Pyramid Healing
Duties and Responsibilities:
The campaign has failed to find the secret passages of the pyramid, until one of the workers declared that he heard the sound of the falling of a big stone near the place they dug. The engineers have decided to continue their digging in the direction through which they heard the falling stone. This has led them to a passage more than three feet high and three feet wide. This passage was steep.
 The passage required an effort to ascend until they reached the pyramid’s original secret entrance. It’s height is about 49 feet above the pyramid’s base. Hence, the campaign continued its digging through the descending passage which ended by a pit full of dust and debris. They found, on the other side of the pit, a narrow underground passageway that extended horizontally and which led them, after 50 feet, to a white wall without paintings or drawings. Under the underground passageway, there was a well opening which was dug up to 30 feet and led to nothing.
Average Salary:
different amounts, depends how much you work
Education:
No education required

     Nuclear Medicine Technologist
Duties and Responsibilities:
Nuclear medicine combines chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer technology, and medicine in using radioactivity to diagnose and treat disease. Though there are many diagnostic techniques currently available, nuclear medicine uniquely provides information about both the structure and function of virtually every major organ system within the body. It is this ability to characterize and quantify physiologic function which separates nuclear medicine from other imaging modalities, such as x-ray. Nuclear medicine procedures are safe, they involve little or no patient discomfort and do not require the use of anesthesia.
Average Salary:
 $28,000 - $42,000
Education:
  One year programs that lead to certification are offered by hospitals.  Associate and bachelor degrees are offered in colleges and universities.  Courses include training in safety, radiation procedures, physical science, effects of radiation to the body and organs, and computer techniques.  
Reflection:
I would like to be a nuclear medicine technologist because i would like to try something new in life.
