Assignment 4 Term 3

So far in this course, you have examined a lot of things that go into exploring career and life, such as dreams vs. passions, skills, characteristics and competencies, perspectives of work, and the importance of volunteerism and community connections. 

In this lesson, we will continue to extend one of your assignments posted in Term 1, to put these concepts together while examining more career paths. The more we find out about various career options now will enable us to better navigate our options when our time comes!

The first thing to understand about researching a career is that it helps to be at least a little intrigued by that particular path of work. 

Many career journeys follow a straight path—graduate from high school, go to school and start your career. However, more often than not, there may be a serendipitous moment—you take a course in high school that sparks your interest in an occupation, or your friend offers you a great new job, or a move takes you to a region with different demands.
