Career of the Day: Police OfficerThere are few roles in our society that stand for honor and justice as much as police officers. Police officers have a responsibility to uphold the laws that are in place to maintain order in the nation, state, and their local jurisdiction, even when they personally disagree with some of the laws or when they personally know people who are in violation of the laws. It is always a preference to resolve disputes without resorting to summons or arrests, but police officers have the training to take action when necessary. Their training takes place at a police academy, which lasts at least six months and also involves an apprenticeship.

PCHS CAREER OF THE DAY - ARMY

1/17/2017

Career of the Day: Army SoldierPerhaps the most ubiquitous symbol of our national defense is that of an army soldier fighting for our liberty on the front lines of a war. It is no surprise that while physical combat is necessary at times, most of our army involves many more nuanced techniques than what we saw from GI Joe. To serve in the army, you need to be physically fit, conscious of your role as part of a greater plan and as a member of a team, and of course, be committed to your country. The Army provides many valuable training and college scholarship opportunities, and is an admirable way to spend one's career.

There are two main types of social workers: those who primarily work with clients on a case load, and those who work in advocacy on the large scale. Macro-level social workers advise politicians to ensure that policies and legislation is worded in such a way as to ensure the well-being of otherwise marginalized populations. Micro-level social workers manage services for clients who are in need, and frequently provide counseling services to those clients. Their work is often with goals to help their clients develop prosocial and self-care skills. Because clients frequently start receiving services when times are difficult, it takes great patience and fortitude for social workers to stay committed and energetic.
