Glossary:

Robert Pullman

“I work as an electrician for a construction company. I install,

connect, test, and maintain electrical systems for a variety of
functions, including climate control, security, and
communications. My work is very difficult. Every day I risk
injuries from electrical shocks, falls and cuts. That’s a big
disadvantage of my job. I work 40 hours a week but
sometimes I work extra hours at nights and weekends.”

Andrea Smith

“I love what I do because I have liked computers all my life

and this is my dream job. I am a computer operator and
technician. I work 8 hours a day, 6 days a week. I install,
configure and upgrade operating systems and software. I
also need to solve problems with computer systems. The
problem is that I work far from home so it’s a two-hour
drive to get to my company. My boss is very friendly and my
colleagues too.”

James Spencer

“I work as a gardener for the local Town Hall and my day begins
very early, usually at seven o’clock. I normally work 37 hours a
week. Sometimes I need to do overtime, especially in the
spring. During my day I prepare and grade the terrain, apply
fertilizers and seed and maintain lawns. I can use my
imagination and create beautiful effects in gardens, using all
kinds of plants, flowers and trees. I also love working on sunny
days with nature around me. It’s incredible.”
