A career is what you will do when you grow up and there are a lot to

choose from! Indiana needs people for all kinds of careers. Every career is different, but they’re all important! You should pick a career you enjoy. Brainstorm what you like to do and what you’re good at.

To get a good career, you need to have the right qualifications. Being qualified means having all the right skills to do the job. To be qualified for most jobs, you need to go to college to get a certificate or degree.

C A R E E R R E A D Y

Careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)

plan, manage, research and provide scientific services. They work in offices, laboratories and even outside! Careers in this field require a lot of math and science.

One popular career in STEM is engineering. Most engineers go to college to earn a bachelor’s degree (four years) or master’s

degree (bachelor’s degree plus two years). Engineers use technology to create new products or fix problems. There are many types of engineers, such as electrical, mechanical and civil. Electrical engineers work with electrical equipment like motors and radars. Mechanical engineers work with machines and engines. Civil engineers work with roads, bridges and buildings.

Education & Training

How many careers can you think of that use math?

ARTHUR is in 4th grade at Deerfield Elementary school. He wants to be a paleontologist when he grows up. They study the history of life on earth and look at fossils. Can you guess his favorite class? It’s science!

Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics

Information Technology

Careers in education and training prepare students for their futures. This

includes teaching, planning and training others. People who work in this field must know about all of the subjects they teach. From aviation (flying aircrafts) to zoology (the study of animals), people who work in this field teach and train us on almost every topic imaginable!

Do you like helping people? A career in education and training might be for you! The most common career in this

field is a teacher. Teachers usually go to college for four years and earn a bachelor’s degree. But, some people in this field earn an associate degree (two years) or a master’s degree (bachelor’s degree plus two years). Teachers teach students of all ages—even college!

If you were a teacher, what subject would you teach?

Careers in information technology (IT) use computers and other

technology to make new data and programs. People working in IT make life easier for us by creating new technology and programs to help us go places, talk to people and even cook dinner! When people think of IT, they usually think of computers and the Internet. If you want a job in this field, you should take a lot of math and computer classes.

Have you ever used an app or played a game on a phone or tablet? Software developers create, update and test computer programs and applications to make sure they work. They usually go to college for four years and earn a bachelor’s degree. Web developers go to college for two years to earn an associate degree. They create and update websites.

ASHLEY is in 4th grade at Lakeside Elementary school. She wants to be an elementary school teacher when she grows up. She wants to teach kindergarten. Kindergarten teachers earn a bachelor's degree.

Hey Parents!It’s never too early—or too late—to start talking about careers with

your child. Ask your child what his or her dreams and goals are. Brainstorm together subjects your child excels at, his or her interests, and what careers he or she might like. Check out the five career clusters in this section of Learn More for ideas.

Every career uses math in some way, and the fastest-growing, highest-paying jobs rely heavily on math and critical thinking skills. Don’t reinforce the myth that math is hard: teach your child that math is all around us! Talk about sports scores, money and measuring as fun and important ways we use math every day. For more career ideas and tips, visit LearnMoreIndiana.org/career.

Manufacturing

Exploring You!

Careers in health science are all about helping living things get and stay

healthy. Jobs in health science are expected to grow by more than 20% by 2022. That’s a lot of jobs! People who work in this field study a lot of science and math.

One of the most popular jobs in health science is a registered nurse. They go to college for four years to earn a bachelor’s degree. They help take care of patients and do things like draw blood and administer medicine. Doctors go to college for at least eight years! There are a lot of other jobs

in this field, like researchers, dentists and veterinarians. Some people who work in this field pick a specialty to work with, like pediatrics (children) or surgeons (people who operate on patients).

How many health science careers can you think of?

Careers in manufacturing turn raw materials (like wood and oil) into final

products for people to buy and use. People who work in manufacturing must plan, build and check the products they make, and they usually work in a factory or mill. Many factories are high-tech and use things like robots to create and build products.

Because factories are usually high-tech, people in this field need a math and science background. Machinists usually go to school for one year to earn a certificate or for two years to earn an associate

degree. Machinists set up and run computers and machines that help make products.

In Indiana, more than 500,000 people work in manufacturing. That’s more than half a million people!

If you could make any product, what would it be?

F inancial aid is money you get for college. Financial aid can come from the government, the college you will attend,

or from another source like a community group. Indiana provides over $300 million to students for college each year! There are three kinds of financial aid.

Grant: A grant is free money for college! You will never have to pay it back. Grants usually come from the government or the college you’ll attend. Grants are usually awarded based on financial need.

Scholarship: Just like a grant, scholarships are free money for college! Usually, scholarships are awarded based on merit, or a worthy quality. You can get scholarships for earning good grades, participating in certain activities (like volunteering, art or sports) or having certain characteristics. You might get it if you are the first in your family to go to college, if you are a minority, or if you are going into a specific career field.

Loan: Loans have to be paid back, plus interest. You want to avoid taking out a lot of loans because you will have to pay back a lot more than you borrowed.

What is Financial Aid

DARIUS is in his third year of college. He has a scholarship from Indiana called the 21st Century Scholarship that is helping him pay for college. His advice to students is to work hard now! It’ll pay off later.

Working Hard = Free Money?!

Would you work harder if it got you $10? What about $1000? Or more? Once you’re in high school, working hard can earn you scholarships! You don’t have to get straight A’s to get scholarships, but you do have to work hard every single day. Colleges want to see you are dedicated and have perseverance. Perseverance means applying yourself even when it is difficult.

Being a good student and working hard means knowing when to ask for help. Maybe your homework doesn’t make sense. Maybe something outside of school is making

it difficult for you to pay attention. It’s always OK to ask for help! You can talk to your teacher, your parents or a school counselor.

How will you make sure you are working hard in school every day?
