The carrier that I have chosen is blacksmithing. Blacksmiths go back for centuries and used to be a very important to the old timed civilizations. But now most blacksmiths only work with making fences, gates, benches, railings, and light fixtures. There are some who make decorative pieces, some work with making replicas, or reproductions of historical pieces like swords and medieval armor. And other blacksmiths of today work as sculptors, making one-of-a-kind artwork.
I picked this job because it appeals to my interest on a high level. I like working with metal and forming things out of it. I have had experiences with it and I enjoy doing it. A few years ago I got into this and looked at it more as if it were a hobby. I had got into studying to metals, there melting point, and other factors like their chemical compounds. I also studied how metal could be shaped by only using a hammer and another piece of metal. The job calls for many different hammers for the variety of jobs.
There is no required education level to work as a blacksmith. But most employers will require at least a high school diploma. There are courses that will help out in the future that you can to better yourself in the field of carrier. Such as math, physics, chemistry, art, and other classes like shop, or welding. Most education of the skill is learned by older blacksmiths passing their information down to the next generation.
There are 3 levels to the job apprentice/helper, blacksmith, and forge owner. The first level(apprentice/helper) is a job position of carrying metal to the blacksmith, feeding coal, and cleaning up. Level 2 (blacksmith) is a position were you work under a senior blacksmith, but still having some freedom of making your own pieces, this job also requires an eye for design or a good imagination. Because with out an inside image there wont be any sort of outside image being created. The third level of the job(forge owner) can be reached by owning your own shop. This position consist of running and taking responsibilities for the entire shop.
The pay of this carrier is unpredictable, there is no estimated rate to which a blacksmith may profit. The sales all depend on three things reputation, skill, finished products. With out the reputation nobody will know that you have the business. With out the skill you wont be able to make pieces to sell, and with out having a nice looking finished product then the piece may not sell at all and the time and money put into the piece may just be a complete waste.

i forgot to screen shot it, but there is no requirers education, a black smith only needs to know how to work with his materials and tools. he may also need to know how to run a buisness
