For this assignment, you are to select 3 careers that you may want to after high school graduation. Research the pay scale, markets that seek professionals in that occupation, and companies hiring for that occupation.
Once you have decided the careers, research 2 universitites per career choice that offer degrees needed to be employeed in the field of choice. Items to research when looking at the universities are: what degree do you need, how long will it take to obtain the degree, classes required for that degree, other careers you could obtain with that degree, how do you apply to that school and department, is there funding available, what is the total cost of obtaining that degree?
If you are choosing not to attend college, you are still to select 3 career choices and complete the requirements stated in the first paragraph. However, instead of selecting a college, what skills do you need to be successful, find out what training you will need for your occupation, where will you obtain your training, how long will it take to complete the training, and how much will it cost you to complete the training?
Put your research information in bound report form and turn it into me on Wednesday, April 11, 2012. Once turned in, save the document as a .pdf and upload it to this blog in the comment section. Along with the paper, write a comment about the assignment describing the new information you found.
