Sharon-I want to be a professional Dancer

When I grow up I want to be a professional Dancer to dance and perform for my enjoyment and for people's entertainment. I think I will be good at this job  because I started going to dance classes since I was 9 I think I should have started  at a younger age but I learn things quickly so that's not a problem for me.The type of dance styles I do are Tap, Ballet and Modern dance. I enjoy all the styles of dance but the hardest has to be Ballet.

As a dancer you have to start dancing when you are under the age of 10 or 11 because when you be a professional dancer you need to be quite young, between the age of 18-30.

As a dancer you would use movement to interpret music, tell stories and express emotion. You could dance for live performances for television film or music videos. Three things you need to be good at to be a dancer.

1. You need to go to dance classes.

2. You need to be flexible.

3. You need to be confident to perform in front of an audience.

The educational requirements you will need are a high level of training and ability. Many professional dancers train at a vocation dance school with an intensive three year degree or diploma or a one year postgraduate course.

Johanna - I want to be a Photographer

When I grow up I would like to be a photographer and run my own business. I love to try out and use different cameras, as well as travel and and see different places which I always capture with my camera.

My job would involve using different technology including cameras, computers and different programmes such as Photoshop. I would start off  as a photographer's assistant to gain experience and then become self-employed and start my own business.

To be a good photographer I would need to be able to meet deadlines, understand health and safety requirements, make people feel relaxed, be patient and concentrate and also have good eye sight.

Rachel-I want to be a Veterinary nurse

When I grow up I want to be a Veterinary nurse to help animals and owners who are worried and nervous. I think that I would do a good job being a veterinary nurse because I am good around animals and keeping them calm while there in treatment of surgery. When I leave school I would go to University and study for 5 to 7 years because I want to have my own business. I took a survey to help me see what I would be when I'am older.

In treatment and surgery you need to help the veterinary surgeons to make sure nothing goes wrong when in treatment. Sick and injured animals need to be treated so the veterinary nurses come and make sure that they are eating probably and getting enough sleep. If the animals are sick you give the animals drugs for safety.

The skills you would need for this job is keeping the animals calm and giving them injections and X-rays to see the damage of the animals body. If the animal needs fast and quick surgery I would be a fast and quick worker. If the animal is in too much pain would have to put to sleep through the surgery.

If the animal is in way too much pain we would have to put it to sleep for the best but we would have to break the sad news to the owner of the pet.

The education requirements are ABC Certificate for animal nursing assistants and central Qualifications (CQ)

In school I looked on a website call National Career Service finding about my dream job. Thank you for reading my blog.

When I grow up I want to be a Computer Games Developer and make loads of fun new games. I want to be a Games Developer because I love playing computer games and think I could make excellent new games. Before I knew I wanted to be a Games Developer, my dad suggested it to me when I pointed out what could make a game I play better.

I have an account on a website called "Splodder" that allows me to design a pixelated platform game, and even though I don't have to program anything, I have some in making the layout of a game. I believe this would help my chances of getting this job.

While we were at school we did a evaluation about our job interests and how well we are at it. I successfully found out that my job interest was secured but anything can happen. I think I will do well in this job because I am on my PC gaming non stop for 7 hours at least. Also I am an IT technician at school.

At my possible future job I will have to be checking spelling mistakes inside the game,also I will have to find glitches inside the game and bugs.

My education requirements will be that I will have to get a degree in game design.

After I retire from this job which will be in a year I will take all the money I have earned in that year and spend it on a Computer ,microphone ,Gaming chair and Headphones for my You Tube channel. Then I will earn money of my channel from ads.

I really wish I can get this job but nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it.
