Please read the article below carefully. <br>2. Use the questions at the very end of the article to discuss with your child. <a href=\"#questions\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Click here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-1032f7804f47adba60b4c7953c1edddb\" style=\"background-color:#e6155d\">Let\u2019s be real: Some people just want a job they can do with their hands. Careers in the Realistic RIASEC interest theme are the perfect fit.&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do you enjoy making things or taking items apart? Do you like animals or plants? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If so, an occupation that aligns with the Realistic RIASEC theme might just align perfectly with your strengths, interests, and values<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-1b50fce2747f875c73bb1c578ab1c6d0\" style=\"background-color:#e6155d\"><strong>How do you know if you would enjoy a realistic career?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Start by asking yourself some questions: Are you handy with tools? Are you good at figuring out what\u2019s wrong with things\u2014like bicycles or game consoles\u2014and then fixing them? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People with realistic interests and values tend to prefer scientific or mechanical work over social or aesthetic work. If you can relate, you probably like working with plants, animals, tools, machinery, or wood. In essence, realistic people tend to like working with THINGS. They often love being outdoors, and they don\u2019t mind working on projects independently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-2f3ae78a22d7618475f6134eabca2ce8\" style=\"background-color:#e6155d\"><strong>What fields offer realistic jobs?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly <em>every<\/em> field has jobs in the Realistic RIASEC theme. There are realistic jobs in construction, medicine, sustainable energy, and more. If you think you\u2019d like to work with animals, maybe you\u2019d enjoy being an animal trainer or a veterinary assistant. If you like working with tools, maybe you\u2019d like to be a bicycle repairer, a carpenter, a plumber, or a heating and air-conditioning installer. If those don\u2019t sound quite up your alley, there\u2019s a slew of other realistic options out there. Fish and game wardens, land surveyors, commercial fishermen and crabbers, farm workers, truck drivers, airline pilots, ambulance drivers, X-ray technologists, solar energy systems engineers, automotive engineers, barbers, manicurists, cooks, and many more occupations fall into the Realistic RIASEC theme<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-f5e06b50b15f94087d4c84882fd9eff9\" style=\"background-color:#e6155d\"><strong>Are there ways to prepare for these careers now?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You bet! In fact, you might already be developing the skills you\u2019ll need\u2014just for fun. For example, maybe you enjoy building with plastic construction blocks, drawing diagrams of vehicles, or making things with your hands. But there\u2019s more you can do to prepare. If jobs in the Realistic RIASEC theme <strong>appeal<\/strong> to you, maybe try taking apart an old toaster, television, or mobile phone that no one is using to see how the parts fit together (after asking an adult, of course). To avoid a shocking experience, be sure to first disconnect it from its power source!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing you can do is make connections with people who are already working in the industry that interests you. Ask them about their jobs and for any advice they can offer to help you build up your skills\u2014whatever those may be. Who better to tell you what to expect?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"questions\" class=\"wp-block-group has-white-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-aab201f76f1563f3b9f7d3b0ad1d752f is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-background\" style=\"background-color:#032c3e;font-size:16px\"><strong>Questions for you to ask your child:<\/strong><br> 1.
