For this assignment, you will complete the two Goals Essay

Research Activity #1: Using your occupational type, identify a career that you would like to research for your Goals Essay.  Visit O*Net ( http://online.onetcenter.org/find ) and research your career. List two pros and two cons of career duties and responsibilities. This should be written as a short essay response. (Approximately 150 words).

Research Activity #2: Use the Internet to research your chosen career's educational requirement for your Goals Essay.  Be sure you are using scholarly sources!  What type of degree does your chosen career require and what is the average pay? This should be written as a short essay response (Approximately 150 words).

Be as thorough as possible when writing, and remember, this is an academic assignment, so no “text-talk,” no conversational tone, and ABOVE ALL OTHER THINGS… don’t plagiarize!!  Lastly, spell-check and proofread your work! You will submit both of these activities in one document, but please provide a title on each so they are clearly labeled on your paper. Failure to follow these steps will negatively impact your grade.
