Artists make art to express what they are feeling or thinking. They use many methods—drawing, painting, sculpting. They use an assortment of materials—different kinds of paints, pencils, pens, plaster, clay, and even computers. Artists’ works may show objects, people, nature, or events.

Artists fall into one of several groups. Art directors design and look at material that is going to be in magazines, newspapers, and other printed or digital form. They decide which art to use.

Multi-media artists and animators create art on film, on video, or with computers. They draw by hand and use computers to create the large pictures that form movies, television programs, and computer games.

Fine artists create original art. They specialize in one or two art forms, such as painting, illustrating, sketching, sculpting, printmaking, and restoring. Many fine artists have a second job as a curator or teacher.

Craft artists create or reproduce hand-made objects for sale or to exhibit in galleries or museums. They may use many different materials and the same types of techniques as those used by fine artists.

Illustrators create pictures for books, magazines, and other publications. They also create pictures for products such as wrapping paper, stationery, greeting cards, and calendars. Illustrators work directly on a computer. Medical and scientific illustrators combine drawing skills with knowledge of biology or other sciences.

Cartoonists draw political, advertising, social, and sports cartoons. Some cartoonists work with others who create the idea or story and write the captions.

Sketch artists draw using pencil, charcoal, or pastels. Their work can be used by many different people for a wide range of purposes.

Sculptors make artwork using clay, glass, wire, fabric, plaster, wood, or stone. Some combine materials to make art.

Printmakers create printed images. They use wood, stone, or metal. Some also use computers to aid in their work.

Painting restorers restore damaged and faded paintings.

Many artists work in art studios. Others work in their homes. Some share studio space, where they also may show their work. Work areas have a lot of light and air. However, artists may be exposed to fumes from glue, paint, ink, and other materials and to dust from filings, splattered paint, or spilled fluids. They may get back pain or eyestrain, or feel tired.

Artists may work extra hours to meet deadlines. Self-employed artists can set their own hours. They spend a lot of time selling their art and building a reputation.

How do you get ready? Back to Top Back to Top

Though formal training is not strictly necessary for artists, it is good to take art courses in high school. It is hard to be successful without some training.

Many colleges and universities offer bachelor's or master's degree programs in fine arts. Independent schools of art and design offer associate and bachelor's degree programs in art. These educational programs include training in computer techniques. Knowing how to use a computer is very important.

Art directors usually start as entry-level artists in a firm and work their way up to being a director. First they must show their artistic and leadership abilities. Some may get a degree in art administration.

Medical illustrators need a bachelor's degree combining art and premedical courses. A master's degree in medical illustration is recommended, but only five schools in the United States offer this degree.

Those who want to teach art at public elementary or secondary schools must have a teaching certificate and a bachelor's degree.

Artists hired by a firm often start with routine tasks. They may also sell their work privately. The most successful artists constantly come up with new ideas.

Artists usually prepare a "portfolio"—a collection of samples of their work. This collection shows their talent and skill, and it helps them sell their art and get jobs.

How much does this job pay? Back to Top Back to Top

Earnings of salaried artists vary greatly among the different specialties. In 2006, the middle half of craft artists earned between $18,860 and $35,840, while the middle half of art directors earned between $49,480 and $94,920. The lowest 10 percent of craft artists earned less than $14,130, while the highest 10 percent of art directors earned more than $135,090 in 2006.

Earnings for self-employed artists also vary widely. Many do not make enough money just from selling their art.

How many jobs are there? Back to Top Back to Top

Artists held about 218,000 jobs in 2006. More than 6 out of 10 artists were self-employed.

What about the future? Back to Top Back to Top

Employment of artists is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations through the year 2016. However, there will be strong competition for most jobs. Many people with a lot of talent want to be artists. Many artists will need to have a second job in order to support themselves financially.

Coaches help people learn how to play a sport. They start by teaching them the basics. They show them the proper form and technique. Coaches have practice sessions to do drills and improve the athletes’ skills and stamina. They also manage the team during competition. They help motivate players to do their best.

Coaches also devise strategies to give their teams the best chance of winning. Coaches may evaluate or "scout" the opposing team prior to the competition.

Coaches may also select and store equipment and other supplies. Some coaches are full-time workers. Others just do it part time, like many high school teachers who also coach a school team.

Coaches get a lot of satisfaction from seeing kids succeed in their sport.

Coaches often work irregular work hours. Coaches often work Saturdays, Sundays, evenings, and holidays. Full-time coaches usually work more than 40 hours a week for several months during the sports season.

Coaches who work with outdoor sports have to deal with different types of weather. Coaches often travel to sporting events by bus or airplane.

How do you get ready? Back to Top Back to Top

Education and training requirements for coaches vary greatly by the level and type of sport. Some people start by coaching young kids on recreation teams. Then they might become high school coaches. To become a professional coach, it takes many years of coaching experience and a winning record in high school or college sports.

High school coaches who are mainly teachers must have a college degree. Most high schools prefer to hire a teacher who already works there and is willing to coach part time. Those who are not teachers must meet State requirements for certification in order to become a coach. Coaches need to take courses in exercise, sports science, and physical education.

Coaches must be able to talk to others clearly. They also must be leaders.

Doctors make people healthier. When people get sick, doctors figure out why. They give people medicine and other kinds of treatment. They also give advice about diet, exercise, and sleep.

Doctors use science to figure out what is making people sick. Doctors examine people, listen to them describe their health problems, and do tests to see what is wrong.

There are many kinds of doctors. Family and general practitioners are often the first doctors that people go to when they get sick. These doctors treat common problems. They also send patients to other doctors, called specialists. Specialists are experts in different types of health problems.

For example, internists focus on problems with internal organs. Pediatricians care for children and babies. Surgeons perform operations, like fixing broken bones or transplanting organs.

Most doctors are doctors of medicine (M.D.). They treat all kinds of diseases and injuries. Some doctors are doctors of osteopathic medicine (D.O.). They focus on muscles and bones.

Many doctors work long hours, at all times of day and night. Over one-third of physicians worked more than 60 hours a week in 2004. But doctors who work in small offices often have more time off. Doctors sometimes have to rush to the hospital to deal with emergencies.

How do you get ready? Back to Top Back to Top

Becoming a doctor requires more training than most other jobs. It usually takes at least 11 years to become a doctor: 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, and 3 years working in a hospital. For some specialties, doctors may have to work in a hospital for up to 8 years before they are trained.

To become a doctor, you should study biology, chemistry, physics, math, and English. It is not easy to get into medical school. You have to do very well in college and on medical school entrance tests.

Students spend most of the first 2 years of medical school in labs and classrooms. They take lots of science courses. They also learn to ask patients the right questions and how to examine them. They learn how to tell what sickness a patient has. In the last 2 years, students work with patients and doctors in hospitals and clinics. After medical school, doctors go to work in a hospital for a few years. They are called residents. To be a resident, you must take a test.

If you want to be a doctor, you should like to help people. You should be willing to study a lot.

You have to know how to talk to sick people. And you should be able to make decisions and handle emergencies.

How much does this job pay? Back to Top Back to Top

Of all jobs, being a doctor usually pays the most money. The Medical Group Management Association's Physician Compensation and Production Survey says that most doctors earned between $132,953 and $321,686 in 2005. How much they earned depended on how long they had been doctors and where they lived. It also depended on how many hours they worked and how good a doctor they were. And it depended on what kind of doctor they were—specialists usually made more than general practitioners.

How many jobs are there? Back to Top Back to Top

Physicians held about 633,000 jobs in 2006. More doctors are working as partners or in a group.

What about the future? Back to Top Back to Top

BLS expects the number of jobs for physicians to grow faster than the average for all occupations through the year 2016. This is partly because new machines and tools are letting doctors treat more health problems. And it is partly because people are living longer and need more healthcare.

Job opportunities for doctors are expected to be good, especially in rural and low-income areas. Some of these areas do not have enough doctors.

Do you know where your backyard ends and your neighbor's yard begins? Have you ever wondered how maps are created? These are questions for a surveyor. Surveyors measure and draw what the earth's surface looks like.

Surveyors do different types of work. Some measure land, air space, and water areas. They describe where a certain area of land is. They explain what it looks like, and how much is there. They put these facts in deeds, leases, and other legal documents. They also define air space for airports. In addition, they measure construction and mineral sites. Surveyors might lead survey parties (or surveying projects).

Geodetic surveyors measure large areas of the earth's surface. Geophysical prospecting surveyors mark sites for exploration below the earth's surface, usually related to petroleum. Marine or hydrographic surveyors study harbors, rivers, and other bodies of water.

Another type of worker is a surveying and mapping technician. Survey technicians help land surveyors when they go to a site. Survey technicians use special tools and collect facts. They might hold measuring tapes and chains. Survey technicians write notes. They also make sketches and enter the facts into computers. Some survey parties include helpers. They move bushes from sight lines, stick stakes into the ground, and carry equipment.

Another group of workers is cartographers. They collect facts about the earth's surface. They prepare maps of large areas. Their work is like land surveyors, but they cover larger areas. Some specialists, called photogrammetrists, prepare maps from aerial photographs. This group works mainly in offices. They seldom visit the sites they are mapping.

A new type of worker is called a geographic information specialist. This new occupational group started because of the new things that people can do with satellites and computers. Geographic information specialists combine the jobs of mapping scientists and surveyors.

Surveyors study legal records. They look for previous boundaries. They record the results of the survey. They make sure that their facts are correct. Afterwards, they draw what the area looks like. They make maps and write reports. Surveyors who set up boundaries must be licensed by the State in which they work.

Surveyors usually work an 8-hour day, 5 days a week. They spend a lot of their time outdoors. Sometimes they work longer hours during the summer, when the weather is good and the sun stays up longer.

Land surveyors and technicians often stand for long periods. They have to climb hills and walk long distances. Sometimes they have to stay overnight. They carry heavy packs of instruments and equipment. They face all types of weather when they are outside.

Surveyors also spend time in offices. While in an office, they have to make plans, read their facts, and prepare reports and maps. Most of the time, surveyors use computers to do math problems and draw maps. Cartographers spend almost all their time in offices.

How do you get ready? Back to Top Back to Top

To become a licensed surveyor, most people take surveying courses, pass tests, and get on-the-job training. However, as technology advances, a 4-year college degree is becoming more important for surveyors and related workers. Junior colleges, technical institutes, and vocational schools offer 1-, 2-, and 3-year programs in surveying and surveying technology.

High school students interested in surveying should take courses in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, drafting, mechanical drawing, and computer science.

Surveyors should be able to see objects, distances, sizes, and other forms in their minds. Their work has to be correct all the time, because mistakes can cost a lot of money. Surveyors have to be able to work with people and to work as part of a team. Learning to lead others is another important skill.

Members of a survey party must be in good physical shape to work outdoors and carry equipment. They need good eyesight and hearing to communicate by hand and voice signals.

The middle half of all surveyors earned between $35,720 and $63,990 in 2006. The lowest-paid 10 percent earned less than $26,690. The highest-paid 10 percent earned more than $79,910.

The middle half of all surveying and mapping technicians earned between $25,070 and $42,230 in 2006. The lowest-paid 10 percent earned less than $20,020 and the highest-paid 10 percent earned more than $53,310.

The middle half of all cartographers and photogrammetrists earned between $37,480 and $65,240 per year in 2006. The lowest-paid 10 percent earned less than $30,910 and the highest-paid 10 percent earned more than $80,520.

Surveyors, cartographers, photogrammetrists, and surveying technicians held about 148,000 jobs in 2006. Most of the jobs are those working for engineers, architects, and surveying firms. Some of the jobs are in Federal, State, and local government agencies. A small number of surveyors were self-employed.

What about the future? Back to Top Back to Top

The number of jobs for surveyors, cartographers, photogrammetrists, and surveying technicians is expected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations through the year 2016.

If you like animals and science, you might want to be a veterinarian. Veterinarians take care of sick and injured animals. Like doctors, they perform surgery and give medicine.

When an animal is sick, vets examine it to find out why. They look for clues in the way an animal looks, acts, and smells. For example, if a dog is walking in a strange way, that might be because it hurt its leg. Vets need to look carefully because animals can't say what is wrong.

Vets also give blood tests, x-rays, and other tests, looking for clues about an animal's illnesses. Then, vets decide what kind of medicine the animal needs.

Vets prevent problems by giving vaccinations and check-ups and fixing teeth. They also teach owners how to feed and train their animals.

Vets use special tools to perform surgeries. They fix broken bones, take out tumors, replace knees and hips, and more. Vets also treat and cover wounds. They need to be ready to see blood, organs, and bones.

Most vets treat small pets, including dogs, cats, and gerbils. But a few focus on large animals, such as sheep, cows, and horses. Large-animal vets usually drive to ranches and stables where their patients live. They check for infections in the animals and give advice to the animals' owners. Often, they help when the animals give birth.

A few vets work in zoos and aquariums. They care for zebras, sharks, and other wild creatures.

In addition to helping sick animals, vets can work as animal inspectors, checking to make sure that farm animals are healthy and that their living spaces are clean. Another option for vets is doing scientific research. They try to make new medicines.

Vets work in many different places. Vets who do research work in clean, dry laboratories. Most vets who take care of animals work in small clinics and hospitals. But some work in large hospitals with the most advanced equipment.

Many vets supervise technicians and assistants. And many own their own business and are their own boss.

Because animals can get sick at any time, vets often work long hours. Those in group practices may take turns working weekends or evenings and dealing with emergencies.

Many vets like their work because they can be with animals every day. But because some animals are scared or hurt, they sometimes try to bite, kick, or scratch their vets.

Vets who work with large animals often work outside in all kinds of weather. The work is sometimes dirty.

How do you get ready? Back to Top Back to Top

All veterinarians need to go to college. The first step for most vets is to get a bachelor's degree, which usually takes 4 years. They study biology, chemistry, physics, nutrition, and animal science. They also need to take math and English classes. Many people also get experience by working at animal hospitals or shelters.

The next step is to go to veterinary college for 4 more years. Getting into vet college is competitive. Students who get in usually have very good grades. After college, vets take a test and get a license.

In veterinary college, students learn more science. They also learn how to work with animals, do surgery, and do laboratory tests with microscopes and other equipment.

Many people also decide to learn more about a specific kind of illness or animal. They work with experienced vets during a 2-year internship. They might focus on surgery, dentistry, or wild animals, for example.

After finishing school, nearly all vets keep taking classes about new diseases and treatments.

Students who want to be vets can get ready now by taking science classes and learning about animals. They also need to take English classes and practice speaking and writing so that they will be able to explain things to animal owners.

The middle half of all vets earned between $56,450 and $94,880 in 2006. The lowest-paid 10 percent earned less than $43,530 a year. The highest-paid 10 percent earned more than $133,150.

There were about 62,000 veterinarian jobs in 2006. About 1 out of 5 vets was self-employed and owned his or her own business. Vets worked for clinics, hospitals, governments, research companies, universities, animal food companies, and zoos.

What about the future? Back to Top Back to Top

Vets are expected to have very good job opportunities. And the number of jobs for vets is expected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations between 2006 and 2016. That's because there will be more pets, especially cats, and because more people will be willing to pay for more medical care for their pets.

Jobs taking care of small animals are expected to increase quickly, especially jobs taking care of cats. There will be more jobs for vets who can have advanced training and can give special kinds of care, such as dentistry.

Jobs taking care of large animals, such as horses and cows, are growing more slowly. But there will still be lots of jobs for vets who can do that work.

I think Steve doesn't knows Bobo. Why I think this is because He only knows King . I think Steve is friends with people like James King and Osvaldo because he wants to be cool.


our friends influence us in many bad and good ways . Steve influenced by his friends to smoke. I have never been in a situation like Steve Harmon where i got into trouble because of the people you associate with. it important to choose your friends wisely because they might hit you on the head . i think Steve's lawyer, O'Brien, feels that Steve's choice of friends are bad .

I believe Steve is being negatively influenced by his friends to smoke and hurt people or I do not think he is like his friend . Look at your character chart. What Steve have in common with his friends is that they smoke. the differences are that Steve doesn't have a cold heart . Steve want to me like James King to get respect.

The character that am related to is called Raul and people think he is bandito . But he is a great artist. We have learned about 12 characters so far. What i like about that characters have incredible skills. I am a artist because it was all i could do when i came to this country.I hate the book because I am not in it.

We are different because he is Spanish and is from Mexico and people thing he is a bandito
He is like me because he try to help some girl with art. I don't like when people call him bandito.

There once was a bunny named buggy,
aka Michael sunny,
Not scary,
But harry,
He love being ready,
But doesn't really like doggy.

The Boy

Who come from quite a large family,
He's the oldest of five,
One of the coolest kids alive,
And he also spells quite remarkable.

There once was a hamster named Nelly,
His whisker was sticky and smelly,
This was not if you please,
Some strong new disease,
But an extraordinary liking for jelly!
