v     Click on the link within the third bullet labeled “A-Z Index.”

v     Find 3 careers you find interesting and put those career names at the top of the last 3 columns.

v     Underneath each career, write a FEW words to correspond with the row heading.  For example:  next to working conditions you might write “desk job.”  DO NOT copy and paste.  This should be in your own words!

v     Put your first and last name under the table and print out your work.  Hand it in!

v     If time remains, go to Elibrary or Encarta and see if you can find any additional information on one of the careers you chose.
