Choose a career or professional job
to research that corresponds to your particular program and write a full 4-5 page
paper using research from secondary sources on that career. An additional page
will be the Works Cited page. You must include at
least one source from a government website and one from the Library Database.
Your job in
this paper is to make an argument that your chosen career path is the right one
for you to pursue. Your thesis for this
paper should be: “Because of the
nature of the job, being a ________ (fill in the career name) is (or is not)
the right career for me to pursue.” If
you are undecided on a career path, just pick one option you are considering
and write about it; this is a good way for you conduct career exploration!
Most
students will prove to themselves they have chosen a professional program
wisely. However, it is possible that at the end of the research, you will
realize you have made an error in choosing a career path. That is an acceptable
outcome for this paper.
This project
is worth 75 points total, 30 for the draft by deadline, 45 for the final by
deadline. It should be between 4-5 full pages long, not
including the Works Cited page.
