After reading the relevant information, please explain why you were initially interested in the occupation and then what influence the research had upon that interest.
· What aspects of your research confirmed what you already knew?
· Was there any new information that helped you understand the occupation?
· Did the research change your desire, for better or worse, to pursue that occupation?
Do NOT summarize the information!!
