=6. Holland Code Career Test=

A. For my first test my results said that I am a doer which includes a firefighter, airline pilot, mechanical engineer, forester, and building contractor. My primary interest is Realistic which means I like hands on work. This group prefers jobs that are mostly by themselves working alone. Doers like to work with there physical or mechanical skills.

B. I am Introvert or an Extravert for the first category which means I don't know how to measure my energy. I am a sensor person meaning that I process info in a concrete/realistic way. Another trait is using knowledge from past experiences. For my next deal I am a thinker rather than a feeler person. This category believes that every person has a responsibility to take care of him or herself. For my last category I am a Judger and Perceiver. Judgers keep organized and plan ahead, resist distractions, and stay focused on their goals. Perceivers like to have a carefree attitude towards life and would rather be flexible than structured. With my personality types I am ESTJ which means that I am traditional and like to take charge of projects and don't like clutter.\

C. When I took the test for the picture test I got the same results as A which told me that I was a doer. My highest theme was building and under this profession is different Agriculture jobs that relate to me.

=10. Employment Skills Survey=

=12. ASVAB Occufind= 1. My first occupation is Agricultural Technicians and facts about it are that 75% of them go to college for four years or more when engaging in this job. The second thing about them is that they record data relating to experimentation, research, or animal care. The last thing about them is that they measure or weigh ingredients used in lab experiments. 2. My second one is farm-workers and labors and it talks about repairing farm vehicles and operating them. Another thing about the job is that you have to know crop rotations and and chemical usages. It also says you need high school diploma or less which is false because if you are to get a job doing this you are going to need additional education if you are to be hired. Also you need additional education for knowing farm and mechanical education you would never get in high school. 3. My last one is farm equipment mechanics so basically your talking about RDO or Pape. Half of the people in this job have additional high school training. People in this job dismantle, analyze, and repair mechanical parts. They also have to test machinery and make sure it is working and decent amount of time have to drive out to a farm to repair it.

=Career Report= 1.The Career that I would like to pursue is farming. I am pretty sure of my choice and have been for quite a while now. 2. On career zone it said a farmers interests is Realistic and that what all of my latest surveys have told which shows similarity. Since I have grow up on one and have been working on one for some time now it is pretty easy to know what the job entails and how it is. However there is still a lot more to learn which will happen in time but I am not dumbfounded trying to figure out what career I'm going to be doing. I kind of know already how the job lifestyle pans out with setting your own hours and having to manage everything on your own. I will be working with a couple other people most likely but it will be mainly independent. There is a decent amount of management that it will entail with all of the different chemicals, seed, insurance, etc. For education I will probably go to four year college maybe five but not too sure. 3. I like to be out in the field and in an independent job style. Driving the machinery and harvesting is always nice while knowing your making a difference. I enjoy the lifestyle. 4. Well, farmers usually farm ground so that entails seeding, tilling, spraying, fertilizing, rod weeding, sweeping, packing, harvesting, ect. You also have to manage costs and expenses which there is a ton of like I mentioned before. 5. I already have prepared by being out in the field and learning but I can also prepare furthermore by taking another year of college. Right now I can't do much with all of these required classes on health and stuff. Most of the classes adapted to farming I will be taking in college. Other than education I still need more experience with crop rotations but mechanically I know how to operate nearly all of the machinery. 6. The job outlook is a set of statistics that shows the job you have chosen and shows the amount of people in the occupation and the growth or decline in that job. Farming in the US has actually declined by two percent in the last years due to farms getting bigger and alos the average age of farmer in the US is above 60 years old.
 * What education/training will you need to complete in order to prepare yourself for the occupation?
 * Where will you be able to get this education/training?
 * For training and education I will most likely need a four year degree possibly five. I will take a variety of classes on probably modern technology with farming and management. For training I will need to spend more time out in the field learning about different practices/techniques.
 * I can get this training from a four year college such as WSU or OSU depending on which one I lean towards. I can get this training from my family too for we live on a farm.
