Question #1 Is College right for you? When?

Do you know what people do in their daily work lives?

Job Explanations

Think about one job you have participated in. What other kinds of work are you interested in?
Working outside, the pay, the hours, people that you worked with. These are all considerations when selecting a job.
Jobs or Careers need not be taken lightly.

Does this job provide medical benefits, retirement,etc?
We never consider these important elements of a job until it is to late. Security is something you will need when you start out on your own.

Using the Investigating Careers (PDF) worksheet and Learn Link, select one career field that you are interested in. Based on the information you find, answer the worksheet questions in your own words.
