We have been exploring potential careers this year, and will be going on a field trip to the University of California-Davis in April.
You are going to use this post for at least two Fridays, and maybe longer. You should leave comments three separate times because there are three assignments:
1) As part of that exploration, please do the assessments at Career Zone California. There are three of them. Write in the comments section at least three things you learn from them. Completing these assessments will take you at least one class period.
2) After you complete the assessments, go to California Reality Check to learn how much money you will need to earn the live the kind of lifestyle you want. Write in the comments at least three things you learn from this exercise.
3) After you complete that part, please revisit California Career Zone. You used this site earlier in the year to research possible jobs you might be interested in. Investigate more careers to see if you still are interested in the same jobs you were a few months ago, or in different ones. Keep in mind the things you have learned from the career assessments and from California Reality Check. Write in the comments section at least three things you learn from doing this research.
Use the following links to learn about the possible careers that you and your parents have said might be in your future.
Answer four questions for each career. You only have to write an a sentence or two in response to each question. Share the answers in the comments section. When you do, first list the career and then the answers underneath.
1) What kind of education is required to get this job?
2) What do you do in this job?
3) What is the salary range for the job?
4) Why are you interested in this job?
You can research using these sites. Some of them also include questions you can answer to help you find other careers that might be good for you:
