micro skills

My Micro Skills results was very interesting to me because there were occupations that appealed to me while others I'm not really interested in. The reason why those occupations doesn't appeal to me is because I don't have the skills required in order to perform that career properly or those skills are my weaknesses. Also, the related majors/programs for those occupations are not my main focus right now, instead I am taking into a different route towards my goal.
One of the occupations of interest is an biologist. Since I love biology and its my favorite subject, I think this occupation suits me. Biologists study about the function, anatomy, development, and other basic principles of plants and animals life. They do research after they have gather enough information and then work in the laboratory to come to an conclusion of their studies. This career is mainly about life sciences and probably some mathematics/statistics skills. Anyone who is interested in science would be perfect or could even consider for this career. I know that I have to take and learn many of the life science courses in preparation on this type of field to be accomplished. That's why I think biology will most likely be my major and biology is considered a good major to take in future preparation for medical, dental, pharmacy, veterinary school, and medical technology programs.
The second occupation of interest is an animal trainer. Animal trainer teach animals to follow commands, compete in shows, perform for audiences. They also feed, exercise, and give extreme care to the animals they train. This career would be perfect for people who enjoys working with animals and loves interacting with them. I learned animal trainers work both outdoors and indoors, requires physical activities such as walking, running, stooping, and reaching, and make judgments about an animal's behavior. There are some risks/dangers involved such as being scratched, kicked, or bitten by animals. In order to be in this occupation, you need to have knowledge of the animal you are working with as part of the important skills required. People who are animal trainers today know the different ways of how the animal behaves through the study of animal biology along with animal psychology.
Overall, these two occupations mainly focus on the knowledge and skills in science. Like I said before, I love science and will maybe consider the two some time in the future.
