Part Two Exploring Career Options
102
People with careers in the arts, audio/
video technology, and communications
include photographers, printers, painters,
sculptors, singers, and dancers. Others are
agents, cartoonists, stage managers, and
lighting directors.
You notice the results of work done in
the communications field every day. You see
newspapers, magazines, books, photographs,
and movies. You hear music, radio, and movie
sound effects. People in these careers work for
publishers, radio and television stations, movie
studios, and telephone companies.
Many careers in this cluster are
rewarding, creative, and challenging.
They are constantly changing, too, because
of technological advances. Satellites and
computers have led the way for these
advances. The creative aspects of this clus-
ter are rapidly merging with the techno-
logical aspects.
Careers in this area require the abil-
ity to communicate effectively in both
oral and written form. The training and
education needed are as varied as the
careers themselves. Some people have
special talents and become instant suc-
cesses. However, most people spend
years training to gain the skills and
knowledge needed.
