An oil and gas worker makes on average, 37,640 dollars per year, and 18.09 per hour. The typical tasks can vary widel depending on which part you work on, from repairing to working the machinery, the job is widely diverse. The noises of the machinery make the safety precautions extremely important, though they take large safety precautions, such as instructing the workers thoroughly, disallowing any untrained hands to take the field on, their average of nonfatal injuries during the work hours are much higher than anyone elses. There is no particular prerequisite that is out of the ordinary, but you must have a school eductation, even if it's below highschool deploma (but there will be a higher chance of you getting hired if you have a higher education than a high school diploma.).Good depth perception is also highly required, moving larger objects with machinery calls for someone able to see and know where to put it, it may as well save someones life, you must be detail oriented as well, for it is extremely important that you notice the little things and don't miss any life threatening mistakes around the oil and gas rig. Also, good hand eye coordination and interpersonal intellgance are required as well, you must be able to convey yourself to others and you must be able to be good with your hands, they will not hire clumsy people, it is of upmost importance that you have good coordination, it might depend on your life. Before you can even hit the field you must be vigerously trained for your work, so most workers will start out as a helper or aid for another until your skill sets advance, and in turn you will be slowly promoted to more advanced, higher paying jobs that will fit you and your broad skills. .

Being an actor/actress is a decent job with payment of $20.26 per hour. Most people in the acting business have irregular working hours such as: mornings, evenings, weekends, and week days. The percent chance of growth is 4%. Meaning that the rate of someone becoming an actor is below average. Sometimes actors even gain more popularity when they work on bigger projects. (fun fact)
To being with your acting career you have to have been in some sort of traing. There are universities and a theater arts program you can attend. Although, you do not need a degree to nail this job. Also, you need to have "special skills,' creativity, memorization, persistance, physical stamina, and reading and speaking skills.
Actors read off scripts, research character traits, memorize lines, and perform the role the way the director wants it. There are some faults to being in the acting industry. There are moment where you mess up a line and have to redo it or the director didn't care much for the secene. It's a lot of hard work that you'd have to be responsible for. Also with acting you're under a lot of stress and pressure. It's hard being able to land another movies or tv series.

One job you may not think about a lot is a Substance Abuse & Behavioral Disorder Counsler. This job is actually on the rise, and is growing faster than average at 27% outlook. So, what might you need for this job?
Well you will have to have some specialty skills. You will have to be patient, which may be very hard with uncooperative addicts. This also requires you to be very understanding and have speaking, interacting, and listening skills. To qualify you have to have a high school diploma or greater, there are degrees available. Now, about the training, like most other jobs you will need a moderate on the job training. People with this occupation work full time which can turn out to very stressful. Also, there is always a chance that you may be physically attacked by one of the patients.
Now that you know a little more about the job here is a little more information. The median pay per hour was 18.33

Did you know that less than fivepercent of the worlds population is in the armed forces? This is because the military is a very elite program that requires tremendous amounts of time and effort.
The milittary may seem different than your averae day job, but in many ways they are very similar, such as money. ther military is an excellent source of income if you stay in long enough. in some cases you can make upward of one hundred thousand dollars. Another similaritie would be the hours, they are about the same as your average day job, but hours may vary in some cases. Another case where they have similarites is promotions. in the military you get can promoted in some ways such as rank promotion, or location change. Also you will need at least a high school diploma or something equivilent to be elidgble for the military.
There are manys ways that the military is different as well. an example of this would be, this is the only place where you have to wear bulletproof vest, camo, boots and backpacks. Also this is preety much the only job where your main task is to defend your country with your gun.
In conclusion, the miliratry is an excellent career choice, and in my opinion it is the only place where while doing your job you can get shot at.

The automitive might look good, but 37,000 is not really that much in one year. To get into this position you do not need to have past experience. When you start you will learn something and do the for three weeks, anad then learn something new. Whenever you work somewhere for a large amount of time it is possible that you could get a raise. the automotive job sounds and looks good, but might not be too good after all.

The career I recieved for this project was Computer and Information Systems Managers. Computer and Information Systems Managers make around $55.67 per hour and about $115,780 per year. The lowest 10% of workers recieved $71,420 and the top 10% of workers earned more than $166,400. The amount of money you get depends alot on what kind of manager you are. Computer and Information Systems Managers have a generally safe job. They have no special dangers to worry about. More than 90% of Computer and Information Systems Managers work full time. In 2010 about 24% worked more than 50 hours per week. This job usually requires a bachelor's degree in a computer or informational science related field, which takes about 4 years to complete. It would also include courses in computer programming, software development, and math. Many of their organizations also require a graduate degree as well. Lastly a Master of Business Administration (MBA) is common in Computer and Information Systems Managers and it takes 2 years beyond the undergraduate level to complete. Job growth is slow because it is hard to find well qualified applicants.
