Ms. Crider CE King FCCLA CE King High School Houston, TX Region IV Rock Star
Self-Assessment • On December 5th, I went to www.texasrealitycheck.com and took their interest inventory about what kind of life I wanted for myself. • I stated that I wanted the most expensive type of lifestyle with as little education as possible.
Self-Assessment Cont. • Because of the info I gave, the program told me I should be come a Rock Star! • Without taking the assessment, I still would have wanted to be a Rock Star, but the results made me much more confident in my choice.
Career Research • Job Description: My job would be to learn songs that other people have written, record the songs, do media promotions of the music and perform both in concert and for media outlets. • Duties: I would have the duties of living a rock star type lifestyle, setting a poor example for America’s youth while still being considered a role model, and trying not to die young. • Responsibilities: I would be responsible for keeping a unreasonable level of drama in my life, rocking people’s faces off and endorsing merch that is terribly over priced.
Career Research Cont. • Qualifications: If I can pretend to sing, then I qualify to be a rock star. • Entry-level positions: First I probably should start out as a struggling local artist in order to be visible for record label scouts. Or I could put myself on the internet. • Advancement opportunities: Once I get picked up by a record company, I will instantly become a sensation, just like the Chocolate Rain kid. • Job Outlook: The outlook is pretty terrible for the nest 10 years or so. • Salary: As much as possible. How much money they give me directly depends on how popular I can get.
Exploring Local Artists • I have a friend who was in a local band called Gnar World Order. I recently asked him some questions about being Level 2 famous. • He said that there isn’t much too it but it took a really long time to get to where his band currently is. • They put in lots of time and effort for gigs that don’t really pay and probably won’t yield any more fame than they started with. • He reports that it is a long, hard, but fun road to travel.
Sample Work • In Ms. Crider’s class, we did a project called a “Life Map”. • This map gave me a chance to think about my past and future like a road map of where I have been and where I want to go. • This project gave me a chance to imagine myself as a rock star and to path I will have to take to become the ultimate entertainer.
Career Planning • I have 2 main career goals: • To become a hugely popular rock star • To make a ton of cash • To complete these goals I plan to: • Take music classes in high school. • Start a band before leaving high school. • Begin playing a lot of show by the end of high school. • Start locally touring before the age of 20. • Make a network with at least 20 other bands and venue owners by the time I’m 21.
Use of FCS Coursework • Family and Consumer Science education will help me because: • It taught me to work hard, be honest, and pretend to be interested in topics I don’t care about. • I learned to cook, sew and take care of babies. This will come in handy when I live alone with almost no money and have to babysit my friends’ kids for extra cash.
