What experience either in class, or as a volunteer, or worker do you have with this career/job? (why did you select it?) 3. Is there anything that surprised you about the job? 4. What do you feel your next step should be in considering going into this field? (more research, doing a co-op in it, summer job, exploring colleges or universities etc)
Now click on one more video link in a field you have never considered but could possibly do. (don't pick doctor if you hate science for instance). Watch the video and answer the following questions: 1. What made you click on this link? 2. Name 3 things that you didn't know about this field. 3. What are your thoughts on this kind of job for you in the future? 4. Is this job now something you would consider?
Feel free to watch as many videos as you like. They are interesting and fairly accurate. They are from BC, not Ontario so some of the criteria (salary, education) may be a bit different but it's still quite close to what you can expect if you pursue these jobs.
