Career Paths:
1. Financial analyst
A financial analyst is one of the most rigorous and coveted careers in finance. They primarily try to predict the outcome in a business decision such as a merger or predicting the market. In order to make financial models and predictions, financial analysts need to research macroeconomics and macroeconomics and mostly advise companies on good business decisions to make.
A regular day as a financial analyst depends on your seniority and expertise. The more junior financial analysts spends time gathering data, updating spreadsheets and financial models, and studying for exams to get licences. A more senior financial analyst develops contacts in the industry, uses data to make an investment strategy, and advises their company.
To become a financial analyst you don’t need to have a degree like in medicine and law. Today, with the amount of competition there is in this job market, you’re probably not going to get any type of job without a degree in economics, finance, statistics, or business.
This career connects with my personal strengths, skills, preferences, and interests. This job requires a lot of critical thinking by going through data to make financial models and predictions, you also need to be able to communicate effectively with your company.
2. Computer hardware engineer
A computer hardware engineer can design and test new computer hardware or can design devices that aren’t computers but incorporate computer hardware. Computer hardware engineers make sure hardware can work with software and sometimes need to work with software developers. You’ll need to make sure the computer hardware you design will work.
A computer hardware engineer builds and tests prototypes of new hardware. You’ll be using computer simulation software on a daily basis to test different designs. You will have to continually update your knowledge to try and keep up with advancements in hardware.
To get a job as a computer hardware engineer you will need a degree in computer engineering, electrical engineering, or computer science.
My skills, strengths and interests that connect with this job. One of my biggest interests is computers and how they work, this job would allow me to create computers which is an awesome thing to do. I would also need a lot of creative thinking to develop designs and also a lot of critical thinking to reflect on what went wrong with designs and how to fix them.

The Valley
in the valley, it’s hot as the sun shines
in the valley, the river is flowing
I do not think this is a sign
all the plants are growing
down in the valley, the animals roam
eating the grass day and night,
many living things call this valley home
because the sun shines and gives its light
int he valley there are all the seasons
winter is snowy, icy, chilly, and cold
spring and fall have warmth and reason
summer is hot, lousy, and uncontrolled
in the valley, the trees are covered with snow
the river turns to ice and does not flow
Core Competent Canadians
What did you know about the Core Competencies before this activity? What did you learn?
I knew a bit about the Core Competencies before this activity but I didn’t really understand them and what they meant. I learned what they meant from this activity and the meaning behind the Core Competencies.
How can your knowledge of the Core Competencies help you in your school life? Personal life?
I think the Core Competencies can help me in school a small amount and not affect me a lot. I think the Core Competencies can help me a lot more outside of school and are useful to have.

Is it possible to transfer information faster than the speed of light?
transferring data at faster than light speeds will make communication between planets and solar systems a lot bearable than waiting 4 years for a message to get to the nearest solar system. Faster data transfer might allow for real-time communication between planets. Nothing has been observed by scientists, to travel faster than light, and maybe nothing will ever be observed to travel faster than light. There have been studies to determine if neutrinos can travel faster than light, and some of them even said neutrinos could travel faster than light[1], but the measurements were faulty and not set up the right way. in order to make something go faster than the speed of light, we need to find out if light has mass because mass is closely linked with speed and energy, if light does have mass, there could easily be a particle with less mass than light or we could make one. So does light really have any mass? E=mc² proves that energy can become mass, and light does have a lot of energy. The short answer: no, nick lucid does a good job of explaining why light has no mass in this video:
light has no mass, but can there be something with negative mass?[2] particles with negative mass can actually work with Einstein’s theory of relativity [3]. Some Particles with negative mass are called tachyons.
Tachyons 
Tachyons were in Star Trek to explain faster than light travel and real-time communication over very long distances. Tachyons were first proposed by O. M. P. Bilaniuk, V. K. Deshpande, and E. C. G. Sudarshan in 1962, the term they used was “meta-particle”. If tachyons do exist, they would break the law of causality, allowing them to travel back in time[4], allowing us from the future to communicate with the past. If tachyons did travel back in time, why haven’t we seen any transmissions from the future yet? Is it because tachyons don’t exist? or for some other reason maybe? tachyons aren’t the only theorized way to send data faster than light, there are also wormholes.
Wormholes can work with general relativity but they are only a theory. Here is an explanation for wormholes “A wormhole could connect extremely long distances such as a billion light-years or more, short distances such as a few meters, different universes, or different points in time.” [5]. a wormhole can work like a teleporter, linking large distances. If we are to make a wormhole between 2 places it would require an immense amount of energy and the bigger it gets, the more energy it will take, so it might be practical to make a wormhole a few atoms wide to transfer signals through. There are some theories that going through a wormhole could be time travel [6] but it might not. Wormholes aren’t proven to exist and no one really knows if they are real but there is something that is proven and it might help us transfer information faster than the speed of light, quantum entanglement.
Quantum Entanglement
Quantum entanglement is proven to work and scientists can even entangle particles with experements[7]. I can’t explain how quantum entanglement works but Veritasium does a good job at explaining it here. the problem with quantum entanglement is with sending information if you force an entangled particle into a state it breaks the entanglement [8]. Unless more research happens in quantum entanglement we won’t be able to transmit data at faster than light speeds.
In the end, there is no way to transfer data faster than the speed of light at the moment. If more research goes into this topic and more experiments happen then it might be very possible. If I had to guess how we would transmit data at faster than light speeds I think it would be wormholes.
