#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.
