One of the most important decisions you will make in your life, someday, is your choice of career. Jobs of the future may require more education and training than ever before and some jobs of the future don’t even exist yet! The better prepared you are, the greater your chances for success.

To find a career that is a good fit for you, it’s a good idea to think carefully about your values, interests, skills, and personality. It’s also valuable to consider the skills that might be required or useful for the careers you are thinking about. For this project you will focus on one possible career path.

This is an individual project.

Use your list of your likes, interests, and skills to help with your thinking (you have already done this for your skills project).

You need to do some deep thinking about yourself and the following questions and answer them in as much detail as you can:

• Describe what might be your ideal job/career.
• What are the characteristics of this job/career that make it appealing to you and right for your values/interests/skills?
• What is it that you will be doing most days?
• Are you working with people, things, animals?
• Where will you live (for example, city, a different country, can you afford to live there?)
• What will your work environment be like?
• What is the average salary?
• How does this career contribute to your community or to the world.
• What are the education or training requirements?
• What are the skills you need?
• What are the job responsibilities?

Please remember that research can take place in different ways including internet, books, and talking to people.

Create a tri-fold brochure (which has six sides), on regular 8.5″ x 11″ paper to demonstrate your learning and share the information above in an organized way. I recommend using headings. You can do this by hand, or in Word using a Word template. If using Word, please work in your VSB account so you can work at school. Think carefully about which information will go on each panel of your brochure.

These websites might be somewhat helpful but will probably not answer all of your questions.
