Jobs and Professions

As has been the case for many years, ​jobs, ​or forms of employment wherein employees
perform a service or duty in exchange for financial compensation, play a prominent role in
society. Furthermore, all jobs—even those of seemingly little significance—are important, as
they simply wouldn't exist if their specific responsibilities weren't of value to ​employers
(companies or persons that pay others for their work), ​customers ​(individuals who pay
money for a product or service), and the economy generally.

Teachers, ​or educational professionals tasked with helping ​students​ understand certain
subjects and topics, are especially crucial today. In short, teachers help their students to
become qualified for their future careers.

Doctors, ​or medical professionals who specialize in providing health-related assistance to


patients, are some of the most respected individuals in America and the world. It's the
responsibility of doctors to help those who feel less-than-stellar to determine the underlying
health issue(s) and recommend an effective ​treatment ​(or remedy to a disease, disorder, or
condition).

There are quite a few types of specialty doctors in America (besides MD, which simply
means "medical doctor"), all of whom can be referred to simply as "Doctor (Name)." Dentists
(mouth/teeth doctors), dermatologists (skin doctors), and psychiatrists (mental-health
doctors) are just a few examples of the many different types of doctors.

Additionally, ​nurses ​are medical professionals who help to administer doctor-ordered


treatments to patients.

Police officers ​are law enforcement professionals whose job it is to protect citizens, solve
crimes, and assure that rules and regulations are followed. Similarly, ​firefighters ​serve the
public by responding to fires (and other emergency situations) and using high-tech
equipment to extinguish these fires, while bringing any individuals who're in danger to safety.

Farmers ​maintain fields of crops (or vegetable/fruit plants) and/or collections of animals with
the intention of selling these products as food.

Chefs/cooks ​prepare meals in professional settings, including restaurants, cafeterias, and


other venues wherein food and drink are sold, for customers. Chefs are generally
experienced in cooking and managing kitchens.

Waiters ​bring menus, beverages, meals, and ultimately, the ​check ​(or a bill of the foods and
drinks purchased in a transaction) to tables in restaurants and other establishments that
serve food.

Artists ​produce art, or works of creative significance, including music, paintings, drawings,
poetry, writing, and more.
