For this assignment, study an occupation or career in which you are interested. Establish criteria for evaluating this job, and conduct research in order to make an informed decision on whether this would be a good occupation for you. Be as specific as possible when determining a position to research—“A career in education” is too broad; a much better topic would be “A tenth-grade algebra teacher at Triton High School” . Gather information relevant to your criteria through talking to professionals in the field, scanning organizational websites, communicating with human resource professionals, and making your own observations. Provide in-text citations and a Works Cited page in MLA format. After you have used your information to make a decision, write a three to a four-page essay describing the job, detailing your criteria, and making a balanced and fair assessment. Make sure to demonstrate your knowledge of the topic and give clear and well-supported reasons for your conclusions.
