The job track I selected, in this case, is the humanities job track. The reason I made this selection is because I feel I have a stronger connection to jobs that require a more humanistic approach. Humanities are jobs that involve plenty of interactions with a lot of people, and I find myself to be a social person hence my selection of the same. The positions in the humanities range were:
Curatorial assistant
Tutor
Assistant teacher
They are listed from my most favorite to my least favorite. The curatorial assistant drew me in from the first moment I saw. For starters, the job is in Boston which is a place I would very much like to work in. Boston feels like the right place for me. Secondly, the curatorial assistant and assistant teacher are the two jobs with fixed salaries and benefits but, of the two, the curatorial assistant has a higher pay plus benefits. Lastly, the position offers subsidized passes that can even be used in peak season. A bus pass reduces my costs of fuel and the amount of time I might spend stuck in traffic. The tutor came second. What made me pick it over assistant teacher is that a tutor is a freelancer, therefore, to an extent, his boss.
The amount of time and effort I put into it determines the salary I get at the end of the month. And, if I work right, I get a better job with the company. The flexibility it offers is a great convenience for me. The assistant teacher came in last because an assistant teacher is only a substitute for the main teacher.

He does not have any sense of power or control over his hours or his job type, and I believe it is slightly belittling. It feels like a job that would be a stepping stone to a better job. My grandfather was a curator. He loved his job. He always told me how the museum made him come alive and how discovering the past was like seeing into the future. He made me fascinated with the job, and since then, I have always loved museums. I visit the local museum every so often.
