Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of these professions would make you an integral part of a certain business? The picture may give you a clue but don't take it literally.

Answer: Dental assistant

A dental assistant works directly with a dentist, preparing a patient and assisting the dentist during a procedure. While there are some places where you can learn on the job, it has become a profession that mostly requires formal training and licensing.

2. People often try to find a career doing what they like to do most. Which of these would match the picture to something that many people like to do?

Answer: Culinary arts

For those who like to eat and/or cook, a degree in culinary arts can be the start of a rewarding career. You might even end up on television getting yelled at by a celebrity chef!

Answer: Electrician

Working with electricity can be hazardous so training and licensing are required in most countries. Not only must an electrician know the properties of electricity, he or she must be able to properly install wiring and devices so there will be no chance of property damage due to incorrect installation or faults in a system.

4. A job that used to often be learned by observing is now one that requires special training. Which of these would it be?

Answer: Automotive technology

Automotive technicians used to learn their trade from master mechanics and by working on their own vehicles. With the advent of computers, fuel injection and strict emissions controls it is now necessary to have formal training. Often, training is needed just to understand the output of the diagnostic computer connected to the vehicle, not to mention finding the problem part. Trade schools have single and multi-year programs and various certificates and degrees.

5. Another profession that has become so complex that specialized training is almost a necessity is one that some people originally planned by hand with a notebook. Which profession is it?

Answer: Web design

The World Wide Web has gone from simple text and graphic placement to complex animations, drop menus, music and much more. Some knowledge of graphic arts is required to produce attractive web pages as is the ability to write code that will let a page load fast and function as designed.

6. An exciting career could be yours if you learn how to operate the device in this photograph. What subject could you take in a trade school to help you?

Answer: Filmmaking

Whether using real film or digital media, a course in filmmaking teaches the student techniques and gives an understanding of the business.

7. One way to get into this field is to become a paraprofessional. Which career would that be?

Answer: Paralegal

A paralegal is not an officer of the court but someone who assists lawyers in their work. Though few jurisdictions require paralegals to be licensed, lawyers and law offices want people with enough knowledge to properly do work for which the firm could be held responsible.

8. This photo shows how it was done 30 years ago. It still is to an extent but technical schools can help someone prepare for a career in which field?

Answer: Game design

A story board is still basic to the overall concept of a video game but a game designer has to do more than just write code. Setting, storyline, target audience and budget all enter into play. Technical training can help advance one's career quicker.

Answer: Pharmacy technician

Pharmacy technicians assist pharmacists with filling prescriptions and may talk with patients, in person or on the telephone, about their medications. While most work in pharmacies, some technicians work for insurance companies or long-term care facilities. Professional certification is the norm in this field.

10. This field involves implementing principles rather than theory. From looking at the picture, which field do you think it could be?

Answer: Electrical engineering technology

Electrical engineering technology is the hands-on portion of electrical engineering. The practitioner deals with design and manufacturing but is more focused on application and implementation. It is a large field and there are technical and trade schools all over the world that deal with it.
