“What you’re supposed to do when you don’t like a thing is change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it. Don’t complain.” — Maya Angelou Many of us have mixed feelings about the changes that have occurred over the last few weeks How are you feeling about these changes? Are you feeling nervous, worried, unsure of how you feel ? When you are having negative thoughts and feelings, what can you do to reframe those thoughts to keep a positive attitude? How are you taking care of your mental health? I'll be posting some self-care tips and suggestions under the Anxiety tab this week. O*NET Online
www.onetonline.org/ This resource is a one stop shop for research on a particular career. Put the name of your career into the search field (the magnifying glass) in the upper right hand corner and press enter. This will give you a list of careers or similar careers to the one you are researching. Click on the name of the career, and all the information you need will be available for your report. Occupational Outlook Handbook www.bls.gov/ooh/ The Occupational Outlook Handbook will allow you to research the median or average pay for 2018, entry-level education you need to enter the job, any on-the-job training you need, number of new jobs, and whether or not this career area is expected to grow. Information about the whether or not a career is going to grow is important. If the number of jobs in a certain career field decreases or is smaller, we can predict that it may be harder to get a job in this career field when we are looking. If the number increases, we can predict that we will have an easier time finding a job in this career field. U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics www.bls.gov/k12/home.htm Click on Student Resources. Check out the STEM Occupations especially if you are interested in a career in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math. You can also use some of the resources under Career Exploration especially if you are having trouble coming up with an occupation that you would like to research. There are also several videos that you can check out to learn more about different careers. Career One-Stop www.careeronestop.org/ Use the career exploration tab to find more about careers. We also have a local Career One-Stop at the Trott Center in Niagara Falls. Please make sure that you cite in your paper where you found the information about your career. I'll post more information about how to cite later this week. Ethics homework for the Week of March 16, 2020
