Arts, Audio/Video Technology and Communications

A couple of weeks ago in Career Exploration, we worked on the cluster Arts, Audio/Video Technology and Communications. The two careers I chose from this cluster were Photographers and Curators. Photographers are pretty self-explanitory. They photograph people, landscapes, merchandise, and other subjects using digital and film cameras and equipment. People in this occupation should have artistic and realistic interests. In addition, no education is required for this career, however, a lot of experience and training would be very helpful in your success. The annual salary for this career is approximately $29,000. Curators are a little less obvious. The administer collections, such as artwork, collectibles, historic times, or scientific specimens of museums or other institutions. They may also conduct instructional research or public service activities. People pursuing in this career should be interested in enterprising and investigative aspects. The education required for this job is a Bachelor's, Doctoral, or Master's, depending on the person. People with this occupation make about $43,000 annually.
