Radio and Television broadcasters
Television and Radio broadcasters are the persons who talk to audiences over the airwaves, providing information, and entertainment. Broadcasters read or broadcast news, weather, commercials, sports and station announcements. In addition, they frequently act as Performers. However, there are several differences between Television and Radio broadcasters. Radio broadcasters handle a variety of assignments: playing music, reading, logging the meters, etc. Television broadcasters, when on air, announce or talk only.
Broadcasters have to have the abilities to learn and understand procedures, use words to present information and ideas clearly, speak extemporaneously. Beside these important abilities, they should have other abilities such as developing a good vocabulary, using clear pronunciation, working accurately with detail, working well with people, working under pressure of deadlines and a tight schedule and so on. Moreover, they have to have interest in coordinating data and recourses and performing for or entertaining others.
Broadcasters work usually indoors, in studio and control or announce rooms. Many radio stations and all television stations operate seven days and seven nights a week, but night and weekend shifts often go to beginners. Long hours and overtime may be required which may be stressful. Researching could be mundane at times. Here are some related occupations: Actors, Broadcast Technicians, Meteorologists, and Public Relations Workers, and related majors or programs: Dramatic Arts, English and Literature, Journalism, Music, Speech.

Job availability for any occupation can change with national and global economics, unexpected political events and natural disasters. Current events can change demand for jobs quickly.

Road Trip Nation
When he was thirteen years old, the first Sputnik satellite was launched. Therefore, Garfield was encouraged to excel in science and math, a pursuit that eventually led to a job with the moon-landing project. However, when he was working on the project, he found out that he interested in people more than in science, so he decided he wanted to study about human behavior.
The work he is most proud of is the very first volunteer program he initiated as a new faculty member at the Shanti project to work with seriously old people who always talk about the same two things: people they've loved and work they're proud of.
What I have learned from this video is that if you want to know what to do, you have to know who you are. You need to think about what you want to be doing, what would be doing, what would be fun and what would be gratified.
I will utilize this lesson for searching my future job because no one knows me, what I want, what I like to do or to be than I do.
