that this is something that could be a future occupation for me. So I guess the only fitting end to this post is "TOO INFINITY AND BEYOND!!!!" (from my favorite Disney movie).

Introduction to my blog

Hello, welcome to my blog! My name is Vincent Lam and I am a current AP  Language student at Westmont high school. Throughout this blog I will be exploring different possibilities on what my future occupation may be. Each blog will cover a different type of occupation that I am interested in. I hope that you may also find a future job that you may be interested by reading my findings when i research each of these jobs. I will be posting every other Friday (unless conditions change). Hope to see in two weeks!
