Career Preparation
I really have no idea what career I want to pursue in the future. I have always loved writing so I hope that my future job involves writing in some form. This assignment was important for me because it gave me a chance to learn a new essay format and to try something I had never done before. The assignment was to interview my grandmother and my mother about the economic problems and successes they have experienced in their lives. I had never interviewed anyone before so it was an interesting new experience. After conducting the interviews I compiled the information into an essay comparing and contrasting their lives with my own. This assignment gave me a chance to write, which is what I love and what I hope to do in the future.
Project 1
This project was called Surviver: The New Economy. As part of this project I had to do research about a possible career choice of mine. This project is definately the best example of career preperation because it forced me to explore all the aspects of this career. I chose to research Phychology because it is something that I'm interested in. I discovered what kind of education I would need, what kinds of jobs I could get in this feild and how much money I could make. This research will be really helpful in the future when I am considering psychology as a major in college.
