Realistic and enterprising as my third and fourth option

__**6A: Holland Code Career Test:**__
= =
 * According to the test, it said that I am more of a persuader then anything else. A persuader is a person who likes to influence others, although this is necessary during sports to cheer on teammates, I'm not much of a persuader any where also.

__**6B: Typefinder Personality Test:**__

 * Out of all the options for personalities, I thought the ENTP personality fit me the best. I choose this personality because I am often curious to comprehend people systems, and principles around me. I've always been curious of how certain machines work and how they do it, so I felt this personality would fit me well.

__**6C: Photo Career Quiz:**__

 * According to the picture quiz, I am persuader. A persuader is interested in leading, managing, and motivating other people. Unless we are talking about sports, I'm not much of a persuader/ motivator outside of sports. I tend to be more of a follower and like to be told what needs to be done, rather then me being the boss.
 * For the score summary, I scored high in building, persuading, and organizing. In thinking I scored moderate. he other two (creating and helping), I scored low. Some of these scores I agree with, but others I disagree with. Persuading, to me, doesn't seem to be one of my strong points. Also, I do like to be able to help people, if they need the assistance.

With this assessment, I scored 28 points in the auditory section, and 26 for both the visual and tactile sections of this assessment. I am best at learning by hearing about it. But, on the other hand, it seems that I am also a visual and tactical learner as well. With this being the case, it seems that I am able to use all three methods of learning, but auditory is the best.

=**__12. Career Report: Airline Pilot__**=


 * 1) A career that I have interest in is an airline or commercial pilot.
 * 2) This career would suit me because this job would be realistic, which is one of the qualities that came up several times during the assessments that were taken. Another skill or ability that came up often in the assessments was 'Conventional.' The third skill or ability that came up quite a bit was 'Investigative.' Also, in the Iseek Career Cluster Interest Assessment, one of the topics that was brought up was: " Transportation, Distribution, and Logistics"
 * While flying a plane, there is always use of instruments, equipment, and computers with those aspects in mind, the realistic skill comes in handy because realistic people like to work with technology and run equipment. Running equipment is something that I enjoy doing, and I am good with technology and computers. My second skill was conventional. Conventional means to have set procedures and to work with data. A pilot needs to go through a set of procedures prior, during, and after the flight. They also have to follow a procedure if an emergency occurs. For my last skill, I am investigative. I like to know how things work and and understand what they do, being a pilot this would be a good skill to have in order to know how an engine, technology, and computers work in a airplane.
 * During the Iseek Career Cluster Interest Assessment, one cluster that came up was "transportation, distribution, and logistics," which gives another reason why I am fit for this career. Also, many of the career assessments gave the option of "airline or commercial pilot," for the options I chose.
 * 1) Becoming an airline pilot excites me because I would be running equipment, learning how to use new technology, and flying around the world to see different place of the world. I've always liked running equipment. Learning how to use and what to do with new technology excites me because I've been interested in technology since I was a kid. Also, being able to fly myself around the world would be exciting because traveling has always been fun for me.
 * 2) Pilots often check the quality of the aircraft before flight for safety, ensure that the weight of the plane is below the weight limit, check flight plans, check weather around the area, ensure the plane has enough fuel for the flight and any emergencies that may occur during the flight like weather or complications at the airport, communicate with ATC (Air Traffic Control), manage engines, fuel consumption, and other gauges during flight, respond to weather and emergencies quickly but calmly, and navigate the aircraft with instruments.
 * 3) **__How to Prepare__**
 * 4) To prepare for this career, I will need to have a pilot's license, obtain 250 hours of flight experience, have good hearing and 20/20 vision with or without glasses, pass written exams on safe flight and navigation techniques, and demonstrate my flying abilities to FAA examiners.
 * 5) Most community colleges offer an associate degree, which is two years. Several universities offer a bachelor degree, which is four-years.
 * 6) There are many community colleges in Oregon that offer a pre-license training or associate degree. The associate degree will get me further to this career and is offered at the Portland Community College.
 * 7) __**Job Outlook**__
 * 8) From 2014 to 2024, the outlook for airline pilots, copilots, and flight is supposed to grow about 5%. It is projected that airlines will increase the average number of passengers by eliminating flights with low demand; thus, cancelling certain routes and lowering the need for pilots. Most jobs will arise from pilots retiring or leaving the industry. Smaller airlines will be easier to get a job at, but a bigger airline company will have a high competition for the job. Also, having military experience and higher flight hours will increase the chance of getting a job at a airline company.
 * 9) __**Median Earning**__
 * 10) $105,720 per year.
 * 11) __**Similar Occupations**__
 * 12) Air Traffic Controllers
 * 13) Aircraft and Avionics Equipment Mechanics and Technicians
 * 14) A Bus Driver (Oh joy ...)
