Job Description Lawyers represent and defend criminal and civil
litigation. They also write legal documents and manage
clients on legal transactions. This job interests me
because I would want to work with the law and
defending it. Also, my parents always used to tell me I
was a natural lawyer because I never leave things
unresolved, I am super curious, and always have a
response to everything. I additionally am a problem
solver, I hate when people fight and normally try to end
it by finding the best solution.

private and corporate legal offices.
Job Characteristics Continued
Working hours- Lawyers work full time, and many work long hours.
Aptitudes and abilities- Lawyers need to have problem solving
abilities, writing skills, the ability to symptomatically read, and
research skills.
Education and training- While no particular field of study is required
for applying to law school, aspiring lawyers should hone their
reading, speaking and argumentation skills while in college.
Courses in political science and English may help students advance
these skills and provide a medium for presenting facts and arguing
positions. After college, lawyers must attend 3 years of law school.
Job Characteristics Continued
Salary and Benefits- The average income of lawyers in 2012 was
$113,530. Some of the benefits lawyers receive are the Profit-
Sharing 401(k) Plan, Judicial Clerk's Allowance, Moving Expenses, Bar

need to move across the country or out of country in
order to peruse their jobs. Lawyers could stay in their
hometown or move to a major city.
Job Description
Neuroscientists study the development and function of the
nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and
nerve cells throughout the body. They could also specialize
in one part of the nervous system. I’d consider being a
neuroscientist because I’m interested in the brain and its
functions. I want to learn how our eyes can get tricked, all the
illusions, and everything like that. I don’t want to like cut
open a brain and touch it; I just like to learn more about the
brain like the x-rays and things involving machines.
Job Characteristics Values- The values of neuroscience are curiosity of how the
brain, or more broadly the nervous system. Tasks and responsibilities- Neuroscientists typically perform
research in offices or laboratories. Some work in clinics and hospitals to evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients. Neuroscientists begin experiments by preparing tissue and cell samples. They make use of antibodies, dyes, and gene probes to identify different components of the nervous system. Tools and equipment used to monitor brain and nerve activity include magnetic resonance imagers and microelectrodes. Some use computers to create nervous system models, while others study the simplified nervous system of insects to better isolate certain behaviors.
Job Characteristics Continued
Working with data/ people/ things- Neuroscience uses data, people, and things in their jobs. They use data by using computers and technology to analyze data, research, and use machines to scan the brain. They use people to study. Lastly, neuroscientists use things to test the brain and nervous system.
Working environment- Professionals in neuroscience can also expect to spend significant amounts of time working in a laboratory setting. A neuroscience job requires a great deal of time to be spent on research efforts that examine chemicals, cells, and pathogens. Working productively in a laboratory is an essential duty of many neuroscientists.
Job Characteristics Continued Pt. 2
Working hours- The average neuroscientist works 50 hours a week, and more at home but that also depends on the type of neuroscience you go into.
Aptitudes and abilities- Able to co-operate effectively with other members of a multidisciplinary team, excellent writing skills and experience of report writing, good spoken communication skills, able to express complex ideas or in dealing with very worried patients who have recently been diagnosed with a serious disease, good organizational skills with ability to meet deadlines and manage priorities across multiple projects, good publication record for research posts, able to analyze data.
Job Characteristics Continued Pt. 3
Education and training- Neuroscientists are expected to
complete a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree program,
according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The BLS
further stated that those pursing clinical work must earn a
Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree. Some schools offer a
combined Ph.D. /M.D. program, which increases a
neuroscientist's career opportunities. In order to treat
patients, neuroscientists with an M.D. must also participate
in a medical residency and pass the United States Medical
Licensing Examination.
Job Characteristics Continued Pt. 4
Salary and benefits- The salaries for students majoring in
Neuroscience will vary dramatically, depending on their
career path. Those who pursue advanced academic or
health profession degrees can earn $60,000 to well over
$150,000 per year. The Society for Neuroscience supports
full parity for mental health and substance abuse services in
both private and public insurance coverage. Mental health
treatments are more effective than ever, and equal
coverage offers a just and affordable way to help all people
lead more productive and rewarding lives.
Job Characteristics Continued Pt. 5
Career outlook- The BLS projected job growth of 13%
between 2012 and 2022 for neuroscience careers.
International career outlook- Government agencies,
universities, industry, hospitals, and medical centers
can all be potential settings for neuroscience jobs.
Lifestyle

depends of which branch of neuroscience you go into.
Some branches you may lead an average life, and
others you may be more.
Location
You'll likely be in one city for grad school, another for
your post-doc, and yet another when you finally land
a permanent position when you go into neuroscience.
