Shmoop University, Inc. announced the launch of new 'Shmoop Careers' section. Students can use this guide to glean more information about career paths they may be considering, or to open their minds up to new avenues. For each career, Shmoop breaks down what students can expect if they decide to make it their livelihood. Teens will get a snapshot of what the gig entails, a glimpse into a typical day in the life, a run-down on salary, power, fame, glory, stress, qualifications and more. Through Shmoop careers, students will learn: What career professional would use embalming fluid. What are the chances are of making it as an actor. How a plumber can make more money than most lawyers. What exactly a meteorologist does. More careers will be added each month, so take a gander at Shmoop Careers and check back often for updates! The Shmoop guide will help students live long and prosper. Mainly prosper, although the long life thing would be nice too.
