Occupations

[gizmofo]

What is your current occupation and what are some of your career goals?

I'm currently a high school student taking some classes in the medical field, in hopes to some day join it.

After hearing the Zydel was a nurse (=p), I realized it would be hard to imagine what all of you do.

[Hawk Eye]

High School Senior, no job, atm.

Programming / Physics.

[Credge]

Student.

Field: Biology

^_^

[uBeR]

Full time college student.

[-=Roland=-]

Arcade Game Mechanic / Collector / Supervisor

[BinaryLife]

Store Manager of an authorized retailer for at&t cell phones.

I went to college and was jaded towards the very existence of people teaching other people being as most of my professors were almost as big assholes as my advisers were.

Also, while I exists as a salesmen in my current job, I've never done something to disgustingly immoral as what advisers did to me, and many other people at many other schools in the area. And I sell cell phones... people hate me.

I'm sure I have a goal somewhere, when I find it I'll let you guys know.

[Gigiya]

I go to school full-time and am majoring in IT.

Also, I work a measly twelve hours a week at my retail job.

[Demasu]

Full time college student, majoring in EMS. EMT-Basic certified, and will probably have a job at a transport service soon(only 18 btw), the only thing the job relies on is actually going and meeting the guy, basically(the wonders of having awesome people in the program).

[CatzEyes93]

software training manager

when I grow up I want to be a barbie doll cuz she has lots of kewl stuff.

[SoBe Green]

Computer Technician
I fix computers after people have been looking at too much porn. If I had a job description thats what it would be.

Before that I was a Projectionist. Haven't went to college but I plan on going for some certs in the next few years and from there if I'm not burnt out on this line of work I'll probably do a few years of college just to get a degree of some kind.

I put those ships in those little bottles, I love the satisfaction my job gives me, putting something so big through such a tight opening

[C-Aim]

My current "occupation" (I don't get paid) is Student Teacher. I'm currently working on getting certified in NYS to teach Middle and High school. I want to teach Mathematics for a minimum of 25 years while I also work on additional degrees, and then maybe teach classes on adolescent education at the college level.

Can you then please explain to me an easy way find LCMs with prime factorization. Gosh that's annoying.

[Rutabeggar]

College Junior who took a semester off from school to work, but isn't working...or going to school lol


Major: US History>>>>>being a teacher.


I guess me and BinaryLife have no chance of getting along?

[TheWetMule]

Student.

Long time career goals? Studently things, you know, all that jazz.

[YomMamasHouse]

Student doing a victory lap, working as a dishwasher/food prep person at a country club. I want to enter the field of medicine, didn't really have any direction till the end of grade 12 so I took the extra year to fill in missing gaps. I want to go into medicine because it has a lot of options and if I get a job in the research field I can learn about stuff and get paid, which kicks ass.

I'll answer with a detailed example, and provide a link that may help. It is actually pretty easy, but requires some book keeping (some of it can be done in your head if you use it a lot, otherwise just keeping a list will always work):


Here is an example:
Find the LCM of 360 and 675

Step 1: Do the Prime Factorization
360 = 2 * 180
360 = 2 * 2 * 90
360 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 45
360 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 15
360 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 *5
360 = (2^3)*(3^2)*5

675 = 3 * 225
675 = 3 * 3 * 75
675 = 3 * 3 * 3 * 25
675 = 3 * 3 * 3 * 5 * 5
675 = (3^3)*(5^2)


Step 2: List the Prime Factors:
2
3
5

Step 3: List # of each of the prime factors in each number:
360

• # 2's: 3
• # 3's: 2
• # 5's: 1

675

• # 2's: 0
• # 3's: 3
• # 5's: 2

Step 4: For each of the prime factors listed in Step 2, look at the result in Step 3 and find the maximum amount of times that each factor appears in one of the numbers (hard to explain, see below):

Max(# of 2's) = 3 (there are 3 in the factorization of 360, 0 in 675)
Max(# of 3's) = 3 (there are 3 in the factorization of 675, 2 in 360)
Max(# of 5's) = 2 (there are 2 in the factorization of 675, 1 in 360)


Step 5: Multiply the prime factors together, each should appear the number of times as in step 4 (i.e., raise each factor to the number you get in step 4):

(2*2*2)*(3*3*3)*(5*5) = 5400
i.e.
(2^3)*(3^3)*(5^2) = 5400

So, 5400 is the LCM of 360 and 675



Try calculating the LCM of these 2 on your own: 6300 and 2058. The answer is 308,700 but try to reach it on your own.

As for what I do for a living.....
