FINANCE CLUSTER

Students have been researching the Finance cluster. I would like for them to reflect on three similarities and three differences in that cluster (a total of six items). After that, I'd like for them to reflect on what they have learned (the takeaway) about that cluster I have observed that the two jobs are in the same cluster, but are different and alike.The two careers wer Accountant and Finance examiners. The first reason that these careers are alike is the fact that they share many of the knowledge, skills, and abilities. Some of these are Economics, Accounting, Mathematics, and Administration. The next reason these are alike is because of the Education required for the two jobs. The education ranges in both carrers from a Bachelors Degree, up to a Masters Degree. The last reason they're alike is the Work Values. Some of the values are Achievement, Independence, and Support that these share. However, the careers are different in other ways. The Projected growth in these two careers are different. A Finance Examiner has a 20% to 28% projected growth, and an Accountant has a 10% to 19% growth. The next reason they're different is because of the Tasks/Work Activities. Some of the tasks off a Accountant are Prepare, examine, or analyze accountant record and Maintain or examine records. The tasks of a Finance Examiner is Train other examiners and review audit reports. The last reason these two careers are different is the related occupations. Some of the related occupations of a Finance Examiner are Budget Analyst, and Credit Analyst, Financial Analyst, and a Managment Analyst. The related occupations of an Accountant are Auditors,Insurance underwriters, and Risk Managment Specialist. These reflected on me because I learned that if you want to be in this cluster you have to love math and love it. Frankly, it is not the job for me because I defiantly do not love math.
