Are you comfortable with numbers? Do you see art in finances? With a
career in accounting, you have the opportunity to maximize the profit margin of
your clients or business through maintaining accurate financial records and
appropriately assigning incoming and outgoing funds. Even though the math in

with numbers, facts, and complying with the rule of law.

#PHSfit Career of the Day: Conservationist
A conservation scientist studies elements of the ecosystem in order to
manage its development, to limit erosion of natural resources, and to support
all types of life on earth. They mostly work outside, collecting samples to be
analyzed, observing growth and animal behavior, with a clear objective to limit
human beings' impact on the world around us. The scientists often work with
lobbyist organizations to advocate for their causes, which are at times in
contrast with other corporate or governmental interests. If this career is
interesting to you, you will undoubtedly enjoy AP Environmental science and
explore majors like ecology and biology.

#PHSfit Career of the Day: Child Care Worker
Across the nation, millions of parents entrust their
children to the judgment of child care workers at all times of day, so that
they can balance family and work responsibilities. Being a child care worker
requires a commitment to the successful development of the children you work
with, and can be incredibly gratifying if you can maintain your patience with a
clientele that has naturally not developed communication skills or their own
patience or perspective. At a minimum, you need at least a year of training and
supervised experience, and most states require accreditation or certification
to maintain a child care center, either for young children or for before and
after school.

#PHSfit Career of the Day: Art Educator
Art teachers are very important in the educational development of
students. In addition to inspiring budding artists at the middle and high
school level, art teachers are also incredibly valuable members of the
elementary school faculty. Art educators help students learn to understand
their world in visual terms and how to express themselves in nonverbal ways. In
order to be an art teacher, you will need to earn at least a bachelor's degree
in art education, which requires coursework in both visual art and education
pedagogy.

#PHSfit Career of the Day: Chemist
A career in chemistry requires a degree in a related science, and
usually involves many late hours working in the lab, conducting research into
advancements related to your objective. Whether you are developing cures for
diseases or analyzing the structure of existing compounds, chemists continue to
push our society's understanding the physical world around us and find
solutions to our problems. It is critical for an aspiring chemist to follow
rules and laws, because safety is of the highest priority, and if you don't
follow industry standards, your results will always be in question.

#PHSfit Career of the Day: Architect
Architects are visionaries, artists, and problem-solvers. They are
licensed to create the structures in which we live, work, learn, and play.
Because architects are responsible for the health, safety, and welfare of the
people who occupy the buildings they design, it's important for students to be
aware that with this career comes significant responsibility. While math and
science are important for a career in architecture, artistic and creative
thinking skills are equally, if not more highly, valued. Architects need to
have the ability to go from being artistic/creative to technical/logical and
everywhere in between.
