1. Job Description - What duties does the job entail? What would a work day be like? 2. Personality Characters - What are the personality characteristics of most people who select this job?

Possible effects on your health? What are the biggest complaints employees make? 4. Places of Employment - With what type of government and private agencies would you find a job. Are there more of these jobs in certain geographical locations? Where could you find that job locally (within a 2 hour drive)? 5. Job Outlook - What does the future hold for this career? Is it being replaced by automated processes or is it a growing industry in which there is a high demand? What are the government projections for this career? 6. Salary Information 7. Recommended Education and Training
 * Information**

Students should provide links to the sources of their information. These webpage descriptions/citations are important because they provide authority to your site and others can check to see if the information has been updated from the time your page was published. Citing your sources also keeps you from being charged with plagiarism. Use the link below to access a website citation generator.
 * Citations**

The purpose of this assignment is to share information. Therefore, you are to visit another person's career page and comment on it by selecting the discussion tab. Your comments should reflect on something you like about their webpage or the career described AND should also give advice. Provide at least one piece of constructive criticism. You are giving a suggestion for improvement, not negatively "bashing" the author's efforts.
