Choose at least three different careers you are interested in pursuing. Research the education level the career requires, the an
nual salary for that position, and calculate a lifetime income. Create a table to organize your findings. Submit your completed table. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a paragraph, explain how your research has led to any new thoughts or ideas about what type of education you would like to pursue after high school.
The career planning process is ongoing and sequential. Since it is fluid rather than chronological, you move to the next step only when you are ready to do so, and you may move back and forth between steps at any given time. The career planning process is also cyclic. When career change is desired anytime during your work life, you may repeat the process once again. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that the majority of members of the labor force will make three to four major changes in their career during their 35 to 45 years of working. Because human beings are complex, each of us has unique aspirations, goals, potential for development, and limitations. Although we can follow the same process, career planning outcomes must be individualized.
