=**//__21st Century Careers:__ //**= =**//__a) Job Description - Fusion Engineer__//**= A Fusion Engineer designs and conducts experiments in nuclear fusion, (both plasma and technology). A Fusion Engineer provides theory, models, methods, and designs in areas relating to technology, engineering, and applied science aspects of magnetic and inertial fusion energy. Specific areas of interest include: MFE and IFE design studies for experiments and reactors; fusion nuclear technologies and materials, including blankets and shields; analysis of reactor plasmas; plasma heating, fuelling, and vacuum systems; drivers, targets, and special technologies for IFE, controls and diagnostics; fuel cycle analysis and tritium reprocessing and handling; operations and remote maintenance of reactors; safety, decommissioning, and waste management; economic and environmental analysis of components and systems.

Engineers are required to work inside of laboratories, but can often be required to travel and work outdoors.

=**__//b) Educational Requirements //__**= Becoming and engineer is a technically demanding field requiring strong backgrounds in science and math. Almost all entry-level engineering jobs require a B.S. in engineering, though sometimes a degree in a physics, chemistry or math will suffice. Undergraduate degrees are typically awarded in specific areas, such as civil, mechanical or electrical engineering, though engineers can work in other, related fields. In addition to math, science and engineering, many programs require students to take social science and humanities classes as well. Engineers who specialize in nuclear fusion will need to pursue a graduate degree in that field. All engineers in the United States who offer their services directly to the public must receive a license, which typically required a B.S. in engineering and four years of relevant experience.

=**//__c) Potential Earnings__ //**= The amount an engineer can expect to earn varies depending on what type of engineering one specializes in and what one’s level of education is. On the average, engineers fresh out of school with a bachelor’s degree can expect to earn a little under $50,000 a year. New civil engineers earn an average of $43,679 a year, while new chemical engineers make $53,813 a year. Median salaries for all types of engineers range from $64,000 to over $88,000. Engineers with a doctoral degree working in demanding fields such as computer hardware or aerospace engineering can sometimes earn over $100,000 a year.

=**__//a) Job Description - Underwater Archaeologist//__ **= An Underwater Archaeologist required two professions: Archaeology, the study of ancient societies, cultures, and artifacts, and, Scuba Diving. Archaeologists are interested in all of human history, whether it is the relatively ephemeral traces of a campfire or meal eaten one million years ago in Africa, to the monumental architecture of classical Rome, the spectacular beauty of an Aboriginal rock art site, or the material culture of an early twentieth century household. Every artefact offers us a potential window on the past. Underwater Archaeologists look for and uncover lost shipwrecks and artifacts that have been lost at sea, so they must be highly training in underwater diving. This profession requires working outdoors and underwater for most of the time.
