Extra, Extra! Read all about it! How do we get much of
our local, state and national news? By reading the
newspaper, of course. Putting together a daily
newspaper requires communicative, investigative and
technical skills, plus a lot of energy! A local
newspaper is a window to the community and much, much
more. Talk to the people who pull it all together, see
the giant presses, and decide whether you have what it
takes to be part of this exciting industry.

Surveying is a valued profession that combines strong
analytical abilities with high-tech advances. Many
people think that surveyors only conduct fieldwork.
Surveyors can choose from many specialties and get
involved at many stages of a project. They are the first
on the job. Sometimes they get involved while the
project is being completed. When the job is done, they
make sure that all the measurements are in line with
original plans. Job opportunities are plentiful,
exciting, and varied. Technology advancements in recent
years will keep the demand for surveyors high.
Northwoods Land Surveying also employs engineers. If
you like the outdoors and like to solve problems, learn
more about this interesting career.

Governor Granholm is stressing the importance of
renewable energy in Michigan’s future, estimating that
substantial careers in that field are on the horizon.
She says that Michigan has an opportunity to create new
“green collar” jobs, reduce its reliance on fossil fuels
and cut its energy expenses. Just what is “renewable
energy”? Does the Eastern UP have the capacity to
produce renewable energy? How would a person get
involved in this career field? Some of these questions
will be discussed by Dr. Michael Doyle, a widely
traveled “student of the earth” who serves as a
consultant to the U.S. government and as the Director of
Research at Bay Mills Community College. In 2006 Dr.
Doyle received an International Honor Award from
the U.S. government for his recent work in Africa. He
is an expert on renewable energy and agriculture.
Currently he has projects evaluating local wind
resources and various agricultural solutions to our
energy needs. Learn more at this thought-provoking
showcase.
